hi-lift shackles

[flyingwil]

When at Big Bend, Rodger had these D ring shackles that were bent to provide a lifting point with a hi-lift, and the standard recovery points. Any one know where to get these? Or better yet who makes them?

[devinsixtyseven]

are you talking about the kind that's sort of twisted like a pretzel? tractor/farm suppliers usually carry them. if that's not it, then i dunno :p...

[pskhaat]

Ace Hardware sells them, they're fully rounded right? I've got one, but never considered using it for the high-lift. Huh, the things you learn...

[RoundOut]

Here are some special shackles I have seen. Was it one of these?

The green and galvanized ones are military "NSN" shackles and the red one is called a twisted clevis.

[flyingwil]

It is like the red one. Where would you find that? Who makes them?


It is the one in this picture.

Where would you find that?

Bahahaha! That was good! I would love to send that to some of my students!

Hilarious:exclaim:

I have to say the members of expo portal have the best manners on the net! I frequent a couple other forums and this is by far the best place to ask a question. Even when a member wants to drop explatives they come up with an inventive, hilarious, and ultimatley non-degrading way of doing it.

So glad I stumbled across this corner of the net:bowdown:

I must be slow, I didn't get it until I looked at the name of the picture... :o

[devinsixtyseven]

Tractor Supply Co. also sells donkey recovery equipment :p...and I've seen the same stuff at Ace, Eagle, Lowes etc...but best bet is farm supply stores.

It might be that I'm not looking at this thing right, but wouldn't a regular D ring work better with a Highlift, by just flipping it up and over the lifts foot? Or do you turn the jack 90degrees to the vehicle and then slide the foot into the ring?

[flyingwil]

Basically it can not flip up vertical and stops horizontal and provides a jacking point.

Outstanding! I'm still laughing.

I gotta save that one for a rainy day.

Thanks, Wil.
