ears, shackle: portion of the shackle body that supports the shackle pin (see Fig. 26-1.9.4-1).
Iiardwa re service
nornial: service that involves use of loads at or below the rated load.
severe: service that involves normal service coupled with abnormal rigging or operating conditions.
special: service that involves operation, other than normal or severe, that is approved by a qualified person.
hitch, choker: a method of rigging a sling in which the sling is passed around the load, then through one loop eye, end fitting, or other device with the other ioop eye or end fitting attached to the load-handling device. in-line loading: condition where the load is applied through the centerline of the rigging hardware at the intended bearing points.
jaw: a U-shaped, load-bearing connection designed for use with a removable pin (see Fig. 26-2.1.1-1).
LID: see load-indicating device.
line pill!: the tension load in a rope entering a rigging block (see Fig. 26-5.3-1).
live end: the section of wire rope that is tensioned under load (see Figs. 26-3.1.1-1 and 26-3.1.1-2).
load-indicating device: a device that measures and displays applied load or force.
manufacturer: the entity responsible for the physical production of an item.
pin, shackle: a steel bolt made to span the two shackle ears (see Fig. 26-1.9.4-1).
primary load fitting: the fitting on a rigging block that carries the highest applied load during use (see Fig. 26-5.3-1).
proof load: the specific load applied in performance of the proof tests.
proof test: a nondestructive load test made to a specific multiple of the rated load of the rigging hardware.
qualified person: a person who, by possession of a recognized degree in an applicable field or certificate of professional standing or who, by extensive knowledge,training, and experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the subject matter and work.
26-1.4.2 Proof Load Requirements
(a) The proof load for a shackle up to and including a 150 ton (136 metric ton) rated load shall be a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 2.2 times the rated load unless approved by the manufacturer.
(b) The proof load for a shackle over a 150 ton (136 metric ton) rated load shall be a minimum of 1.33 and a maximum of 2 times the rated load unless approved by the manufacturer.
SECTION 26-1.5: IDENTIFICATION
26-1.5.1 Shackle Body Identification
Each new shackle body shall have forged, cast, or diestamped markings by the manufacturer to show
(a) name or trademark of manufacturer
(b) rated load
(c) size
26-1.5.2 Shackle Pin Identification
Each new shackle pin shall have forged, cast, or diestamped markings by the manufacturer to show
(a) name or trademark of manufacturer
(b) grade, material type, or load rating
26-1.5.3 Maintenance of Identification
Shackle identification should be maintained by the user so as to be legible throughout the life of the shackle.
SECTION 26-1.6: EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENT
26-1.6.1 Temperature
When shackles are to be used at temperatures above 400°F (204°C) or below —40°F (—40°C), the shackle manufacturer or a qualified person should be consulted.
26-1.6.2 ChemicalLy Active Environments
The strength of shackles can be affected by chemically active environments, such as caustic or acid substances or fumes. The shackle manufacturer or a qualified person should be consulted before shackles are used in chemically active environments.
SECTION 26-1.7: TRAINING
Shackle users shall be trained in the selection, inspection, cautions to personnel, effects of environment, and rigging practices as covered by this Chapter.
26-1.8.1 Initial Inspection
Prior to use, all new, altered, modified, or repaired shackles shall be inspected by a designated person to verify compliance with the applicable provisions of this Chapter. Written records are not required.
26-1.8.2 Frequent Inspection
(a) A visual inspection shall be performed by the user or other designated person each day before the shackle is used. Rigging hardware in semi-permanent and inaccessible locations where frequent inspections are not feasible shall have periodic inspections performed.
