Help me out with a shackle

[RWSlater]

I trying to find a stainless shackle that has the screw type pin similar to the one in the picture that is 2" wide to accommodate a 2" strap and I am not having any luck anywhere. Working load has to be at least 300 lbs. Help a guy out here and post a link to one please.

Thanks
Ron

Unicorn Stainless has one (actual same picture as you show) with throat width listed as 1.89". Jam that strap in the sucker and go. http://www.unicornstainless.com/products/shackles/wide-d-shackle-with-screw-pin/

Thanks, Wow ½" wide clevis is YUGE, was hoping for something half that width.

This one lists throat width of 1.94". http://www.e-rigging.com/screw-pin-wide-d-shackle

Dunno what you want to do with it, but mebbe what you really want is a D ring? http://www.unicornstainless.com/products/rings-and-links/d-ring/

...Or fold the strap. A 2" strap creates terrible leverage on the pin.

Sharing the application would help.

That's pretty close to what I need, thanks

D-Ring won't work, the shackle needs to be able to be removed from the strap so the strap can fit through a 2" D-Ring, then reinstall the shackle once the strap is through the D-Ring

I'm making a lift sling and the 2" strap needs to fit through a 2" D-Ring then the shackle will be reinstalled on the strap once the strap is through the D-Ring.

If you are only lifting 300lbs some type of soft shackle or Amsteel strop with chafe protection would be a simple solution. Without an eye or other method of retaining the shackle your configuration looks like a quick way to deep-six an expensive piece of stainless steel gear.

I actually thought about a soft shackle, and researching them a little more, it might actually be the way to go.

Actually thinking of using a carabiner Might be a better solution. I think the shackle pin has to be so heavy duty that it makes them too big and bulky

You could actually use one of these

Yes I was looking into those also when I was looking at different carabiners. I need a triangle type that will take a 2" strap and then hang from the top corner. I would need to be stainless or aluminum also
