Key Features

Superior Strength and Durability

Material Composition: CREATOMAC INDUSTRIES utilizes premium-grade alloy steel, combining elements such as chromium, molybdenum, and nickel to enhance the steel's structural integrity.

High Load Capacity: These shackles are engineered to bear substantial loads, with working load limits (WLL) appropriate for extensive industrial use.

Enhanced Toughness: The alloy steel construction provides superior toughness, ensuring the shackles can withstand heavy use under extreme conditions without compromising their performance.

Advanced Coating and Corrosion Resistance

Protective Coatings: Each shackle is coated with a high-quality finish that shields against environmental factors, such as moisture and chemicals, which can lead to rust and corrosion.

Longevity in Adverse Conditions: The corrosion-resistant properties ensure extended service life even in seawater or highly corrosive environments, making them ideal for maritime applications.

Precision Engineering

Accurately Machined: Precision engineering ensures that each shackle has consistent dimensions, providing a perfect fit and maintaining the integrity of the load-bearing capacity.

Rigorous Testing: Each shackle is subjected to rigorous testing procedures to verify its mechanical properties and ensure compliance with industrial safety standards.
