Basic inspection steps before using the detachable buckle

Shackles are important connecting components for lifting operations, and their integrity is a basic condition for ensuring the safety of lifting operations. Therefore, before using them, it is necessary to conduct a basic inspection to ensure that there are no problems before use. So, what do these basic inspections include?

① Firstly, it is necessary to observe whether the shackle has severe corrosion and rust, which can be easily identified by the naked eye. If there is severe corrosion and rust, the strength of the shackle will inevitably be affected and it is not recommended to use it.

② Then observe whether there are clear cracks on the surface of the shackle and whether the screw threads are damaged. These cracks are likely caused by severe overload use, and continuing to use may lead to breakage. The damage to the threads will seriously affect the normal rotation of the bolt, making it impossible to seal.

③ Finally, observe whether the shackle has undergone any deformation, including slight deformation visible to the naked eye. This deformation indicates that the shackle has suffered internal damage, which not only seriously reduces its strength, but also affects the accuracy of bolt tightening.

These three points are the basic inspection process before using the shackle. By doing these inspections well, the safety of using the shackle is greatly improved. If you want to learn more about the safe use of shackles, please feel free to follow us at any time.
