Kito Crosby has launched a newly-engineered Crosby G-2160 Wide Body Shackle in eight capacities from 400t to 2000t.

From the manufacturer that introduced the original wide body shackle, the new ergonomic design delivers industry-leading safety and efficiency and provides superior performance and versatility in demanding heavy lift applications. 

Features of the Crosby G-2160 includes; the widest bow on the market; three lifting points, including a recessed and removable center lifting point that reduces the risk of snags and provides balanced handling; Bow-to-bow compatibility for all sizes; anti-rotation bolt; Easy-Loc bolt securement option available for 400t, 500t, and 600t and optional Crosby Straightpoint load monitoring.

“The Crosby G-2160 Wide Body Shackle is a game changer for those working in heavy lifting environments. We are excited to bring this innovative product to market and look forward to helping improve safety on job sites, while saving end users both time and investment on slings,” said Fernanda Zamorano, global product manager, Kito Crosby.

The Crosby G-2160, the world’s first wide body shackle, was introduced in 1978 and has since become an integral component in industrial, construction, and oil and gas lifting projects around the world.  

Whether used for offshore lifting, construction projects, or other heavy-duty applications, the Crosby G-2160 Wide Body Shackle delivers the strength, reliability, and safety for which Crosby products are known.
