Richardson, Texas, USA – Kito Crosby introduces the newly engineered Crosby G-2160 Wide Body Shackle. 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.

The new design comes in eight capacities, from 400t to 2000t.

The new Crosby G-2160 provides:

• The widest bow on the market, allowing for higher efficiency of the sling and smaller sling size
• Three lifting points, including a recessed and removable center rib lifting point that reduces the risk of snags and provides balanced handling
• Bow-to-bow compatibility for all sizes, unlike any other brand
• Anti-rotation bolt head prevents unwanted turning during installation
• Easy-Loc™ bolt securement option available for 400t, 500, and 600t
• Optional Crosby Straightpoint load monitoring, the only wide body on the market ready to ship from factory with this industry-leading technology

Each shackle undergoes 100% comprehensive production testing, including ultrasonic inspection, magnetic particle inspection, chemical analysis, mechanical material testing, and visual inspection. In addition, each shackle is proof load tested up to 2x WLL, type approved, DNV certified, and is backed by Kito Crosby’s unmatched transparency.

Marc Premont, Kito Crosby’s Chief Product Officer, said: “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.”

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.
