    Customer Questions

    Q: Is this appropreate for putting around a shackle too? or just non running cables?
    A:

    It could be girthed to a shackle as well but you would need to lock the pin on the shackle in a way that it can't unthread itself. This friction saver for cranes was built to girth around the cable above the ball on the cable itself.

    Absolute necessity for crane work

    You're hanging your life on this, don't cheap out. This is ANSI approved for tying into a crane as it is technically two separate tie in points. As always, arbsession quality abounds.

    necessity for crane work

    I wouldn't trust my life support on a crane without something protecting it such as this has. If you are like me and hire a crane company they likely work in many different situations and there can be burrs on the ball that would make me feel unsafe using anything without a protective covering.
