Van Beest Green Pin P-6033 Wide Body Sling Shackle - 250 Ton WLL

Green Pin® P-6033 Wide Body Shackle – Where Sling Life Meets Lifting Power

Not all shackles are created equal. Standard shackles concentrate load forces into a narrow contact zone—accelerating sling wear, increasing pressure points, and shortening the lifespan of your most valuable rigging components. The Green Pin® P-6033 Wide Body Shackle changes that equation entirely.

The Wide Body Advantage

The P-6033's defining feature is its expanded bow geometry. By distributing load forces across a significantly broader bearing surface, it dramatically reduces the point pressure that causes premature degradation in synthetic roundslings, high-performance textile slings, and wire rope terminations. The result? Longer sling service life, lower replacement costs, and fewer unplanned equipment failures on the job. For operations running high-value synthetic lifting media, the P-6033 isn't just a shackle—it's sling protection built into the hardware itself.

Strength From the Ground Up

Every P-6033 begins as a forging. Grade 8 alloy steel, quenched and tempered to maximize tensile strength and impact resistance, forms the backbone of a shackle range that scales from 7 metric tons all the way to 1,550 metric tons WLL—spanning body diameters of 22 mm to 285 mm (7/8" to 11-1/4"). A bolt, nut, and cotter pin safety configuration locks the pin firmly in place, preventing accidental disengagement during permanent rigging setups, long-duration suspensions, or high-vibration environments.

Finish Options Matched to Your Environment

Shackles rated up to 55 metric tons receive a hot-dip galvanized finish for marine, coastal, and outdoor service. For larger sizes (75t and above), a painted finish with a silver bow and signature green pin provides robust protection and instant visual identification. Both finish options are rated for service across a -20°C to +200°C temperature range.

Documentation, Compliance & Digital Tracking

The P-6033 ships standard with CE marking and full ASME B30.26 compliance, supported by a 5:1 design safety factor. Optional 2.1, 2.2, and 3.1 material test certificates are available on request. Select sizes are available with integrated RFID tags for digital tracking, inspection scheduling, and lifecycle documentation.

Ideal For:

• Synthetic roundsling and high-performance textile sling connections
• Ultra-heavy lift and crane rigging assemblies
• Offshore platform, wind energy, and subsea lifting
• Infrastructure, bridge, and civil construction projects
• Permanent rigging requiring certified, documented hardware
