3 Leg Wire Rope Bridle Sling with D-Shaped Screw Pin Shackles for Secure Lifting in KSA

3 Leg Wire Rope Bridle Sling with D-Shaped Screw Pin Shackles for Secure Lifting in KSA: In demanding industrial environments such as construction sites, shipyards, oil refineries, and steel plants, lifting heavy, uneven, or awkwardly shaped loads is a common challenge. To handle these operations safely and efficiently, riggers and crane operators rely on high-quality, certified lifting gear.

Among the most versatile and reliable solutions available today is the 3-leg wire rope bridle sling with D-shaped screw pin shackles. Engineered for stability, strength, and simplicity, this lifting assembly is a must-have for any serious rigging toolkit.

At SSTC (Safe and Secure Trading Company) in Saudi Arabia, we supply a comprehensive range of lifting and rigging solutions tailored for industrial use—compliant with both local and international standards. This blog post covers everything you need to know about the 3-leg bridle sling with D-shackles: its components, uses, benefits, and safety considerations.

What is a 3-Leg Wire Rope Bridle Sling?

A 3-leg bridle sling is a rigging configuration consisting of:

  • A master link at the top for crane hook attachment
  • Three wire rope legs connected via secure terminations
  • End fittings, such as hooks or shackles, attached to each leg

When paired with D-shaped screw pin shackles, this setup offers superior load control, quick assembly, and even load distribution across three lifting points.

Understanding D-Shaped Screw Pin Shackles

A D-shaped shackle (also known as a chain shackle) has a narrower profile than bow shackles, making it ideal for straight-line pulls or where the load is centralized. The screw pin mechanism allows for quick installation and removal.

Features of D-Shaped Screw Pin Shackles:

  • Made from high-strength forged steel
  • Corrosion-resistant coatings (galvanized or stainless steel)
  • Ideal for straight or inline lifts
  • Threaded pin for fast setup
  • Available in a variety of working load limits (WLLs)

These shackles are best used where precise alignment is required and angular loading is minimal.

Benefits of Using This Configuration

1. High Load Capacity

With three load-bearing legs, the sling distributes weight more evenly, allowing for higher lifting capacities without sacrificing safety.

2. Improved Load Stability

The three-leg design offers natural triangulation, helping maintain load balance, especially useful for asymmetrical or shifting weights.

3. Quick Setup

The screw pin mechanism on D-shackles simplifies assembly and disassembly, reducing rigging time during frequent lifts.

4. Customizable

Lengths, rope diameters, and fittings can be customized based on your project-specific lifting angles and requirements.

5. Secure Connection

D-shackles offer a tight and straight pull connection, minimizing swing or slack during lifts in tight or confined environments.

Safety & Maintenance Guidelines

  • Pre-Lift Inspection: Check each wire rope leg for frays, kinks, corrosion, or broken wires. Also, inspect the shackles for cracks, wear, and thread integrity.
  • Ensure Proper Pin Engagement: Fully tighten screw pins and verify they are not subjected to angular stress.
  • Avoid Shock Loading: Always lift slowly and steadily—shock loads can exceed WLL momentarily and cause failure.
  • Correct Storage: Store the sling in a dry, cool place, ideally on racks to avoid crushing or rust.
  • Documented Certification: Only use slings with valid inspection certificates and traceable serial numbers.
