Description
An anchor shackle is a crucial component in pole line applications, designed to connect and secure guy wires to ground anchors. Its primary function is to ensure the stability and support of utility poles by providing a reliable attachment point for the guy wires.
Our anchor shackles are manufactured from high-quality forged steel conforming to IS 2062, Grade ‘E250’. This material choice guarantees excellent strength, durability, and resistance to the demanding outdoor conditions experienced in pole line environments. To further enhance their resilience, we subject our anchor shackles to a hot-dip galvanization process in accordance with BS EN ISO 1461. This protective zinc coating shields the shackles from corrosion and rust, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.
Features and Applications of Anchor Shackle
- Secure Guy Wire Connection: Anchor shackles are specifically designed to provide a robust and secure connection point for guy wires. Their sturdy construction and precise manufacturing ensure a tight and stable attachment, preventing unintended movement or detachment under normal operating conditions. This secure connection is essential for maintaining the stability and integrity of utility poles.
- Side Pulling Capability: In addition to their primary function of connecting guy wires to ground anchors, our anchor shackles can also be used for side pulling applications. When the angle of the guy wire deviates from the in-line (0°) position, the working load limit (WLL) of the anchor shackle is reduced accordingly. By factoring in this reduction, our anchor shackles can accommodate side pulling scenarios, providing flexibility in guy wire alignment.
- Corrosion Resistance: Our anchor shackles are engineered to withstand the harsh outdoor conditions commonly encountered in pole line environments. The hot-dip galvanization process forms a protective zinc layer on the surface of the shackles, effectively preventing corrosion and rust. This corrosion resistance ensures the longevity and reliability of the anchor shackles, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
- Compliance with Industry Standards: Our anchor shackles are manufactured in compliance with the widely recognized BS 3288 standard. This adherence to industry standards guarantees that our products meet the highest quality and safety requirements, providing peace of mind to our customers in the utility sector.
