Guy Line Shackles

DX Engineering Bent Pin Shackles

DX Engineering Bent Pin Shackles are used for guy line attachment to towers for Amateur Radio and commercial applications. Also known as a clevis in the power industry, these shackles are specially designed with a removable bent bolt and locking nut to go through the outer hole of the matching guy strain insulators commonly known as the "502" or the "504" in ham radio tower work. Forged from 1/2 in. steel and hot dip galvanized, these Bent Pin Shackles have a minimum ultimate strength of over 12,000 lbs. and have a rounded end large enough to be used around a tower leg. However, they are typically connected to a guy attachment tower ear or guy bracket, with a screw pin shackle used as a link. The insulators that fit inside of this shackle accept the guy line big grips from either metal or non-metallic guy lines. For those who already have insulators, Bent Pin Shackles are offered in a set of three for each level of guying. We sell the matching DXE-502 and DXE-504 insulators in sets of three. Also available are two kits that include three Insulators of either size and three Bent Pin Shackles. Look to DX Engineering for the unique tower hardware that you need.
