Bow or D body
Choose the body geometry from the connection arrangement and loading condition, then confirm dimensions against the selected model.
ZECHINDUSTRIAL RIGGINGZECH PRODUCT SERIES
Source forged bow and D shackles from ZECH for export orders. Compare screw-pin and bolt-type arrangements; confirm size, WLL, finish and documents.

SELECTION & ORDER BASIS
Choose the body and pin arrangement before comparing a quotation. ZECH reviews nominal size, dimensions, loading requirement, finish, marking and documentation for the selected shackle model.
Confirm body pattern, pin type, material grade, dimensions, WLL, finish, standard and testing requirements model by model.
ZECH supports industrial distributors and project buyers with model matching, catalog specifications, packaging confirmation and order-specific documentation. Final technical details are confirmed with the quotation.
DIRECT BUYER ANSWER
A forged bow or D shackle export RFQ should define the body pattern, pin arrangement, nominal size, WLL, material or grade, finish, governing standard, marking, destination and required inspection documents.
Choose the body geometry from the connection arrangement and loading condition, then confirm dimensions against the selected model.
State the pin arrangement needed for the installation, removal frequency and project specification.
Require legible marking and agree the standard, test scope, traceability and documents before order release.

BUYER COMPARISON
This table defines the information needed for a comparable quotation; it does not replace the selected product standard or application review.
| Configuration | Typical purchasing context | State in the RFQ |
|---|---|---|
| Bow-body shackle | Connections needing wider internal geometry or more than one attachment point, subject to the selected model and loading condition. | Nominal size, body and pin dimensions, connection geometry, load direction and required WLL. |
| D-body shackle | More aligned connection arrangements where the selected model and connected components permit the intended load path. | Nominal size, jaw and pin dimensions, mating component, load direction and required WLL. |
| Screw-pin arrangement | Applications requiring convenient assembly or removal where the approved operating procedure permits this pin pattern. | Body pattern, pin type, frequency of assembly, finish, marking and inspection scope. |
| Bolt-type arrangement | Applications requiring a retained pin arrangement, subject to the product standard and operating procedure. | Bolt, nut and cotter arrangement, body pattern, size, WLL, traceability and documents. |

PURCHASING FAQ
Final product suitability and commercial terms are confirmed against the selected model, application and order requirement.
A bow body offers more connection space, while a D body is narrower. The correct choice still depends on the selected model, connection geometry and permitted loading direction.
State whether the purchasing requirement calls for a screw pin, bolt-type or another project-specified arrangement, then include the body pattern and nominal size.
Provide or request the relevant body, pin, jaw and connection dimensions for the chosen model. ZECH confirms these against the applicable catalog item.
List the requested documentation and destination-market requirements in the RFQ. Product coverage and final documents are confirmed with the selected shackle and commercial order.
