Kito Crosby launches new wide body shackle

Kito Crosby introduces the newly engineered Crosby G-2160 Wide Body Shackle. From the manufacturer that introduced the original wide body shackle, the new ergonomic design delivers industry-leading safety and efficiency and provides superior performance and versatility in demanding heavy lift applications.

The new design comes in eight capacities ranging from 400t to 2000t.

The new Crosby G-2160 provides:

  • The widest bow on the market allows higher sling efficiency and capacity, with smaller sling sizes
  • Three lifting points, including a recessed and removable center lifting point that reduces the risk of snags and provides balanced handling
  • Bow-to-bow compatibility for all sizes, unlike any other brand
  • Anti-rotation bolt head to prevent unwanted turning during installation
  • Easy-Loc™ bolt securement option available for 400t, 500t, and 600t
  • Optional Crosby Straightpoint load monitoring – the only wide body shackle on the market ready to ship directly from the factory with this industry-leading technology

Fernanda Zamorano, Global Product Manager, Kito Crosby, said: “The Crosby G-2160 Wide Body Shackle is a game changer for those working in heavy lifting environments. We are excited to bring this innovative product to market and look forward to helping improve safety on job sites, while saving end users both time and investment on slings.”

The Crosby G-2160, the world’s first wide body shackle, was introduced in 1978 and has since become an integral component in industrial, construction, and oil and gas lifting projects around the world.

Whether used for offshore lifting, construction projects, or other heavy-duty applications, the Crosby G-2160 Wide Body Shackle delivers the strength, reliability, and safety for which Crosby products are known.
