Load Pins, Tension Links, & Load Shackles

Interface’s wide range of load pins are designed for the measurement of tensile and compressive forces across a wide variety of applications, including crane/lifting, industrial, marine, offshore, and civil engineering. Machined from high tensile stainless steel, our load pins are suitable for use in exposed situations including prolonged immersion in seawater. We offer a standard range of load pins, covering ratings between 1.1K lbf to 3.3M lbf (500kgs to 1500 MT), however, the nature of this type of product means that most load pins are manufactured to meet each customer’s specific dimensional requirements. The tension link series are designed for lifting and weighing applications in harsh environments and manufactured from high tensile aluminum and stainless steel. With easy installation and matched to standard shackle sizes, our load links come in ratings from 2.2K lbf to 1.1M lbf (1 to 500 MT) and are environmentally sealed to IP65, IP66, or IP67 as required. Tension links are manufactured to specific dimensions, but higher ratings are available upon request. A range of displays are also available to suit each application. All load shackles have been designed for lifting and weighing in rugged or harsh environments. The load shackle pins are manufactured from high tensile carbon steel and while the basic shackle uses the renowned Crosby G2130, G2140, and G2150 series (depending on the load rating). An optional rotating bobbin can be supplied to centralize the load and minimize any point-load effects. We can also supply load shackles that are fully submersible for sub sea and offshore applications, as well as telemetry load shackles.
