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 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
