26-1.4.2 Proof Load Requirements
(a) The proof load for a shackle up to and including a 150 ton (136 metric ton) rated load shall be a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 2.2 times the rated load unless approved by the manufacturer.
(b) The proof load fur a shackle over a 150 ton (136 metric ton) rated load shall be a minimum of 1.33 and a masimum of 2 times the rated load tanless approved by the manufacturer.
SECTiON 26-1.5: IDENTIFICATION
264.5.1 Shackle Body Identification
Each new shackle body shall have forged, cast, or diestamped markings by the manufacturer to show
(a) name or trademark of manufacturer
(b) rated load
264.5.2 Shackle Pin Identification
Each new shackle pin shall have torged, cast, or diestamped markings by thr manufacturer to show
(a) name or trademark of manufacturer
(b) grade, material type, or load rating
26-1.5.3 Maintenance of Identification
Shackle identification should be maintained by the uier so as to be legible throughout the life of the shackle,
SECTION 26-1.6: EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENT
26-1.6.1 Temperature
When shackles are to be used at temperatures above 400’F (20 C) or below —40’F (—40”C), the shackle nianuIacturer or a qualified person should be consulted.
26-1.6.2 ChemicaLly Active Environments
The strength of shackles can Lw affected by chemically active environments, such as caustic or acid substances or fumes. The shackle manufacturer or a qualified person should be consulted before shackles are used in chemicalh active envirnramcnts.
SECTION 26-1.7: TRAINING
Shackle users shall be trained in the selection, inspeclion. cautions to personnel, effects of environment, and rigging practices as cosered by this Chapter
Adjustable hardware shall be removed from service if damage such as the following is present and shall only he returned to service when approved by a qualified person:
(a) missing or illegible identification
(b) indications of heat damage, including weld spatter or arc strikes
(c) excessive pitting or corrosion
(d) bent, twisted, distorted, stretched, elongated, cracked, or broken load-bearing components
fe) excessive nicks or gouges
(f) a 1O’ reduction of the original or catalog dimension at any point
‘g) excessive thread damage or wear
(h) evidence of unauthorized welding or modification (i) for swivel hoLst rings, lack of the ability to freely rotate or pivot
Q) other conditions, including visible damage, that cause doubt as to continued use
26-2.8.3 Repairs and Modifications
(a) Repairs, alteration,, or modifications shall be as specified by the adjustable hardware manufacturer or a qualified person.
(b) Replacement parts, including nuts, pins, and bolts, shall meet or exceed the original equipment manufacturer’s specifications.
SECTION 26-2.9: OPERATING PRACTICES
26-2.9.1 Adjustable Hardware Selection
(a) Adjustable hardware having suitable characteristics for the type of load, hitch, angle of loading, and environment shall be selected in accordance with the adjustable hardware manufacturer’s data.
NOTES:
(1) The angle of loading affects the stress in the hardware. As the horizontal angle decreases, the stress increases (see Fig. 26-2.9.1-1).
(2) The Integrity of the load where the adjustable hardware attaches is the responsibility of the end user.
(1’) The rated load of the adjustable hardware shall not be exceeded.
(C) Adjustable hardware that appears to be damaged shall not be used until inspected and accepted as usable per Section 26-2.8.
26-2.92 Cautions to Personnel (It
(a) All portions of the human body shall be kept from between the rigging hardware, the load, and any other.
