About Pitching Shackles

The Quick/Ground Release Shackles are used for pitching all types of trench sheet and light pile by use of a spring loaded pin mechanism, which inserts through the lifting hole in the sheet.

The shackle is suspended from an excavator or crane using an appropriate lifting chain. Once the sheet is pitched and aligned the pin is then released by means of a rope at ground level which is connected to the mechanism.
