Revolutionizing Lifting Operations: Automatic Shackle Overview

What is the S40 Automatic shackle?

It is an automatic shackle designed to deliver safe and effortless performance in industrial lifting applications. Imagine being able to engage and release heavy loads with the push of a button, eliminating the need to put workers in harm’s way. That’s precisely what the S40 automatic shackle offers.

It also boasts a range of advanced safety and productivity features, including a LED status indicator, an auto-close system, and a safe release indicator. These features ensure reliable performance and establish a new benchmark in lifting technology.

Fail-Safe Design: Ensuring Safety in Every Lift

To ensure the automatic shackle operates as a failsafe device, the load-bearing pin is mounted within a floating sub-frame. When the load is suspended, this sub-frame sinks into the main frame, securely locking the pin in place. This design makes it impossible to retract the pin while the load is suspended, ensuring reliable and safe operation.

Safe Release System: Controlled and Secure Lifting

A sensor monitors the position of the floating sub-frame, with LEDs signaling when the pin is in the neutral or “sweet spot/safe release” position. Only then will the shackle attempt to release the load, ensuring a secure and controlled operation.

Effortless Lifting: Autoclose System Explained

The autoclose system combines magnets, sensors, and ingenious engineering to make remote engagement and release of loads possible with precision and safety.

Once the shackle is aligned with the target and positioned with the lifting point, the operator can fine-tune the height by moving it slowly up and down. The autoclose system will detect when the pin aligns with the lifting point hole.

At that moment, the LEDs turn red as the automatic shackle inserts the pin into the hole.

Once fully inserted, the LEDs change to blue, indicating that the load is secured and ready for safe lifting.

Real-Time Monitoring: LED Status Indicator

The S40 automatic shackle carries a High-Brightness LED status indicator, an additional safety measure which shows the status at all times:

Easy Installation: Plug and Play Automatic Shackle

The shackle requires no installation: it is remote-controlled and powered by a removable, rechargeable battery.

Powerful and Long-lasting: Automatic Shackle Battery

The Battery Indicator, featuring four high-brightness LEDs, clearly displays the battery level.

In addition, the S40 LEDs turn white when a battery replacement is necessary.

Remote Control Your Lifts: Wireless Convenience

The patented S40 Automatic Shackle is fully compatible with the eMAX, eMINI, and/or eINST remote controls.

For optimal and safe use of the S40 Automatic Shackle, we strongly recommend pairing it with the eLink remote control device. When correctly configured, the eLink can block the crane’s vertical movement while the shackle is in transition (signaled by red LEDs), minimizing the risk of hazardous situations and potential damage to the device.

Weighing scale: Optional Load Cell Integration for safer lifting

The S40 automatic shackle can be equipped with a load cell for precise load measurements during the lifting process. Our load cells provide quick and accurate readings, offering affordability and a longer lifespan compared to other sensors. Primarily used for weighing and preventing overloads, the load cell, when combined with the remote control, transforms our automatic shackle into a sophisticated and precise weighing scale with advanced features.
