Skookum / Ulven Shackles

Most of our customers get by just fine with standard shackles from popular manufacturers like Crosby® and Chicago. Our logging customers, however, push their shackles to the edge and back on a daily basis. To withstand this kind of stress, one needs a shackle of the highest quality. The Ulven Companies (including the Skookum® and Ropemaster brands) has been meeting and exceeding this demand for many years. Venture onto just about any logging job here in the Pacific Northwest, and you’ll likely find their shackles. Whether buying from the Ulven line of shackles or from the Skookum® Gold Standard Forgings product line, you know that you’re getting the toughest shackle on the market. Size-for-size, these shackles boast the highest Working Load Limits (WLL) available. This makes them ideal for use with the high-strength variations of wire rope that loggers use (such as swaged or compact swaged line). They are made from hard alloy steel, and then they are quenched and tempered. Each shackle has the size and WLL permanently imprinted on it, making field identification quick and easy. All products from The Ulven Companies are 100% made in the U.S.A.
