If you work in an industry where you are moving and lifting heavy items you’re probably familiar with Green Pin shackles. Alternatively if you don’t work in an industry that frequently works with ropes and rigging equipment. That it would be completely reasonable that you’ve never heard about Green Pin shackles. I only recently learned about these pieces of equipment because of The Rope Guru.

For the specific application for use in electric utility, arboriculture, heavy lift crane use, construction and marine uses all across New England. The reason this company puts so much into their mission statement because of the owner’s history.
