About this asset

This D-style steel shackle is a Revit family component featuring a classic rigging design for industrial or construction detailing. The D-style shackle consists of a forged steel body with a U-shaped bow and a removable threaded pin, which is secured by a distinct eye-bolt head. The geometry features smooth, rounded transitions typical of heavy-duty industrial rigging hardware. The model captures the robust proportions and functional aesthetic of a standard lifting shackle, with the pin oriented perpendicular to the bow. It is a singular, solid component rendered in a neutral grey finish, representing the physical form required for detailed site logistics, rigging plans, or industrial structural modelling projects.

The download is a 317 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Users can load this RFA file directly into a project as a generic model or mechanical component. It is effective for visualising site equipment, rigging setups, or structural connections in 3D construction documentation. The family can be placed on work planes or hosted within larger assemblies to represent lifting points or temporary site infrastructure.

This shackle is essential for professionals documenting construction site logistics, heavy industrial projects, or detailed structural rigging plans. It pairs well with crane models, lifting equipment, or structural steel assemblies where temporary load-bearing points must be represented. Architects and engineers might use this in site planning, civil works, or industrial facility design to indicate connection points for structural elements.
