Snackles

A rigging snackle is a hardware product used to connect several parts of the rigging to each other. A rigging snackle is used to create a quick-release fastening during lifting operations or during transportation. In appearance, they are similar to a loop or a link in a chain.

Types of rigging snackles

According to the shape and structural features, the snackle is:

• straight rigging snackle;
• omega-shaped rigging snackle;
• v-shaped rigging snackle;
• snackle elongated flat;
• rotary snackle (90 degrees) and some other, less popular types

These metal products can have a nut / bolt type connection or an internal thread. In the first version, the bolt acts as a finger, in the second - the finger is twisted inside the snackle. Therefore, when choosing a form, you should take into account the number and size of the parts to be connected, as well as the method of their installation.

Since rigging products are used in various operating conditions, snackles are made, as a rule, from high-strength metals that are resistant to corrosion and other aggressive environmental influences.
