Improved durable design
Introducing our latest innovation: the Smart Con Link Kenter Joining Shackle. An improved durable design engineered to enhance the longevity and reliability of our products. Through precise design enhancements, we've optimized the fatigue life cycle, significantly reducing the need for replacements and associated costs.
Our approach to this design has been comprehensive, drawing upon both client feedback and the expertise of our design and production teams. By increasing the handshake area between the Irizar Forge Kenter and its adjacent parts, we've effectively reduced stress concentration levels. Resulting in improved fatigue performance for both the shackle and its surrounding components.
Easy and safe to (re)assemble
A key feature of the design of the Smart Con Link Kenter Joining Shackle is the interchangeability of the centre stud within the shackle. This extends the lifespan of the product and further minimizes replacement expenses. The Shackle will maintain its certification if the centre part is exchanged. An improvement compared to most standard Kenter Joining Shackles in the industry.
With the riggers in mind, we improved the installation process of this Shackle. No hammers or brute force are necessary due to the centre stud design. Eliminating the risk of injuries during installation, ensuring ease of use and reducing assembling time.The Smart Con Stud is totally enclosed and thread free to guarantee easy maintenance and supreme durability. Supporting a safe work environment which is extra critical on board.
The exchangeable centre part is available off the shelf, guaranteeing seamless maintenance and swift replacements as needed.
RFID chip for easy inventory control
Our Kenter Joining Shackle can be ordered with an RFID chip. Thanks to the information provided by the chip you can easily control your inventory. The Chip, produced by iTAG Solutions, gives information about the DNV certification, MPI certificate, Proof and Break load of the Shackle. The chip also contains a GPS tracker. This ensures you’ll always know where the Shackle is located.
