What Are ROV Shackles?
ROV shackles are specialized lifting shackles designed for subsea operations, allowing remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to connect and release rigging hardware underwater.
Who This Is For
- Offshore oil & gas operators
- Subsea construction teams
- Marine and salvage contractors
Why It Matters
Deepwater subsea lifting environments are complex, high-risk, and inaccessible to diving operations. The right ROV shackle ensures:
- Safe subsea operations
- Efficient installation and retrieval when necessary
- Reduced downtime and operational risk
Types of ROV Shackles (Materials & Options)
Crosby G-2100 / G-2110 ROV Shackles
Engineered for reliable release and retrieval, G-2100 features a quick-thread bolt, while G-2110 uses a non-threaded bolt design.
Crosby G-209R ROV Shackle
A forged steel anchor shackle with high visibility and capacities suited for offshore subsea lifting operations.
Green Pin Tapered Pin ROV Shackle with D Handle
Designed for release and retrieval operations with a tapered pin and D handle for reliable ROV manipulation.
Green Pin Tapered Pin ROV Shackle with F Handle
Features a fishtail (F) handle for alternative ROV grip configurations while maintaining efficient subsea alignment.
Green Pin Spring Pin ROV Shackle
Uses a spring pin mechanism to maintain connection security while allowing controlled release during subsea operations.
Green Pin Locking Clamp ROV Shackle
Equipped with a locking clamp system to provide enhanced pin security for critical offshore lifts.
Green Pin Guided Pin ROV Shackle with D Handle
Includes a guiding tube to improve pin alignment and installation efficiency, paired with a D handle for ROV operation.
Green Pin Guided Pin ROV Shackle with F Handle
Combines guided pin alignment with a fishtail handle for alternative ROV handling in subsea environments.
Green Pin Locking Clamp ROV Sling Shackle
Specifically designed for sling-based subsea lifting with a secure locking clamp mechanism.
ROV Shackle Applications
ROV shackles are purpose-built for subsea lifting environments where safety, control, and reliability are critical. If your operation involves any of the scenarios below, it’s a strong indicator that standard shackles are not sufficient.
Operational & Safety Indicators
- Subsea installation or retrieval: Offshore or deepwater projects where loads must be deployed or recovered without diver involvement
- ROV release requirements: You need to attach or release rigging using ROV manipulators at the seabed
- Need for secure locking: Critical lifts require enhanced locking mechanisms to prevent accidental release underwater. Shackles vs hooks provide more stability and security through the splash zone
- Eliminating loose components: Subsea environments demand captive designs that prevent loss of nuts, bolts, or pins
