Steven Hong, Chairman of Yoke said “In the current economic climate companies are challenging their procurement processes to review costs versus specification, they are seeking new partners who can provide products with competitive costs without sacrificing quality. You cannot continue to do the same things and expect different results. The whole industry is taking this moment to review its procurement strategies. This has led Yoke to be met with increased demands for our heavy lift products, crystallizing our NPD process to ensure we get the key products to market at the right time. End users have long recognized the strength of the Yoke brand, and are increasingly looking to us to further invest in our production capabilities for higher WLL products. This is the start of a new era of Yoke heavy lift rigging products.”
The Heavy Lift shackles DA838 (Grade 6) and DA808 (Grade 8) are closed die forgings, ensuring you receive the performance characteristics and clear embossed markings demanded, for ease of identification for years to come. These markings have become the rigger’s choice, and offer you the assurance you need from a forged shackle. Yoke DA heavy lift shackles also exceed the requirements of the European Standard (EN13889), USA Federal Specifications (RR-C-271F Type IVA Grade A and Grade B, Class 3) and other international and national standards. Many end users now insist on Yoke close die forged shackles over casting and upset shackles.
Traceability from the raw material, through the production process to the finished product. Yoke DA shackles are clearly embossed with the Yoke brand, WLL, size, traceability code, grade and CE mark. The bolts are also clearly embossed with the Yoke logo, traceability code and grade. Each shackle is hot dipped galvanized to ensure performance in the harshest conditions.
