Padeye and shackle calculator

Subject

Padeyes are restraint or carrying lugs used for anchoring or lifting and frequently found in major construction yards. As their failure can have disastrous consequences they must be designed to exacting standards.

They are usually designed to accommodate a recognised shackle of suitable capacity; whilst the same design methods apply to both applications, larger safety factors are normally applied to lifting equipment than to anchors (e.g. seafastenings).

Padeyes sizes the padeye to fit a recognised shackle design.

The database of shackle sizes ranges from 0.33t to 1500t the important dimension of which are common to all standard Bow and Dee type designs. Whilst the shackle database includes both metric and Imperial dimensions, it does not convert one from the other, it uses the standard metric and standard Imperial dimensions.

The padeye calculator provides the minimum required material based upon a few basic inputs; i.e. applied load, pin and cheek clearances, cheek-plate thickness and maximum allowable stress. In addition to which, you select a shackle from the list; 'SWL (t):' based upon its safe working load and Padeyes will provide the unknown dimensions including the minimum weld thickness required to anchor the padeye to a suitable surface.

Padeyes may be used in conjunction with CalQlata’s Lift Rigging and Wire Rope calculators
