​LiftEx 2026 Preview: What to Check Before Ordering G209 Screw Pin Bow Shackles

LiftEx 2026 Preview: What to Check Before Ordering G209 Screw Pin Bow Shackles

12 November 2026 | Industry News

LiftEx 2026, the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association’s annual exhibition, is scheduled for 24–25 November at Exhibition Centre Liverpool. The [official showcase programme]includes live demonstrations on lifting equipment traceability and talks on inspection. For distributors and procurement teams sourcing shackles, those topics raise a practical question: what information should come with the hardware you order?

Start with the size chart and dimensional drawing

If your purchase list includes a G209 screw pin bow shackle, compare the nominal size and working load limit (WLL) in the supplier’s table. Check the pin diameter and body opening against the mating component drawing, especially when sourcing a replacement for an existing assembly. If you only have an old part number or a drawing, include it in your inquiry so the supplier can check the dimensions.

Xiangsheng’s [G209 screw pin bow shackle size chart and specifications]list nominal sizes, WLL by size, and dimensions in millimetres. The product page also lists finish options, including hot-dip galvanizing and electro-galvanizing. Specify the finish when requesting a quote so suppliers can price the same configuration.

 Agree on markings and documentation before ordering

If your receiving team needs to link each delivery to a batch or inspection record, state the marking and documentation requirements in the RFQ. Ask which product markings will appear on the supplied items and which records can be provided for the quoted configuration. Agree on this before placing the order so your receiving team knows what to check when the shipment arrives.

Compare G209 sizes and request a quote
