Strength of couplings
Posted: Tue Jun 29, 2021 5:27 pm
Does anyone know how strong our couplings are, or how strong they should be?
I've just been testing some shackles which started to distort at about 380lbs. They distorted more with greater load, but held 540lbs which is when I ran out of bags of cement. The eyes showed no damage or distortion.
Any thoughts?
