Hi everyone just wondering for D rings what is a good thickness or what should I be looking for to know I have a strong D ring? Does anyone know how much I can pull in weight with the ones I have? I'm about to paint them.

Stamped on them it reads:

WLL 43/4T CE 3/4

Does that mean 3/4" and 4 ton???

Thanks

 

Working Load Limit 4¾ Tons, Size ¾"
The CE stands for "Conformité Européenne", which means it meets certain requirements to be sold in the European Economic Area.
You have to be careful, though. Some are cheaply made, and rated/labeled fraudulently.

 

If it doesn't say made in the USA, Canada, Holland, France, Italy, or Japan stay away from them. I've see Chinese shackles fail at half the stated rating

 

Very true. We do a lot of rigging mostly over people and anything that says Made in China gets cut up with a grinder then pitched. If you want guaranteed quality get Chicago shackles.

 

Van Beest or Crosby can't go wrong!

 

Ok thanks to all.... Mine came with my Rugged Ridge bumper which I believe are made in China.... the bumper do I guess the D rings are too. I have them for looks 4 now.

Ok how much$$$ are some of these brands you guys mentioned? And where do you buy? Can you get them on Ebay?

 

Personally a chain or cable will break before a d-ring will I drill wells for a living and have pulled one out with d-rings that size and my rig is 60,000 pounds they are way stronger than there ratings

 

I get mine from work so don't know how much but you can order them through Crosby. com

 

Crosby shackles are 4 to 1 breaking strength. I have a endless strap that is rated for 22,000 and it has a breaking strength of 5 to 1 which is around 100,000. I can break someones frame with it

 

Cool thanks looking at some on Ebay liking the yellow ones matches my Pittsburgh Steeler theme lol

But is 35 ton 1 5/8 " will that fit ??
