About Shackle Rentals
In heavy industrial and offshore lifting, purchasing high-capacity rigging hardware for a single project is rarely cost-effective. Wide-body shackles exceeding 500 tons represent a massive capital investment. Holloway Houston Inc. (HHI) solves this by maintaining one of the world's largest rental fleets of heavy-lift shackles.
Choosing to rent removes the long-term investment, storage, and mandatory recertification costs of ownership. Whether you are lifting an offshore jacket, tensioning a subsea mooring line, or performing a heavy module loadout, our hardware is MPI-tested, certified, and ready for immediate deployment. Headquartered at 5833 Armour Dr, Houston, TX 77020, we back every rental with over 65 years of rigging expertise.
Specialized Rental Shackle Options
Holloway Houston stocks rigging shackles designed for the most extreme industrial applications.
Wide Body Shackles (Up to 1,750T)
Featuring an increased bow radius, these shackles are designed specifically to improve the D/d ratio for synthetic heavy-lift slings and large wire rope, preventing sling damage under extreme tension.
ROV Shackles
Specifically modified for subsea use, these shackles (like the Crosby G-209R) are designed to be manipulated by Remotely Operated Vehicles in deepwater offshore environments.
Alloy Bolt-Type Anchor Shackles
Designed for permanent or long-term installations, or lifts where the load may slide on the shackle pin causing it to rotate

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the largest shackle I can rent?
Our rental fleet includes massive Green Pin wide-body shackles with Working Load Limits up to 1,750 Tons.
Do you rent ROV shackles for subsea work?
Yes. We stock Crosby G-209R ROV shackles in capacities from 12T to 55T, specially designed for subsea manipulation.
Why should I use a wide-body shackle instead of a standard shackle?
Wide-body shackles have a larger surface area in the bow. This significantly improves the bend radius (D/d ratio) for large wire rope and synthetic round slings, preventing the sling from losing capacity or breaking under tension.
Can I rent shackles for a long-term offshore project?
Absolutely. We offer flexible daily, weekly, monthly, and project-based rental terms tailored to the duration of your operation.
Are your rental shackles certified?
Yes. Every shackle is visually inspected, and high-capacity models undergo Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI). All hardware is shipped with current certification documentation.
