The Altrad Generation Quick Release Pitching Shackle is purpose-built for the safe installation of Altrad Generation Trench Sheets. A spring-loaded pin grips the trench sheet through its lifting hole, allowing your team to position the sheet precisely before releasing it safely from ground level, removing the need for operatives to work close to moving loads during sheet installation.
Available in two models, the 2T (19kg) and 3T (23kg), each shackle is stamped with its Safe Working Load for clear, on-site identification. The shackle is compatible with the full range of Altrad Generation Trench Sheet profiles, including BD500, KKD600, BVI500, and Larssen Range.
Quick Release Pitching Shackles are available for hire and purchase from Altrad Generation branches across the UK and Ireland.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a quick release pitching shackle used for?
A: A Quick Release Pitching Shackle installs Altrad Generation Trench Sheets safely. The spring-loaded pin grips the sheet through its lifting hole, allowing your team to position and drive the sheet into place before releasing it from ground level.
Q: How does the spring-loaded mechanism work?
