Per ASME B30.26, each new shackle body shall be marked to show which items listed below?

• A. Manufacturer name
• B. Rated load
• C. Size
• D. ALL OF THE ABOVE

Answer: (D)

Marks on a new shackle body must convey who made it, what its safe load is, and its size, so users can identify, inspect, and use it safely. The manufacturer name lets you trace the part for quality or recall issues. The rated load tells you the maximum working load the shackle is designed to support, preventing overloading that could lead to failure. The size indicates the shackle’s physical dimensions and capacity class, ensuring the right fit with other rigging components and the correct load-carrying capability. When all three are marked, you have complete, actionable identification at the point of use, which is why all of the above must be shown.
