According to the table at the bottom of the document, it's small shackle, 1500lb WLL... doubt anyone is using that here for much..

Unmarked counterfeit shackles is globally rampant in the lifting/rigging industry.
Though it's an extreme safety issue, it doesn't get much attention due to people are more interested in stopping counterfeit electronics.

"unmarked".
you're a fool to buy something unmarked.
not you personally, you know what i mean.

I have a design for an event I'm working on in a 50'x130' space, with 300 attendees.
We're putting about 250' of truss in the air above them from 12 points, and hanging lights & projectors and whatnot on the truss.
A failed shackle would be ungood.


What do you call a rigger who drops something?
A stagehand.

Just to point out, they aren't unmarked, just missing one mark on the back side. The WLL rating is still stamped on them. Very easy to miss the one on the back, esp if you aren't looking for it.
