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.
