- the weights of the polymer based “D” shackles lies in a range of 4.2-14.2Kg compared to that of equivalent load rated steel “D” shackles having weights in the range of 25-80kg.
- the equivalent load rating is in a range of 40 to 60tonnes.
- the applicable health and safety and load regulations include AS 1333 and IS013333:1994.
- a method of preparing a tipping tray of an earth moving vehicle for retention in an inclined position for maintenance with a single operator including the steps of: the operator threads a loop at a first end of a connection line onto an opened polymer based light weight “D” shackle,

- the method includes the further steps of: securing a loop at a second end of the connection line to an attachment point or another polymer based light weight “D” shackle at a rear transaxle of the earth moving vehicle.
- weight of the polymer based light weight “D” shackle is approximately one sixth of the weight of equivalently work and safety and load regulated steel “D” shackles.
- Figure 1 is a partial view of a rear end of a earth moving truck with the safety assembly of the invention in position;
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of shackle component of the safety assembly of figure 1;
- Figure 3 to 5 illustrate a sequence of production of a flexible portion of the shackle and of the connecting line of the safety assembly of figure 1.
- a safety assembly 10 comprises at least one shackle 12 and a connecting line 14.
- the shackle 12 is coupled to a loop 16 at one end of the connecting line 14 and the shackle installed to a connection point 18 at the underside of the raised tray 20 of an earth moving vehicle 22, rearward of the transverse tilt axis 24 of the tray 20.
- a second shackle 12 is connected to a loop 26 at the other end of the connecting line 14 and the second shackle then connected to a connection point 28, typically positioned on the rear transaxle 29 of the vehicle 22.
- the loop 26 may be coupled directly to it.
- the combined length of the shackles or shackle and connecting line when taut, is such as to secure the tray 20 at the limit of its tilt and prevent it lowering unexpectedly.
- the shackle 12 is a fraction of the weight of an equivalent steel “D” shackle by virtue of its construction.
- a steel “D” shackle required to secure the 50tonne tray of a 300tonne earth moving vehicle may weigh 15kg whereas the weight of an equivalent capacity shackle of the invention weighs just 2.9kg.
- Some earth moving trucks are even larger than this ranging up to 700tonne when loaded, with the equipment to secure a tray of such a vehicle tipped in a raised position accordingly required to be much heavier.
- two sets of shackle and connecting line may be used.
- the load capacity of the safety device is rated on the force required to hold the tray with its centre of gravity over the tipping axis of the tray.
- a safety margin is added to the shackle load rating to bring the load capacity to 50 tonnes.
- load ratings for the shackle and connecting line of the invention may range from 20 to lOOtonnes.
- the shackle 12 of the invention is comprised of an assembly of braided polymer material 30 and a transverse pin 32.
- the assembly of polymer material 30 is formed by splicing together opposite ends of an initial length of braided bundles or one single loop of polymer strands together to form an initial loop 32 as shown in figures 3 and 4.
- This initial loop 32 is then stretched and the opposing longer portions of the loop drawn together and secured to lie side by side within an enveloping sheath 34 as shown in figure 5, to leave two secondary loops 36 and 38, one at each opposite outer end of the assembly 30.
- a shorter version of the assembly shown in figure 5 is now prepared by inserting a first thimble 40 into a first loop 36 secured by seizing or lashing 42 around regions of the braided polymer material extending from the first thimble 40.
- a second thimble 44 is similarly secured in the second loop 38, again by lashing 46.
- the transverse pin 32 of the shackle 12 as shown in figure 2, comprises a shaft 48 with a larger diameter head 50 at one end and a projecting threaded section 52 of smaller diameter at the opposite end.
- the first thimble 40 is a free sliding fit on the shaft 48 and in use, locates on the shaft adjacent to the head 50. In an alternative arrangement, the first thimble 40 may be an integral part of the shaft 48.
- the second thimble 44 is necessarily a sliding fit on the shaft 48 but its position is limited by an inwardly projecting rim leaving an aperture just larger than that of the threaded section 52, so that in use, the projecting rim of the second thimble 44 locates against the shoulder of the shaft at the root of the threaded section. In use, the second thimble 44 is secured in position by a threaded locking element 56 driven onto the threaded section 52.
- the connecting line 14 is of similar construction to that of the assembly of polymer material 30 of the shackle 12, but of greater length.
- the loops 16 and 26 of the connection line 14 may also be fitted with thimbles, sized to allow coupling with the shackle 12 at one end and with the connection point 28 on the vehicle transaxle at the other.
- the connection of the connection line at the transaxle may be direct but also could incorporate a second shackle, depending on the design of the connection point provided. Alternatively, since the connection point is usually within reach, a standard steel “D” shackle may be used.
- the SUD assembly of the present invention by substituting polymer technology to both the shackle and sling from the conventional 25-80kg for those in steel, drastically reduce the weight to a mere 4.2-14.2kg whilst still adhering to same relevant standards AS1333 and IS013333:1994 specifying performance and test requirements for mechanical support devices for dump truck trays. As well as the accompanying benefit of a reduction in personnel required, the enormous weight reduction allows a wider range of personnel to perform this aspect of the maintenance task.
- the tray In use, for maintenance of a large tipping earth moving vehicle which requires access to the area under the tray of the vehicle, the tray is raised to its fully tilted position, either by means of its hydraulic rams or by other means and secured in the tilted position by means of the “safety up device” or safety device 10 of the invention. While the tray is in its tipping position, an operator takes a polymer based, light weight shackle 12 according to the present invention, opens the shackle by undoing the locking element 56 from the threaded end of the pin 32 of the shackle and removing the second thimble 38. A loop of the connecting line 30 is then threaded onto the braided assembly of polymer material of the shackle. The operator then lifts the shackle to approximately shoulder height, sometimes with the help of a step ladder, and brings the first thimble into alignment with an aperture of a connection point on the underside of the tray.
