Abstract

A shackle assembly may be used for delivering a steel structure in a construction field, the shackle assembly including a shackle body, first, second, and third shackle pins, first and second elastic means, a vertical movement mean, and a control means. Thanks to the plurality of shackle pins and the plurality of elastic means, the shackle assembly can reduce its weight and manufacturing cost. Also, in spite of the light weight and the low cost of the shackle assembly, stability and efficiency in its working can be sufficiently secured.
