Clevis & Rigging Hardware Forging Specialists
Shivam Forge is a leading clevis forging manufacturer in India producing forged clevis pins, clevis brackets, jaw ends, rod-end clevis, D-shackles, and rigging hardware in EN8, EN24, and SS 316 from Shapar GIDC, Rajkot. ISO 9001:2015 certified. WLL-rated on request. Export to UK, UAE, Germany, and Australia.
A clevis is only as strong as its forging. In towing, lifting, agricultural, and construction applications, the clevis pin and bracket assembly is a critical load-bearing joint — it must withstand dynamic shock loads, side loading, and corrosive environments without permanent deformation or brittle fracture. Shivam Forge manufactures clevis forgings and complete rigging hardware sets using closed-die forging processes in EN8, EN24, SS 304, and SS 316, producing components with the grain flow continuity and dimensional precision that safety-critical applications demand.
Standard U-shaped clevis with two parallel ears drilled for a clevis pin. Produced in EN8 and EN24 in sizes from M12 to M80 pin diameter. Pin hole bores machined to H7 tolerance for smooth pin insertion and reliable load transfer. Used extensively in agricultural implement hitches, trailer towing, and mechanical linkages.
Heavy-duty towing clevis forgings for truck and tractor drawbars, rated at 10–80 tonnes WLL depending on material grade and pin size. Forged in EN24 and 42CrMo4 for high tensile applications. The tow clevis ear geometry is forged with radiused inner corners — no sharp stress risers at the critical section near the pin bore.
Internally threaded jaw-end fittings for use with turnbuckles, tension rods, and rigging screws. Forged in EN8 and SS 316, threaded M16 to M64. The jaw fork is forged as one piece — no welding at the eye-to-shank transition. Proof-load tested to 2x WLL where required, with test certificates issued.
Hydraulic cylinder rod-end clevis forgings for agricultural tractors, construction machinery, and industrial hydraulic actuators. The clevis pin bore is precision-machined with a lubricating groove and standard fit for clevis pin. Forged in EN24 and C45 to withstand combined bending and shear from off-center hydraulic loads.
Bow shackles (omega shackles), D-shackles (straight shackles), and chain connector rings forged in EN24 and Grade S alloy steel. Screw pin and bolt-nut type supplied. Sizes from 3/8-inch to 4-inch pin diameter, WLL 1 tonne to 35 tonnes. Galvanized, hot-dip zinc coated, or stainless finish available.
We manufacture clevis brackets, anchor plates, pin retainer designs, and custom lifting hardware from customer drawings or samples. If you have an existing cast clevis that fails in service, we can reverse-engineer it as a forged component — stronger, more reliable, and often lighter due to optimized wall sections.
Forged eye bolts in Grade 4 and Grade 8 in metric sizes M12 to M64. Swivel eye bolts, shoulder pattern eye bolts, and collar eye bolts produced to DIN 580 and BS 4278. Eye bolts forged with integral head — the eye is not welded on — ensuring full strength under angular loading of up to 45 degrees from vertical.
Shortening clutch hooks, grab hooks, and slip hooks forged in Grade 8 alloy steel and stainless steel for chain slings, lifting assemblies, and lashing systems. Latch-type safety hooks forged with integrated latch boss — latch is a machined addition, not welded. WLL 1–25 tonnes per hook size.
Turnbuckle bodies forged in EN8 and mild steel for rigging screws used in marine, construction, and agricultural fencing applications. Right-hand and left-hand threaded jaw or hook ends. Closed-die forged barrel body eliminates the seam-weld failure point common in fabricated turnbuckle barrels.
Pelican hooks, cargo lashing hooks, and container twist lock pins forged in EN24 for shipping, military logistics, and heavy transport tie-down applications. The Pelican hook cam locking mechanism is machined from the forged body blank — one piece for maximum reliability.
Forged anchor plates, ring bolts, and floor tie-down points for trailer floors, cargo aircraft, and military vehicle outfitting. Forged in IS 2062 and EN24 as required by the load rating. Through-bolted installation flanges with recessed bolt heads forged integral to the anchor plate.
Master links, intermediate links, swivel links, and connecting links forged in Grade 10 alloy steel for overhead lifting chains. Drop-forged and quenched-and-tempered to ASME B30.9 equivalent mechanical properties. Surface hardness 360–440 HB, with certified elongation minimum 15%.
Three-point hitch clevis links, top link pins, drawbar clevis, and implement connection pins for tractors, trailers, and towed implements. Agricultural clevis forgings must survive shock loads from ground engagement — forged EN8 and EN24 components in this application regularly outlast cast or fabricated alternatives by 3–5 seasons.
Tower crane rigging shackles, sling hooks, lifting beam clevis pins, and gin block side plates forged in Grade S and Grade 8 alloy steel. Construction site rigging hardware is subject to daily inspection — forged components show no internal defects that might pass visual inspection but fail under load.
Certified subsea shackles, ROV handling slings, pipeline pulling heads, and anchor chain swivels forged in EN24 and Duplex stainless steel for offshore lifting operations. Third-party inspection, material certificates to EN 10204 3.2, and NACE compliance available.
Anchor shackles, chain connecting links, mooring clevis, and deck fitting anchors forged in SS 316 and galvanized EN24 for marine vessel fittings. Marine grade clevis forgings resist salt spray corrosion and maintain dimensional integrity in cyclic wave loading environments.
Dragline chain clevis, rope attachment clevis, bucket lip pins, and cable thimbles forged in SAE 4340 and EN24 for the extreme shock loads of dragline and shovel operations. Mining clevis forgings typically see impact loading 3–5x the rated WLL — robust forged construction is non-negotiable.
Recovery vehicle tow clevis, artillery trail pins, ammunition handling hooks, and equipment tie-down fittings forged to MIL-SPEC requirements in EN24 and 4340 alloy steel. Military clients require traceability from heat number to finished component — our quality system is built to support this.
Shivam Forge has been manufacturing forged clevis fittings, shackles, hooks, and rigging hardware from Rajkot for over 20 years, supplying agricultural equipment manufacturers, construction companies, lifting gear distributors, and offshore operators across India and in export markets including the UK, UAE, Germany, and Australia. Our clevis forgings are produced in closed dies at our Shapar GIDC plant from EN8, EN24, SAE 4140, and stainless steel grades, with all critical dimensions — pin bore diameter, ear spacing, and thread engagement length — verified before dispatch.
The structural argument for forged clevis components over cast or fabricated alternatives is particularly strong in the towing and lifting sectors. A U-shaped clevis ear concentrates bending stress at the root of the ear section — a location where casting porosity or fabrication weld toes are catastrophic. Forged clevis components from Shivam Forge have continuous metallic grain flow wrapping around the pin bore, distributing load across the full cross-section. Our customers in the agricultural tractor implements sector consistently report that replacing cast clevis components with EN24 forgings reduces in-season failure rates by 60–80%, dramatically cutting warranty service costs.
Our clevis forging product range covers the full spectrum of rigging and coupling hardware — from simple M12 jaw ends for light agricultural linkages to M80 heavy tow clevis rated at 80 tonnes WLL for heavy equipment recovery vehicles. Jaw-end turnbuckle fittings, swivel shackles, connecting links, grab hooks, and pelican hooks are all produced as one-piece forgings, not fabricated assemblies. For offshore and marine applications, we supply SS 316 clevis and shackle forgings with EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 material test certification and proof-load test records, meeting the documentation requirements of DNV GL and Lloyd's Register lifting equipment standards.
Export customers value Shivam Forge's clevis forgings for a specific combination of capabilities: competitive price versus European or American sources, ISO 9001:2015 quality management, documentation that meets international standards, and the flexibility to accommodate custom dimensions and WLL ratings without minimum order penalties typically associated with European forging suppliers. Sea freight to UK and European ports from Mundra (our nearest major port) runs 22–26 days, making stock planning straightforward for distributors maintaining UK or Gulf warehouse inventory.

A clevis is a U-shaped connecting bracket with pin holes used to link two components, especially in towing, lifting, and mechanical linkage applications. Forged clevis components have continuous grain flow through the ear section around the pin bore — the highest stress point in the assembly. Cast clevis components have random grain structure and can contain microporosity at this critical section, leading to brittle fracture under dynamic loads. Forging consistently delivers 30–50% higher fatigue life in clevis ear sections versus equivalent castings.
Clevis forging prices depend on material grade (EN8, EN24, stainless), pin size (M12–M80), quantity, WLL certification requirements, and surface finish (plain, galvanized, zinc-plated).
