INOshackle Møllerodden

Why choose INOshackle™? Hydraulic shackles are used to lift both small and large structures in subsea operations. They are preferable to manual shackles when operations take place in limited time frame or under difficult conditions, where personnel cannot easily fasten or release a shackle themselves. Traditional hydraulic shackles are large, oil-powered units, which require a lot of manpower to operate. There is also a certain risk of oil spills. To make subsea lifting easier and offshore operations less resource- intensive, operators need access to new technology. INOshackle ™ has been developed and patented by Inovatum Lifting AS and now owned by Møllerodden AS. It is the world's first water - based hydraulic shackle. It is powered only by water or air, thus eliminating all risk of oil spills! The INOshackle allows as many shackles as needed to be connected at the same stab point, meaning multiple shackles can be fastened and released instantly and simultaneously. In its standard configuration, the INOshackle is designed for lifting and positioning structures and equipment of between 25 and 150 metric tons. Custom designs, however, are also available, making possible lifts of between 7 and 3000 metric tons, or more. The INOshackle is designed and tested according to DNV’s classification for offshore and platform lifting applications, DNVGL-ST-0378. It available both for purchase and rental. The INOshackle is lightweight and small in size, enabling more nimble operations and improving safety for offshore personnel.
