Abstract
A shackle assembly used for lifting an object includes clevis members that each mount to a pin, and are moveable about the pin and into orientations for attachment to the object. Each clevis member includes a main body with an opening that receives the pin. A set of spaced apart and parallel legs project from the main body in a direction away from the pin. Spherical bearings are set between the pin and each main body that enable each clevis member to move with multiple degrees of freedom about the pin. Fasteners project between the free ends of each set of legs, and which are for engaging the object.
