I had never seen anything like this until this tower installation about
15 years ago.
I thought the bolt was bent the first time I saw it but I really think
they are made that way.
The tower is 190' with 2 sets of guys, and inner and an outer set and
all 6 shackles are this way.
A couple of years ago I ran across this same shackle somewhere on the
internet and that is when I realized they are made this way.
I wanted to find it again just to read up about it.
I have to replace 3 turnbuckles at one anchor point due to someone
hitting it with a bushhog.
I really don't know how the tower is still standing. All guy wires have
so much slack you can swing them in circles like a jump rope.
I guess Rohn 25 towers are really strong, this one is almost free
standing :).

It's not supposed to be curved, it has bent under load. It's not the
right part for the application. You could use an equalizer plate or
since you already have an anchor with space for 3 guy wires, just use
a short piece of guy wire to connect each turnbuckle to the anchor.

Not sure if the block should be curved like that. I would look at
getting an equalizer plate if possible. If this is a rohn, check

Can anyone identify this shackle?
I think I have seen it before on the internet but can't find it now.
