JCB Loader/Backhoe Hoisting Capabilities
JCB loader/backhoe allows hoisting of loads using the hook attachment as per the enclosed document (JCB Backhoe Loader page #8 Tipping link/Lifting hook).
Question on Using Certified Shackle
My question was: Can we use a certified shackle instead of the hook attachment to hoist a load on a JCB? (See the attached document - Using Certified Shackle on JCB - Sample).
Clarification on JCB Manual
In the JCB manual, it clearly states (see attached document page #8): "Enabling machine to crane or lift materials, such as piping and girders. 1-tonne or 2-tonne lifting hooks available." Is there any specific reason why they mentioned only "hooks" in this manual instead of shackles/hooks?
If you can provide any written documents that say we can use a shackle, it will solve our issue. I am sure there is a specific technical reason behind that.
Communication with JCB Manufacturer
Note: On the 30th of last month, I sent this query to the JCB manufacturer but haven't received any response yet. Two days ago, I sent an email to the JCB manufacturer's headquarters in England, but still no response. I spoke to the representatives in England, but I haven't had a chance to chat with a tech rep from JCB on this matter (only dealer numbers are available on the website – nowhere can I find a tech rep's number or email on the website).
If you can find the written answer, it will be a great help for me.

Discussion with JCB Global on Rigging Techniques
I was able to speak with a contact at JCB Global (UK) and discussed the use of clevises or shackles. He confirmed that the use of such attachments is a common rigging technique. JCB has attached the "Lifting" section from their guidance manual as confirmation that this is a standard practice. Happy to share with our team.
