Multiquip EM16609 Link Shackle

The Multiquip EM16609 Link Shackle is a genuine OEM component designed for WRS5200, STXD6i, and HTXD6i series equipment. As a direct factory replacement, EM16609 delivers the exact fit and load rating required to maintain proper mechanical linkage on Whiteman ride-on roller screeds and hydrostatic ride-on power trowels. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this shackle is built to the same specification as the original hardware installed at the factory. Confirm your model against the fitment list before ordering to ensure a correct match.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Hardware Grade — Manufactured to the same load and dimensional spec as the original shackle, ensuring the mechanical connection point holds under the cyclic stress these machines produce during operation.
• Direct Bolt-In Replacement — Designed to install in the same mount points as the factory shackle, with matching pin diameter and bow geometry for a straightforward swap.
• Broad Model Coverage — Fits WRS5200, WRS5200DFPU, WRSPUDF roller screeds and HTXD6i, STXD6i hydrostatic ride-on trowels, covering multiple machine types within the Multiquip and Whiteman lineup.
• Structural Integrity Where It Counts — A worn or failed link shackle can introduce unwanted play into linkage assemblies, leading to imprecise blade pitch control on trowels or loss of drive engagement on roller screeds.
• Verified Part Number — Order with confidence using Multiquip part number EM16609, the exact OEM reference for this application.

A link shackle is a load-bearing connector used to join two mechanical elements — such as a linkage rod, chain, or cable — within a machine's drive or control system. On ride-on roller screeds and hydrostatic trowels, shackles like the EM16609 are used at articulation and connection points where controlled movement and tensile strength are both required. When a shackle stretches, cracks, or loses its pin, the linkage it holds can shift unpredictably or disconnect entirely, compromising both machine control and operator safety.
