Don't use shackles? Gee, all the years I have worked in weld and machine shops moving large equipment around, using chains, straps, and shackles, what would you suggest instead of shackles?

Shackles aren't the best for vehicle recovery but are essential for rigging jobs.

The video shows the correct use of the different shapes.
