Shackle Bolt Bushes Plates to suit Leaf Springs widths – 45mm and 60mm
Bushes, shackle plates, and bolts can wear quickly when you’re driving on dirt and corrugated roads.
Therefore, spring bushes, shackle plates, and bolts all need servicing every 5,000 km—along with your bearings—especially if your rig is near peak load capacity.
ElectroGal Shackle Plates
Couplemate shackle plates are laser cut to provide exactly the same size hole every time.
The knurl on a shackle bolt is a perfect fit provide the holes are uniform.
Previously, common practice is to punch oversized holes into plates with a special tool. In the process of punching out holes, tool wear occurs which results in an undersized hole.
Laser cut holes overcome this problem and provide a perfect fit every time.

The Advantage of Spare Spring Parts
While it would be quite handy to carry spare caravan and trailer parts for your entire trailer, it’s simply not practical. However, we do recommend preparing for your trip by carrying spare parts for your springs.
You simply can’t go camping without checking your spring accessories, especially when you’re towing a heavy rig.
Replacing those worn spring accessories with new parts is essential to ensure happy camping.
Couplemate sells only the best quality spring bushes and shackles throughout Australia—covering Darwin, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. We also ship products via Australia Post Air to New Zealand.
