A shackle assembly comprises a shackle body, a shackle pin and a pin displacement mechanism for moving the shackle pin along its centreline between a shackle closed position and a shackle open position. The pin displacement mechanism comprises a rotation element which is mounted to the shackle body and rotatable with respect to the shackle body about an axis of rotation which extends perpendicularly to the centreline of the shackle pin and a transmission between the rotation element and the shackle pin for transmitting a rotation of the rotation element to a displacement of the shackle pin along its centreline.
