A "clevis and pin" are a type of shackle, the clevis is the U shaped part, when you have both the clevis and pin together it would form a shackle. There are many types of shackle assemblies and many of them use a clevis. If you had a lifting strap with a loop on the end you would put the clevis on the loop, secure the pin, and now the shackle would be in place. I hope this makes sense.
