Our Shackle Line: Built to Withstand the Toughest Conditions

Metal shackles are the most commonly used components to connect chains or ropes, and they find applications in towing, anchor lines, dock lines, and more. Shackles are classified by their shape, material, size, and working load limit. While various shackle shapes serve different purposes, our line of shackles is made from Type 316 Stainless Steel, considered by many to be the best-in-class material.

316 Stainless Steel: Corrosion-Resistant and Durable 316 stainless steel, often referred to as "Surgical Steel," is highly corrosion-resistant and durable, making it the go-to grade for applications in the marine, diving, and chemically harsh environments.

Bow Shackles: Versatile Load-Bearing Connections The curvature of a bow shackle allows for loads along various angles without developing a bend, making it a popular choice for connecting chains to anchors.

Wide D Shackles: Maximizing Mounting Area The wider body of a Wide D Shackle maximizes the mounting area, making it an ideal choice for use on mooring buoys.

Hex Pin Shackles: Avoiding Snag Hazards Hex pin shackles create a non-snag surface, making them great for connecting to anchors.

Anti-Off Shackles: Secure Permanent Connections The safety pin on anti-off shackles prevents unlocking, making them ideal for permanent connections where the shackle must not come undone.

US Type D and Bow Shackles: Increased Load Limits The US-type pin on these shackles is much larger than a standard pin, allowing for higher load limits, making them perfect for in-line loads where a normal pin might bend.

Long D Shackles: Enhanced Strength-to-Weight Ratio The longer body of a Long D Shackle allows for a greater weight-to-strength ratio.

Twist Shackles: Rotating Gear with Ease Twist shackles are great for situations where you need to rotate gear for connection, without the need for two separate connectors.

Key Pin Shackles: Quick and Easy Release Key pin shackles allow for a quick, single-handed release, making them ideal for situations where the shackle must be undone frequently.

D Shackles: Optimal for Inline Loads The shape and curvature of D shackles make them ideal for inline loads, but they should not be side-loaded, as this can cause bending.

All our stainless steel shackles are made from high-quality 316 Stainless Steel, ensuring corrosion and rust resistance for a long service life, with a smooth, quality construction that can handle the toughest marine environments.
