A Small, Family-Owned Business with High-Quality Stainless Steel Hardware

We are a small, family-owned business operating out of Richmond, Virginia, offering an extensive range of AISI 316 stainless steel hardware suitable for boats, sailing, living near the beach, or anywhere that rust and corrosion is a concern.

US Stainless: Shackle Line

Metal shackles are the most commonly used items to connect chains or ropes, and they can be utilized in towing, anchor lines, dock lines, and more. Shackles are classified by shape, material, size, and working load limit, and different shackle shapes are used for various reasons.

Our line of shackles is made from type 316 Stainless Steel, widely considered the best in the industry. 316 stainless is highly corrosion-resistant and exceptionally durable, even in the harshest conditions. It is often referred to as "Surgical Steel" due to its widespread use in food handling and medical applications.

Marine-Grade Stainless Steel: Ideal for Harsh Environments

Our stainless steel hardware is ideal for marine use, diving, and chemically harsh environments, providing exceptional corrosion resistance and long-lasting performance.

Bow Shackle: Versatile Load Distribution The curvature of the bow allows for loads along various angles without developing a bend, making it a popular choice for connecting chains to anchors.

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

Hex Pin Shackle: Non-Snag Surface Hex pin shackles create a non-snag surface, making them great for connecting to anchors.

Anti-Off Shackle: Secure Connections The safety pin of the Anti-Off Shackle prevents unlocking in situations that may cause a threaded pin to come undone, making it ideal for permanent connections.

US Type D Shackle: Larger Load Limits The US type pin is much larger than a standard pin, allowing for larger load limits, making it ideal for in-line loads in which a normal pin might bend.

US Type Bow Shackle: Enhanced Strength The US type pin is much larger than a normal pin, allowing for larger load limits, making it perfect for situations in which a normal pinned bow shackle might bend.

Long D Shackle: Greater Weight-to-Strength Ratio The longer body of the Long D Shackle allows for a greater weight-to-strength ratio, providing enhanced durability.

Twist Shackle: Rotating Gear Connections The Twist Shackle is great for when you need to rotate gear for connection, yet don't want to use two separate connectors.

Key Pin Shackle: Quick Release Key pin shackles allow for a quick release and can be operated single-handedly, making them ideal for situations in which the shackle must be undone frequently.

D Shackle: Ideal for Inline Loads The shape and curvature of the D Shackle make it ideal for inline loads, but it should not be side-loaded, as this can cause bending.

All of our stainless steel hardware is made from corrosion-resistant 316 Stainless Steel, ensuring a long service life and quality construction with smooth action.
