Oversized 316 Stainless Steel Anchor Shackle

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

Metal Shackles are the most commonly used to connect chains or ropes. They can be used in towing, anchor lines, dock lines, and more. Shackles are classified by shape, material, size, and working load limit. There are many types of shackles, and different shackle shapes are used over others for various reasons. Our line of shackles is made from type 316 Stainless Steel, considered by many to be the best in class. 316 stainless is corrosion-resistant and very durable even in the harshest conditions. 316 Stainless is often called "Surgical Steel," as it is the go-to grade in Food Handling and Medicine.

Ideal for marine use, diving, and chemically harsh environments, our Marine Grade Stainless hardware is built to last. The curvature of the Bow Shackle's bow allows for loads along various angles without developing a bend, making it often used to connect chain to anchors. The wider body of the Wide D Shackle maximizes the mounting area, making it ideal for use on mooring buoys. Hex Pin Shackles create a non-snag surface, great for connecting to anchors. The safety pin of the Anti-Off Shackle prevents unlocking in situations that may cause a threaded pin to come undone, making them ideal for permanent connections.

The US Type D Shackle's larger pin allows for larger load limits, making it ideal for in-line loads in which a normal pin might bend. The US Type Bow Shackle's larger pin also allows for larger load limits, making it perfect for situations in which a normal pinned bow shackle might bend. The longer body of the Long D Shackle allows for a greater weight-to-strength ratio. The Twist Shackle is great for when you need to rotate gear for connection, yet don't want to use two connectors. Key pin shackles allow for a quick release and can be done single-handed, making them great for situations in which the shackle must be undone often.

Our Stainless Steel (316) Anchor Shackle 5/16" (8mm) Oversized Bolt Pin Forged US Type Marine Grade offers an 8550lbs Breaking Load, with a pin diameter of 3/8" and a body diameter of 5/16". Crafted from Marine Grade 316 Stainless Steel, it is rust and corrosion-resistant for a long service life.
