US Stainless: Reliable Stainless Steel Hardware for Marine and Outdoor Use

We are a small, family-owned business based in Richmond, Virginia, offering an extensive range of AISI 316 stainless steel hardware suitable for boats, sailing, coastal living, and other applications where rust and corrosion are concerns.

Our Shackle Line Metal shackles are the most commonly used connectors for chains or ropes, serving various purposes such as towing, anchor lines, dock lines, and more. Shackles are classified by their shape, material, size, and working load limit, with different types suited for different applications.

Our shackles are made from type 316 stainless steel, which is considered the best-in-class material for its corrosion resistance and durability even in the harshest conditions. 316 stainless steel is often referred to as "surgical steel" due to its widespread use in the food handling and medical industries.

Types of Stainless Steel Shackles Bow Shackles: The curvature of the bow allows for loads along various angles without developing a bend, making them ideal for connecting chain to anchors.

Wide D Shackles: The wider body maximizes the mounting area, making them well-suited for use on mooring buoys.

Hex Pin Shackles: The hex pin creates a non-snag surface, making them great for connecting to anchors.

Anti-Off Shackles: The safety pin prevents the shackle from unlocking, making them ideal for permanent connections.

US Type D Shackles: The larger US-style pin allows for larger load limits, making them suitable for in-line loads where a normal pin might bend.

US Type Bow Shackles: The larger US-style pin also allows for larger load limits, making them perfect for situations where a normal pinned bow shackle might bend.

Long D Shackles: The longer body allows for a greater weight-to-strength ratio.

Twist Shackles: These are great for when you need to rotate gear for connection, without using two connectors.

Key Pin Shackles: The key pin allows for quick release, often single-handed, making them suitable for situations where the shackle must be undone frequently.

D Shackles: The shape and curvature make them ideal for inline loads, though they should not be side-loaded as this can cause bending.

All our stainless steel shackles are marine-grade 316, corrosion, and rust-resistant, ensuring a long service life. They are quality-constructed for smooth action and have a safe working load of 5,000 lbs.
