Stainless Steel 316 Forged Bow Shackle 1/2 (12mm) Marine Grade

US Stainless: High-Quality Stainless Steel Hardware for Marine and Outdoor Applications

As a small, family-owned business based in Richmond, Virginia, we take pride in offering an extensive range of AISI 316 stainless steel hardware. This durable and corrosion-resistant material makes our products ideal for use on boats, near the beach, or in any environment where rust and corrosion are a concern.

Our shackle line is a prime example of our commitment to quality. Metal shackles are the most commonly used fittings for connecting 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, with different types suited for various purposes.

At US Stainless, our shackles are made from type 316 stainless steel, which is considered the best in class for marine and chemical environments. Often referred to as "surgical steel," 316 stainless is highly corrosion-resistant and exceptionally durable, even in the harshest conditions.

Our product range includes several specialized shackle designs, each with its own unique features and applications:

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 perfect for use on mooring buoys.

Hex Pin Shackles: The hex pin design 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 and Bow Shackles: Featuring a much larger pin than standard shackles, these variants can handle heavier loads and are perfect for in-line applications where a normal pin might bend.

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

Twist Shackles: Designed for situations where you need to rotate gear for connection, yet don't want to use two connectors.

Key Pin Shackles: The quick-release key pin makes them great for applications where the shackle must be undone frequently.

As an example of our high-quality offerings, our Stainless Steel 316 Bow Shackle (1/2" or 12mm) has a working load limit of 3,410 lbs. Forged for greater strength and reliability, this shackle is an excellent choice for anchor chain and rodes, thanks to its marine-grade 316 stainless steel construction and resistance to rust and corrosion.
