Product Description: US Stainless – A Family-Owned Business in Richmond, Virginia

Shackle Line

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.

Marine Grade Stainless

Our stainless steel hardware is ideal for marine use, diving, and chemically harsh environments.

Bow Shackle The curvature of the bow allows for loads along various angles without developing a bend. They are often used to connect chain to anchors.

Wide D Shackle The wider body maximizes the mounting area, making them ideal for use on mooring buoys.

Hex Pin Shackle Hex pin shackles create a non-snag surface and are great for connecting to anchors.

Anti-Off Shackle The safety pin on anti-off shackles makes them ideal for permanent connections, as it prevents unlocking in situations that may cause a threaded pin to come undone.

US Type D Shackle The US type pin is much larger, allowing for larger load limits, making them ideal for in-line loads in which a normal pin might bend.

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

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

Twist Shackle Great for when you need to rotate gear for connection, yet don't want to use two connectors.

Key Pin Shackle Key pin shackles allow for a quick release and can also be done single-handed, making them great for situations in which the shackle must be undone often.

D Shackle The shape and curvature make D shackles ideal for inline loads, but they should not be side-loaded as this can cause bending.

Stainless Steel 316 Bow Shackle Ideal for anchor chain and rodes, these shackles are forged for greater strength and reliability. The flush sink pin helps prevent snagging, making them suitable for use where snagging may be an issue. The Marine Grade 316 Stainless Steel ensures rust and corrosion resistance for a long service life.
