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 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 offers exceptional performance.

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, making them 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. They are ideal for in-line loads in which a normal pin might bend.

US Type Bow Shackle: A US type pin is much larger than a normal pin, allowing for larger load limits. They are 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 be done single-handedly. They are 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.

All our products are made from Marine Grade Stainless Steel AISI 316 with a lightly polished finish, ensuring rust and corrosion resistance for a long service life.
