Shackle Line: Connecting Your Gear with Strength and Durability

Metal shackles are the most commonly used items to connect chains or ropes, serving various purposes such as towing, anchor lines, dock lines, and more. Classified by shape, material, size, and working load limit, our line of shackles is made from type 316 stainless steel, renowned for its superior corrosion resistance and exceptional durability, even in the harshest conditions. Often referred to as "Surgical Steel," 316 stainless is the go-to grade for food handling and medical applications.

Diverse Shackle Designs for Versatile Needs

Bow Shackles: The curvature of the bow allows for loads along various angles without developing a bend, making them ideal for connecting chains 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 creates a non-snag surface, great for connecting to anchors.

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

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

US Type Bow Shackles: The larger US-type pin provides higher load limits, 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: Great for when you need to rotate gear for connection, without using two connectors.

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

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

All our stainless steel 316 shackles are corrosion-resistant, ensuring a long service life, and are precision-manufactured for smooth opening and closing. These versatile shackles can be used to connect chains, ropes, webbing, straps, and more, making them a reliable choice for a wide range of outdoor activities, including diving, boating, camping, and hiking.
