Product Description: US Stainless - Shackle Line

US Stainless is a small, family-owned business operating out of Richmond, Virginia. We offer an extensive range of AISI 316 stainless steel hardware, suitable for boats, sailing, living near the beach, or anywhere that rust and corrosion are a concern.

Metal Shackles are the most commonly used to connect chains or ropes. They can be utilized 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 highly durable, even in the harshest conditions. It is often referred to as "Surgical Steel" and is the go-to grade in Food Handling and Medicine.

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

Wide D Shackle: The wider body maximizes the mounting area, making it 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 of 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 it 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, making it 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.

All of our stainless steel 316 long D shackles are corrosion-resistant for a long service life, with quality construction and a smooth action, making them Marine Grade 316 Stainless Steel with a 3520lbs Safe Working Load.
