Stainless Steel 316 Twist Shackle

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

We are a small, family-owned business based in Richmond, Virginia, providing 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.

Our Shackle Line: Versatile and Durable Connections

Metal shackles are the most commonly used components to connect chains or ropes, utilized in various applications such as towing, anchor lines, dock lines, and more. Shackles are classified by shape, material, size, and working load limit, with different shackle shapes serving different purposes.

Our line of shackles is made from type 316 Stainless Steel, recognized as the best-in-class material. 316 stainless steel is highly corrosion-resistant and durable, even in the harshest environments. It is often referred to as "Surgical Steel" due to its widespread use in the food handling and medical industries.

Variety of Shackle Designs to Meet Your Needs

Bow Shackle: 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 Shackle: The wider body maximizes the mounting area, making them suitable for use on mooring buoys.

Hex Pin Shackle: The hex pin design creates a non-snag surface, making them great for connecting to anchors.

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

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

US Type Bow Shackle: The larger US-type pin also allows for higher load limits, making them perfect for situations where a normal pinned bow shackle might bend.

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

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

Key Pin Shackle: The key pin design allows for quick release, making them great for situations where 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 Twist Shackle: Our 5/16" (8mm) twist shackle has a working load limit of 1,540 lbs., making it suitable for connecting gear from various rigging systems. Crafted from marine-grade 316 stainless steel, it is rust and corrosion-resistant, allowing for attachments from the side rather than the front.
