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

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

Metal Shackles: The Most Commonly Used Connectors

Shackles are the most commonly used devices to connect chains or ropes, and they can be used in towing, anchor lines, dock lines, and more. Classified by shape, material, size, and working load limit, shackles come in various types, and different shapes are used for different reasons.

Our Shackle Line: Crafted from Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel

Our line of shackles is made from type 316 stainless steel, considered by many to be the best in class. 316 stainless steel is corrosion-resistant and highly durable, even in the harshest conditions. Commonly referred to as "Surgical Steel," this grade is the go-to choice for food handling and medical applications.

Bow Shackle: Versatile and Ideal for Anchoring

The curvature of the bow allows for loads along various angles without developing a bend, making bow shackles often used to connect chain to anchors.

Wide D Shackle: Maximizing Mounting Area for Mooring Buoys

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

Hex Pin Shackle: Preventing Snagging

Hex pin shackles create a non-snag surface, making them great for connecting to anchors.

Anti-Off Shackle: Secure Permanent Connections

The safety pin of the Anti-Off Shackle prevents unlocking in situations that may cause a threaded pin to come undone, making it ideal for permanent connections.

US Type D Shackle: Handling Larger Loads

The larger US-type pin of the US Type D Shackle allows for higher load limits, making it ideal for in-line loads in which a normal pin might bend.

US Type Bow Shackle: Stronger and More Durable

Similar to the US Type D Shackle, the larger US-type pin of the US Type Bow Shackle allows for higher load limits, making it perfect for situations in which a normal pinned bow shackle might bend.

Long D Shackle: Greater Weight-to-Strength Ratio

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

Twist Shackle: Rotating Gear with a Single Connector

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

Key Pin Shackle: Quick Release and Single-Handed Operation

Key pin shackles allow for a quick release and can also be operated single-handedly, making them great for situations in which the shackle must be undone frequently.

D Shackle: Ideal for In-Line Loads

The shape and curvature of the D Shackle make it ideal for in-line loads, but it should not be side-loaded, as this can cause bending.

Stainless Steel 316: Corrosion and Rust Resistant for Long Service Life

All our shackles are made from high-quality, marine-grade 316 stainless steel, ensuring a long service life and smooth operation, even in corrosive and harsh environments.
