Stainless steel shackles are versatile connecting links used in various applications, particularly those requiring resistance to corrosion, such as marine, industrial lifting, rigging, and outdoor environments.
D Shackle (or Chain Shackle): A narrow "D" or U-shape.Straight-line loads (in-line tension) only. Narrower than bow shackles; improper loading (side-loading) can cause failure.
Bow Shackle (or Anchor Shackle): A wider, more rounded "O" or bow shape. Multi-directional loads (can handle some side-loading with WLL reduction). Larger bow area allows for connecting multiple slings or ropes.
