Stainless steel shackle

Ensure solid, watertight deck solutions

Stainless steel shackles include classic deck fittings and fasteners that are often overlooked in everyday life – until they are missing.

Precise dimensions, material, and clean installation are crucial here. Stainless steel is durable and corrosion-resistant, while brass and bronze are traditional and robust.

With the right choice, everything will be firmly, neatly, and permanently sealed.

Deine Fragen / Unsere Antworte

How do I know what size I need?
Measure the wire diameter of the bow on the existing shackle with calipers – this is the nominal size. Additionally, pay attention to the stated working load limit to ensure the replacement shackle matches the actual load at that point.
What is the difference between a D-shackle and an anchor shackle?
The D-shackle has a narrow, symmetrical bow and is well-suited for ropes and blocks. The anchor shackle has a wider, more rounded bow that can accommodate chain links without damaging them – making it the first choice for anchor gear and chain connections.
Do I need to secure the pin after insertion?
Yes, absolutely. Due to load changes and vibrations, an unsecured pin can come loose on its own. Thread a piece of thin rope or seizing wire through the hole in the pin and tie it around the bow – this is sufficient for reliable securing.
Can stainless steel on board still rust or seize?
Under certain conditions – such as continuous contact with saltwater without movement – stainless steel can develop contact corrosion or fretting corrosion. To keep screw pins moving freely, a little Teflon spray or petroleum jelly on the thread, applied before assembly or during the seasonal check, can help.
