Shackles are essential hardware components used to create secure connections in lifting, rigging, and anchoring applications. Available in a variety of designs, each type of shackle offers specific benefits depending on the task. Twisted shackles are engineered for heavy-duty applications, providing enhanced load distribution and strength in challenging environments. Soft shackles offer a lightweight, flexible alternative to traditional metal shackles, made from high-strength synthetic ropes, and are ideal for applications where reducing weight or avoiding corrosion is crucial. Wide shackles feature a broader throat, allowing them to accommodate thicker ropes or cables, offering more stability and a larger surface area for load distribution. Whether for marine, construction, or industrial use, shackles ensure secure, reliable, and versatile connections for any project.
