What This Product Is For
European bow type shackle in AISI 304 and AISI 316 stainless steel, forged in one piece with a screw pin and a polished finish. The wide bow accepts multi-leg slings and angled loads, which is why it is used on sailboat rigging and on deck equipment exposed to spray. Every piece is inspected before delivery.

Key Benefits
- AISI 316 option resists pitting in permanent saltwater exposure so shackles do not stain deck hardware
- One-piece forging carries load without the bending seen in fabricated bodies
- Bow shape takes multi-leg and angled loads that a dee shackle would side load
- 100% inspection before delivery removes the sorting work at goods-in
Problems It Solves
- Plated carbon steel shackles rust and mark stainless deck fittings
- Dee shackles side load when more than one sling leg is attached
- Mixed quality imports arrive needing 100% incoming inspection
Application Scenarios
- Sailboat standing and running rigging connections
- Marine deck fittings and lifeline terminations
- Industrial lifting assemblies where corrosion resistance is required
- Multi-leg sling collection points
Who It Is For
- Rigging shops assembling stainless steel slings and lifelines
- Marine hardware distributors serving European specifications
- Boatyards fitting out sailing yachts and workboats
Technical Features
- Material AISI 316 and AISI 304 stainless steel

How It Compares With The Alternatives
Compared with European dee type shackle
The bow opening takes multi-leg and angled loads, while the dee body is intended for straight in-line pull
Compared with Galvanized carbon steel bow shackle
Stainless keeps its finish in spray and needs no re-galvanizing, at a higher piece price
How To Use And Maintain It
- Choose 316 for permanent saltwater exposure and 304 for sheltered or industrial use
- Seat the screw pin fully before loading and check it has not backed out during service
- Keep the load in the plane of the bow rather than across the pin
- Do not mix stainless shackles with galvanized components in wet service
What We Need From You To Quote
