Key Features & Benefits

High-Strength Stainless Steel 316 Material

Crafted from 316 Stainless Steel, this fixed eye snap shackle delivers superior strength and durability compared to standard steel shackles. The material’s high chromium and nickel content enhances corrosion resistance, making it suitable for saltwater, humid, and industrial environments. The High-Strength Shackle can withstand heavy loads (up to 950 kg WLL) without deformation, ensuring safe and reliable connections for rigging tasks.

Effortless Operation & Secure Locking

The Easy-Use Snap Shackle features a user-friendly design with a spring-loaded locking mechanism that allows for quick and secure connections. Simply open the snap, attach to the desired component, and release— the lock closes automatically, preventing accidental disengagement. The smooth operation saves time during rigging setup, while the secure locking system provides peace of mind in high-stress applications.

Multiple Size Options for Various Rigging Needs

Offering four size options—35mm, 52mm, 69mm, and 96mm—this Multi-Size Rigging Shackle accommodates different load requirements and application scenarios. From lightweight caravan towing to heavy-duty boat rigging, each size is engineered to match specific weight capacities (100 kg to 950 kg WLL), ensuring optimal performance for every task. The size versatility makes it a versatile tool for marine professionals, outdoor enthusiasts, and industrial users.

Superior Corrosion Resistance for Marine Environments

The Corrosion-Resistant Shackle is specifically designed to withstand the harsh conditions of marine environments. Stainless Steel 316 resists rust, oxidation, and saltwater erosion, ensuring long-term performance even with prolonged exposure to humidity and salt. This durability reduces maintenance costs and extends the product’s lifespan, making it a cost-effective investment for rigging applications.

FAQ

Is Magnetism a Sign of Poor Quality in Stainless Steel Shackles?

No—magnetism does not indicate poor quality. Stainless Steel 316 is austenitic and typically non-magnetic or weakly magnetic, but cold working during manufacturing can cause partial transformation to martensite, increasing magnetic properties. This is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the shackle’s strength, corrosion resistance, or performance. To verify quality, use professional testing methods like spectral analysis or stainless steel identification liquid.

How to Prevent Rust on Stainless Steel Fixed Eye Snap Shackles?

Rust prevention relies on proper maintenance and avoiding corrosive triggers:

a. Regular Cleaning: Remove dust, dirt, and dissimilar metal particles to prevent electrochemical corrosion.

b. Avoid Organic Residues: Clean off vegetable juice, food debris, or other organic substances promptly to prevent acid formation.

c. Protect from Acids/Alkalis: Avoid exposure to alkali water, lime water, or other corrosive substances.

d. Dry Storage: When not in use, store the shackle in a dry environment to prevent condensation and moisture buildup. Following these steps ensures long-term corrosion resistance.
