We are proudly introducing our own branded RS PRO Stainless-Steel D Shackle recognisable as they are narrower than a Bow Shackle and, in most cases, they have a threaded pin or pin close. The purpose of their existence is to serve for an in-line load, which explains why the loop is so small.
The material of this D-Shackle is stainless-steel meaning it can be subjected to climatic factors. This D-Shackle (known as Chain Shackle) with 5 mm diameter, withstands of approximately 120 kg is a perfect solution to secure your light to moderate loads.
Note: Suitable for a wide variety of applications such as tensioning wires or securing loads. Not suitable for lifting applications.
