About the Wichard Forged Stainless Steel Captive Pin D Shackle

Wichard Forged Stainless Steel Captive Pin D Shackle

Not only are these self-locking, the pin is also connected to the body at all times, even when fully opened. Consequently, there is no more risk of seeing it fall in the water, which would make the shackle unusable. These shackles can therefore be fitted completely safety using just one hand. 

Hot dropped forged from a single piece of stainless steel, adding strength and consistency of manufacture for total security and reliability. The technical characteristics of every Shackle is closely controlled and tested before, during and after the manufacturing process. 

Manufactured from AISI 316 stainless offering excellent corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments.

Load definitions: 

  •  Working Load (WL) = Static load at which the product will still function without excessive friction or wear or permanent deformation of components. 
  • Breaking Load (BL) = Static load at which a major failure of one or more structural components or complete destruction of the product. 
  • Working Load Limit (WLL) = 5:1 safety factor of the breaking load, used for industrial applications.
