Description
The Wichard Twist Shackle with Captive Pin is a high-quality stainless steel fitting designed for applications requiring a 90-degree alignment between connection points. Forged from marine-grade 316L stainless steel, it offers outstanding corrosion resistance, strength, and reliability in marine and industrial environments.
Its twisted design allows for efficient load transfer when components are mounted at right angles, such as connecting a block or line to a deck fitting positioned perpendicular to the load. The captive pin remains securely attached to the body when open, preventing accidental loss during handling or vibration. The pin locks precisely into position, ensuring a firm and reliable connection under load.
With a typical 6 mm size offering a working load of around 600 kg and a breaking load near 2100 kg, this compact and durable shackle delivers dependable performance where twisted alignment is required.
