Wichard 11249W HR Bow Shackle 24mm 15/16" High-Resistance Stainless Steel

The Wichard 11249W is a heavy-duty HR (High-Resistance) Bow Shackle forged in premium 17-4 PH stainless steel — the same precipitation-hardened alloy used in demanding aerospace and marine applications. At 24mm (15/16") pin diameter, this is Wichard's largest bow shackle in the HR series, engineered for extreme-load rigging, lifting, and industrial use where standard 316L hardware simply isn't enough. Designed and manufactured in France, the 11249W carries CE marking and meets rigorous European standards for working load performance.

Key Features:

• HR 17-4 PH Stainless Steel Construction — up to 60% stronger than equivalent 316L stainless steel shackles of the same size
• Outstanding Load Ratings — Working Load: 28,210 lb (12,800 kg) | Breaking Load: 77,160 lb (35,000 kg)
• WLL Rated — Working Load Limit of 15,430 lb (7,000 kg) with a 5:1 safety factor for certified industrial/lifting applications
• CE Marked — meets EU standards for lifting and industrial use
• Bow (Omega) Profile — wide opening accommodates multiple lines, cables, or large fittings simultaneously
• Drop-Forged Construction — precision forging ensures consistent grain structure and maximum strength throughout
• Corrosion Resistant — 17-4 PH alloy provides superior resistance to saltwater and harsh marine or industrial environments
• Made in France — engineered and manufactured to Wichard's rigorous quality standards
