Wichard 1262W Self-Locking Large Shackle 5mm 3/16" Grade 316L Stainless Steel

The Wichard 1262W Self-Locking Large Shackle is a premium marine and industrial shackle designed for applications where a wide opening and reliable retention are essential. Drop-forged in Grade 316L stainless steel, this shackle delivers outstanding strength, durability, and corrosion resistance in demanding saltwater and marine environments.

The self-locking mechanism sets this shackle apart from standard designs. The pin head locks into one of the indentations machined into the shackle body, preventing accidental loosening caused by vibration, wave action, or repeated loading cycles. This makes it an ideal choice for rigging, anchoring, lifting, and other critical connections where unintended release is not an option.
