Wichard Self-Locking Long D Shackle Grade Stainless Steel Shackles

Wichard self-locking long D shackles are drop-forged stainless steel shackles for marine rigging, sailing and industrial attachment points. The long D profile gives extra length where a standard D shackle is too short. Typical uses are connecting blocks, sail heads and other rigging attachments.

Key Features:

• Self-locking pin: The pin head seats into small indentations in the shackle body. This helps stop the pin from backing out under vibration.
• 316L stainless steel: Forged from 316L grade stainless steel, which resists corrosion in marine environments.
• Drop-forged construction: Forging gives consistent quality and strong working and breaking loads for the size.
• Long D shape: The extra length suits applications that need more room than a standard shackle allows.
• CE marking: The shackles carry CE marking and a batch number. The Working Load Limit (WLL) is based on a 5:1 safety factor and applies to industrial applications only.

Wichard is a French manufacturer of marine and rigging hardware. These shackles suit sailboat rigging, deck hardware and general attachment work where a secure pin and corrosion resistance matter.
