Factory spliced D12 or HMPE Soft Shackles offer outstanding strength at a fraction of the weight of conventional steel shackles. With superior strength and incredible light weight, they can be used in any application in which you would normally use a steel shackle, providing a safe and stronger alternative. Made to order, they can be produced from 4mm - 80mm. Important note: The lengths listed in the specification are for both the closed circumference and open length. Closed length is approximately half the open length assuming the bearing surfaces are not too big. All these figures are approximate as they are hand made by artisans.
