Wichard HR Bow Shackle 16mm High Resistance Steel

The Wichard HR 16mm Bow Shackle is built for demanding marine attachment applications where a compact high-load shackle is required. Its forged 17.4 PH high-resistance stainless steel construction provides substantially greater strength than a comparable 316L shackle, while the bow-shaped body leaves additional room for connecting multiple lines or fittings.

This 16mm model carries a published 14,990 lb working load rating. Wichard also publishes separate working, breaking, and industrial lifting values for its HR shackles, so the correct rating should always be matched to the intended marine or lifting application rather than treated as interchangeable.

Before use, confirm the 16mm size, opening dimensions, pin fit, connected hardware, and applicable load rating for the complete system. Inspect the shackle body and pin for wear, deformation, corrosion, or thread damage, and follow Wichard's application restrictions, including any exclusions for mooring use.
