Wichard HR Bow Shackle 16mm High Resistance Steel

The Wichard bow shackle is forged from 17.4 PH high-resistance stainless steel for demanding attachment applications where published load capacity and dependable marine hardware are important. The bow profile gives additional room for attaching multiple lines or cables.

Wichard's HR stainless grade gives substantially higher resistance than a comparable 316L shackle and is intended for high-load applications. The product carries published working and breaking loads, and the industrial WLL value shown by Wichard applies specifically to lifting contexts rather than replacing the nautical working-load guidance.

Confirm shackle diameter, opening dimensions, working load, breaking load, pin style, and compatibility with every connected fitting before use. Follow Wichard's stated load definitions and do not use HR shackles for mooring where the manufacturer excludes that application. Inspect the body and pin for deformation, wear, thread damage, or corrosion before loading.

• The shackle is built for demanding attachment loads and marine exposure.
