Wichard HR Bow Shackle 20mm High Resistance Steel

The Wichard HR 20mm Bow Shackle is the larger of this paired set, giving high-load marine systems a heavier attachment point with the extra internal room provided by a bow-style shackle. Wichard forges the body from 17.4 PH high-resistance stainless steel for applications that require substantially more strength than a comparable 316L shackle.

The 20mm version is rated at a published 19,400 lb working load, giving it greater load capacity than the 16mm model. Wichard distinguishes between nautical working loads, breaking loads, and industrial lifting values, so the appropriate published figure should be used for the specific installation rather than substituting one rating for another.

Verify the 20mm shackle size, opening dimensions, pin style, mating hardware, and complete-system load requirements before installation. The shackle and removable pin should be checked regularly for wear, distortion, damaged threads, or corrosion, and Wichard's stated application limitations should be followed.

• Larger 20mm configuration for higher-load attachment systems
