Wichard HR D Shackle 20mm High Resistance Steel

The Wichard D 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 D profile is suited to standard shackle connections such as blocks and attachment points.

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.
• The D profile suits direct block and attachment-point connections.
• Working and breaking loads provide defined limits for system design.
• The body and removable pin can be checked for wear before use.
