FAQs
What is the primary benefit of using 316 grade stainless steel?
316 grade stainless steel offers superior resistance to corrosion and rust, making it ideal for marine environments and other harsh conditions where durability is essential.
How do I ensure the shackle is securely fastened?
Ensure the screw collar pin is fully screwed in and tightened. Periodically check its tightness, especially under load or vibration.
What is the breaking load of this shackle?
The breaking load for the 10mm Stainless Steel D Shackle is 3804 kilograms.
Can these shackles be used for lifting heavy objects?
These shackles are rated for a breaking load of 3804 KG. Always ensure the shackle is correctly installed and the load does not exceed this limit. For critical lifting applications, consult professional engineering advice.
What are the exact dimensions of the 10mm shackle?
The dimensions are: A (MM) - 10, B (MM) - 10, C (MM) - 34, D (MM) - 20, E (MM) - 20.
Are these shackles suitable for indoor use?
Yes, they are suitable for indoor use, but their corrosion resistance makes them particularly advantageous for outdoor and marine applications.
Troubleshooting
Shackle pin is difficult to screw in.
Ensure the pin and the shackle's threaded hole are clean and free of debris. Check for any cross-threading or damage to the threads. Apply a small amount of marine-grade lubricant if necessary.
Screw collar pin feels loose.
Tighten the collar pin firmly. If it continues to feel loose, inspect the threads on both the pin and the shackle body for wear or damage. If damaged, the shackle should be replaced.
Signs of corrosion or rust.
While 316 stainless steel is highly resistant, prolonged exposure to extreme conditions or certain chemicals can cause minor surface discoloration. Clean with a soft cloth and fresh water. For significant corrosion, consider replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use the D shackle, insert the pin through the eyes of the items you wish to connect. Once aligned, screw the collar pin fully into place. For maximum security, ensure the collar is tightened firmly. Do not overtighten, but ensure there is no play in the pin.
Compatibility: These 10mm shackles are designed to connect to items with loops or holes that can accommodate the shackle's pin and body. Verify that the dimensions (particularly the internal width and height of the connecting item) are compatible with the shackle's dimensions.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity, periodically inspect the shackle for any signs of damage or wear. Clean the shackle with fresh water if exposed to salt water or other corrosive substances. Periodically check the screw collar pin for tightness, especially if the shackle is subjected to vibration or frequent load changes. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the stainless steel surface.
