This SecureFix Direct Long Dee Shackle with Captive Screw Pin is designed for securely connecting chains, straps, and other rigging components. Its primary benefit is the captive screw pin, which prevents accidental loss, ensuring a reliable connection. A key consideration is its specific 4mm size, which dictates its load capacity and suitability for particular applications. This shackle is constructed from durable stainless steel, offering excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making it particularly well-suited for harsh environments.

The working load limit is not specified in the product information. Always ensure the load applied does not exceed the shackle's capacity, which is typically determined by its material and dimensions. For critical applications, consult with a rigging professional.
This 4mm stainless steel shackle is designed for general rigging and securing purposes. For lifting heavy or critical loads, professional advice should be sought to ensure the correct size and rated equipment is used.
While stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, regular cleaning and avoiding prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or stagnant saltwater will help maintain its condition. A light coating of marine-grade lubricant can also offer protection.
No, the captive screw pin is permanently attached to the shackle body. If the pin is damaged, the entire shackle will need to be replaced.
A 'Long Dee Shackle' refers to the elongated shape of the 'D' in its design, which can sometimes offer more space for connecting rigging components compared to a standard Dee shackle.
The external dimensions are: A = 32mm (overall length), B = 16.5mm (inner width), C = 8.2mm (pin diameter), D = 3.5mm (material thickness).
Ensure there is no debris or corrosion hindering the threads. Clean the threads if necessary. Apply a small amount of marine-grade lubricant if needed.
Clean the affected area with a mild abrasive pad and water. If corrosion is deep or structural, the shackle may need replacement.
Verify the dimensions of the shackle (8.2mm pin diameter, 16.5mm inner width) against the chain link or strap eyelet. Ensure compatibility of load ratings.
