This guide is for individuals and businesses needing a reliable, cost-effective securing solution for moderate-duty applications. The SecureFix Direct Galvanised Dee Shackle offers a secure connection point, ideal for mooring, tethering, and general industrial or home use, with its countersunk pin providing a neater finish. While durable, it is important to note that galvanised steel is not suitable for highly corrosive environments where stainless steel would be preferred.

The specific Working Load Limit (WLL) is not provided in the product details. This shackle is intended for moderate, non-critical applications. Always assess the load requirements and consult load charts if precise limits are needed.
No, this shackle is not rated or intended for critical overhead lifting applications. It is designed for general securing and tethering purposes.
A Dee shackle has a narrower, D-shaped body, which typically provides a more stable connection for straight-line loads. A Bow shackle has a wider, U-shaped body, which can accommodate a larger or angled load.
The galvanised finish provides good corrosion resistance for general use, including occasional exposure to marine environments. However, for constant submersion or harsh saltwater conditions, a stainless steel shackle would offer superior longevity.
The specifications are: Size - 6MM, A (Length): 22MM, B (Width): 13MM, C (Inner Width): 13MM, D (Pin Diameter): 6MM.
Regularly inspect for damage. Keep the threads clean and lightly lubricated to prevent seizing. Clean with a damp cloth and avoid abrasive materials.
Ensure threads on both the pin and shackle body are clean and free from debris or rust. A small amount of lubricant may help. If damage is apparent, do not use the shackle.
This can occur with age or in highly abrasive conditions. For light rust, clean the area and apply a suitable metal protectant or touch-up paint. For significant flaking, consider replacing the shackle if continued use is intended in exposed environments.
Ensure the pin is fully engaged and tightened correctly. Check that the items being connected are not excessively thick and are seated properly within the shackle body.
