Description

Soft shackles are made of HMPE fiber and are designed to be significantly stronger and much more lightweight than traditional steel shackles.

Material and properties: Soft shackles are both lighter and more flexible than traditional steel shackles while offering exceptional strength and reliability.

Applications: These soft shackles have become a popular choice on board boats due to their superior properties.

  • On board: Attach the mainsheet, tack pendant or genoa sheet. Almost anywhere on the sailboat, traditional steel shackles can be advantageously replaced by these lightweight and soft shackles.
  • Industrial and marine: In both marine and industrial processes and applications today, heavy, sharp and difficult-to-handle steel shackles can be replaced with soft shackles.

Advantages: A significant advantage of these soft shackles is their ability to be easily opened and released even under high load. This sets them apart from steel shackles, which can often be challenging to handle in demanding situations. By offering easy handling and a higher degree of user-friendliness, soft shackles help simplify and improve various work processes on board boats and in other environments.
