Forelock Shackle

Product Description

Forelock Shackle
SKU:FS22

Forelock Shackles are used primarily in mooring assemblies where frequent maintenance or inspection is either impossible or impractical. A good example of this is Trinity House, having regard to the number of navigation marks deployed and maintained by them it would not be realistic or cost effective for them to be checked on an annual basis, consequently they use oversized chain and extra heavy duty Forelock Shackles.

Design: Features an oval pin secured by a forelock, reducing movement and wear, especially in mooring assemblies where frequent maintenance is impractical.

Applications:

• Mooring Systems: Ideal for connecting mooring chains to anchors or buoys, providing reliable performance in harsh marine environments.
• Industrial Rigging: Suitable for heavy lifting and rigging tasks, offering secure connections in construction and industrial settings.

Specifications:

• Sizes: Available in various sizes, typically ranging from 16mm to 40mm in diameter, with larger sizes available upon request.
• Finish: Standard black bitumen coating, with hot-dip galvanised options available for enhanced corrosion resistance
