Square Head Dee Shackle

Product Description

Square Head Dee Shackle

Square Head Dee Shackles are strong, practical marine shackles designed for commercial fishing, net rigging, trawl gear, deck equipment and general marine maintenance. The Dee-shaped profile provides a controlled in-line connection, making the shackle suitable for connecting chains, cables, ropes and other compatible fishing and marine hardware.

The square head pin provides a firm, secure fit and allows the shackle to be tightened and removed using suitable tools. This makes it particularly useful for fishing vessels and marine crews carrying out regular equipment adjustments, repairs and replacement work in demanding working conditions.

Commercial fishing applications

Square Head Dee Shackles are suitable for securing fishing nets, trawl doors, chain attachments, wire rope and other deck equipment. They are commonly used in commercial fishing operations where reliable connections are required for net systems, trawling equipment and marine rigging.

The Dee-shaped design is suited to straight-line loading and fixed connection points. The square head helps provide better control when fitting or removing the pin, making the shackle practical for use on trawlers, fishing boats, workboats and commercial marine equipment.

Other marine uses

In addition to commercial fishing, these shackles are suitable for boatyard repairs, marine engineering, deck hardware, chain connections and general equipment securing. They can be used wherever a strong, removable Dee shackle is required and the selected size is appropriate for the intended application.

Square Head Dee Shackles are available in a range of sizes, including 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 22mm and 25mm options. Always select the correct size and working load limit for the chain, rope, cable or fitting being connected.

Inspect the shackle regularly for wear, distortion, damaged threads, cracks, gouges or corrosion, particularly when used in saltwater or exposed marine conditions. Do not use the shackle if it has been modified, welded, heated, bent or otherwise damaged.
