LGRIG® Stainless Shackles — Corrosion Proof, Connection Strong.
From marine rigging and coastal infrastructure to food processing and architectural applications, QINGDAO LG RIGGING CO.,LTD delivers the LGRIG® range of stainless steel shackles — engineered for reliable performance in high-humidity, saltwater, and chemically aggressive environments where standard shackles fail.
Our comprehensive lineup covers every connection need: bow (anchor) shackles with large O-shaped loops for multi-directional loading and multi-leg sling applications, D-shackles with compact loop designs for straight-line tension and in-line pulls only, snap shackles with spring-activated mechanisms for one-handed quick release in frequent hooking operations, swivel shackles with 360° rotation for flexible alignment, and trawling shackles with square head pins specifically designed for the commercial fishing industry.
Pin options include screw pins with scalloped ends for easy on-off use, bolt-type pins for permanent or long-term installations, square head pins for fishing and trawling applications, and slotted pins with countersunk designs for commercial fishing operations.
Manufactured from stainless steel 304 (18% chromium, 8% nickel) for general corrosion resistance in automotive, food equipment, and storage applications, or marine grade 316 (16-18% chromium, 10-14% nickel, plus 2-3% molybdenum) for superior protection against saltwater, humidity, and high chlorine environments.
Whether you are rigging marine vessels, securing offshore platforms, outfitting food processing equipment, or installing coastal architecture, LGRIG® stainless steel shackles deliver the corrosion resistance, strength, and reliability that marine engineers, rigging professionals, and industrial buyers trust — in every connection, in every environment.
Stainless steel bow shackles, which are bow-shaped and tend to be round and O-shaped, are also known as anchor shackles and can withstand loads from multiple directions and are suitable for supporting side loading and multi-leg slings. although the stainless steel sahckle does reduce its overall strength due to its larger loop design, it is able to handle larger straps.
Stainless steel D-shackles, shaped like a ''D'', this smaller loop design is primarily designed to withstand tension in a straight line and is suitable for straight pulling and should not be used for side pulling, where a side load would twist or bend the D-shackle. Therefore the center line of the load should always be aligned with the center line of the D shackle.
The stainless steel Snap shackle is a variant of the D-shackle which has a spring-activated mechanism and can therefore be used quickly and one-handed. It is suitable for applications that require frequent hooking or unhooking.
The stainless steel shackle pin is usually available as a screw pin, bolt-type pin, square head pin or slotted pin.
The square head pin is a common type of unloading pin used in the fishing and trawling industries.
Screw pins have a scalloped end with or without a shoulder on one end and a threaded end on the other. These pins are easy to screw on and off, so it is not recommended that you use a shackle with these pins for long term or permanent applications.
Slotted pins are those with a slot at one end and need to be tightened or unscrewed with a one-touch reamer. The countersunk slotted pin is almost parallel to the shackle body and is ideal for the commercial fishing industry as well as architectural applications.
The Bolt type pin is a more secure pin than the screw pin and consists of a single threaded hexagonal bolt, a nut and a cotter pin. The bolt is passed through the shackle body and the nut is tightened. The cotter pin is passed through a small hole in the end of the bolt to prevent the nut from slipping off. With the tightening nut and cotter pin, there is no need to tighten the pin before lifting and moving the load, making the bolt type pin release buckle the best choice for long term or semi-permanent scenarios.
