landrover598 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I'm trying to find a supplier of a stainless bow shackle, ideally tested Anyone know where i could look ? I've tried a boaty type place and they had a 20mm stainless bow shackle, not tested/stamped, but only rated for 1200kg Need something that can take the weight of a landy (towing not lifting) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Just wondering why you need a stainless one, won't a normal tested one do these are tested/rated at 3.25t or 4.75t swl, green,red or blue pin. I have green pin 3.25t & 4.75t & red pin 4,75t ones as part of my rally recovery kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headhunter Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 If you look here :- http://www.seaanchor.com/prices.htm You will see S/S shackles up to 1 inch, if this is compatible with their 1 inch rode the tensile strength of which is 15200kg the shackle should suffice for your purpose. Contact them to see if they have a tested strength for their S/S hardware. I had an 18ft sea anchor capable of holding a boat with 11 tonnes displacement using a 3/4" rode, which also had to cope with the shock load of wave action. If you look here :- http://www.petersen-stainless.co.uk/NewFiles/shackb.html you will see S/S shackles with a breaking load up to 11000kg using a 19mm pin with a 16mm body and there made in the UK.
