Marine-Grade Straight Shackles (SC Type) for Rigging & Deck Use

Straight shackles, also known as chain shackles or SC shackles, are essential components in marine rigging and general deck operations. Designed for direct in-line loads, these shackles provide a secure and reliable connection between chains, ropes, wires, and other deck fittings. The straight shackle design offers maximum strength in straight-line tension applications, making them a preferred choice for lifting, towing, mooring, and lashing aboard commercial vessels and offshore installations.

Our straight shackles are manufactured from high-grade steel to meet the demanding conditions of the marine environment. Available in both galvanized carbon steel and stainless steel (316L) options, they offer excellent corrosion resistance against saltwater, UV exposure, and harsh weather. The screw pin or bolt-type closure ensures a safe and easy connection while allowing for quick assembly and disassembly. Each shackle is carefully inspected and tested to deliver reliable performance and full traceability as per international standards.

Whether you need a standard size for routine deck work or a heavy-duty shackle for critical lifting operations, this range of straight shackles (IMPA 231351) covers a wide spectrum of sizes and working load limits (WLL). Robust, versatile, and built to last, these shackles are a dependable addition to your ship’s rigging inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a straight shackle (SC) used for?

Straight shackles are designed for applications where the load is applied in a straight line. They are commonly used in marine rigging, lifting chains, wire ropes, and tie-down systems to connect components securely.

What are the available material and finish options?

Our straight shackles are available in galvanized carbon steel for general marine use or stainless steel (316L) for highly corrosive environments. The galvanized finish provides sacrificial protection, while stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance and is ideal for permanent or offshore applications.

How do I select the correct shackle size for my application?

Select a shackle based on the working load limit (WLL) required and the diameter of the chain, wire, or rope being connected. The shackle's pin diameter and inside width must be compatible with the components. Always verify the WLL is greater than the maximum expected load.

What is the difference between a straight shackle and a bow shackle?

A straight shackle (SC) has a narrow 'U' shape designed for in-line pulls, while a bow shackle (B/C) has a rounded shape that allows multi-angle loading. Straight shackles are often preferred for vertical lifts or where alignment is critical.
