Anchor Shackles

Samco has been casting and forging a variety of screw pin and anchor shackles since we opened our facilities in 1981. Our shackles are an integral part of connecting links for different types of rigging systems for industrial, agricultural and marine applications. Many of our customers utilize anchor shackles and pin shackles for boats and ships.
Both pin shackles and anchor shackles are available in a variety of sizes. Pin shackles are used primarily on marine vessels. In addition to pin and anchor shackles, Samco sells a variety of cast and forged shackles such as round pin shackles, safety shackles, carbon steel, stainless steel, commercial shackles, and lifting shackles.
When sizing pin and anchor shackles, it is important to keep in mind that the shackle size is determined according to the overall diameter of the bow section rather than by the pin size. As well, knowing that the size of the shackle needed for a particular use should always be determined by the safe working load of the shackle.
