Bow Type Shackles

Product Description

A Bow Shackle is an ‘O’ shaped metal link which is closed by a bolt. Similar to an Anchor Shackle, the rounded design of both shackles allows Bow Shackles to take loads from many directions without developing a side load.
When compared to a Chain Shackle, the more rounded shape of the Bow Shackle means they can also handle a thicker strap with ease.
