The curved stainless steel shackle is also sometimes called an H-shackle, harp shackle, small harp, or lyre shackle. Of course, it all depends on the shape of the object. Since the diameter of the arch of a curved shackle is larger than the opening of the lock itself, you have some extra freedom of movement, which can be useful in some cases. In other cases, a straight stainless steel D-shackle, which offers slightly less freedom of movement, is better.

Anyone wondering why they should buy a curved stainless steel shackle should consider the world of lifting equipment and rigging. For years, shackles have been a perfect match for pulleys, for example. These devices are also a common sight in the world of sailing, where more than one sail is hoisted a day. And that's where a curved stainless steel shackle, resistant to all weather conditions and all the negative influences such as saltwater, comes in handy.
Different types of shackles
If you browse the selection of shackles in our hardware webshop, you'll likely notice that there are different types of shackles. Besides a stainless steel shackle with a straight shackle, there's also the straight-shaped alternative, the D-shackle. There are also differences in the way the lock is locked. There are the classic bolts, but also shackles with a nut and screw for extra security. Of course, everything depends on the intended use. However, you can find a suitable shackle for every purpose in our webshop.
