SNAP SHACKLES WITH PIN

Description

Gloma Nautica Snap Shackles With Pin

Gloma Nautica’s Snap Shackles With Pin deliver efficient, secure, and corrosion-resistant performance in all types of sailing and rigging environments. These shackles are expertly forged in Cabrera de Mar, Spain, from AISI 316 stainless steel, ensuring maximum strength and excellent resistance to saltwater, oxidation, and mechanical fatigue. Designed with a robust locking pin instead of a pull ring, they offer reliable closure and controlled, fast release when needed—ideal for applications where safety and integrity must be maintained under load (glomanautica.com).

Why are these shackles the go-to for professionals?

• Forged Stainless Steel Body
  Unlike cast alternatives, Gloma’s shackles are cold- or hot-forged, giving them a uniform internal grain structure for superior mechanical strength. This forging technique provides a critical safety feature—visible bending under stress—helping users detect overload before failure.

• Pin Locking System for Secure Hold
  Featuring a precision-machined locking pin, these snap shackles close tightly and stay locked even in high-vibration or turbulent conditions. The pin design ensures the mechanism won’t open accidentally during dynamic use, yet releases quickly and smoothly when manually disengaged.

• Marine-Grade Corrosion Protection
  Crafted from molybdenum-alloyed AISI 316 stainless steel, these snap shackles are highly resistant to seawater corrosion, pitting, and long-term wear. Ideal for year-round use in coastal, offshore, or wet-deck environments.

• Smooth Operation Under Load
  The shackle’s pin mechanism engages cleanly with a spring-loaded plunger for secure closure, even while under tension. This makes them highly suitable for rigging configurations where disconnection might need to occur during or after load-bearing use.

• Wide Range of Sizes & Load Ratings
  Gloma offers these shackles in several sizes to meet varying rigging needs—from lightweight dinghy lines to large yacht sails or industrial rigging. Each unit is batch-certified, tested, and verified by APPLUS laboratories to comply with working load limits and mechanical standards (toplicht.com).

• Elegant, Functional Finish
  A polished finish improves both aesthetics and surface integrity. It reduces rust adhesion, improves visibility for inspection, and ensures smooth handling—especially in wet or gloved conditions.

• European Engineering and Quality Assurance
  Produced in Spain and backed by full traceability, each shackle meets stringent quality control benchmarks. Dimensional accuracy, metal composition, and mechanical tolerances are all rigorously checked to ensure reliable performance.

Typical Use Cases
Perfect for halyard shackles, control lines, lifting tackle, boom preventers, safety lines, and heavy-load quick-release points on sailboats, cruisers, catamarans, and workboats.
