SNAP SHACKLES FIXED

Description

Gloma Nautica Snap Shackles Fixed

Gloma Nautica’s Snap Shackles Fixed are engineered for sailing professionals and industrial users who demand reliability, simplicity, and rugged strength in a compact form. Forged in Spain using AISI 316 stainless steel, these snap shackles are built to perform under the toughest marine and load-bearing conditions. The fixed configuration offers a solid, non-swiveling eye that enhances directional stability and minimizes movement—ideal for static and high-tension rigging points (glomanautica.com).

Each snap shackle is hot- or cold-forged to optimize the internal grain structure, providing high mechanical strength and ensuring a safety advantage over cast hardware. Under extreme stress, forged shackles deform visibly instead of failing suddenly—giving the user a critical warning of overload.

The fixed-eye design ensures a stable and immovable connection point for lines, slings, or webbing, reducing the risk of twist or misalignment. This feature is essential in applications where the load direction must remain constant, such as halyard terminations, mast fittings, or safety line anchors.

The snap shackle features a precision spring-loaded plunger pin mechanism that locks securely under load and releases smoothly with manual pressure. This allows for fast, controlled detachment even under moderate tension—a vital safety feature for emergency gear release or spinnaker control lines. The robust plunger pin resists vibration and impact, maintaining a reliable connection during sailing or lifting operations.

Manufactured entirely from AISI 316 stainless steel, these shackles offer long-term resistance to corrosion, pitting, and wear in saltwater environments. The inclusion of molybdenum in the alloy enhances their ability to withstand aggressive marine conditions and extends service life, even with constant exposure to the elements.

Gloma Nautica provides a variety of sizes to accommodate a wide range of rigging and lifting needs. From dinghy setups to offshore yacht rigging and commercial marine hardware, each shackle size aligns with certified Working Load Limits (WLL) and European quality standards. All batches are traceable and undergo rigorous dimensional, mechanical, and metallurgical testing to ensure consistency and compliance (toplicht.com).

Each unit features a polished finish, giving it a clean, professional look while improving corrosion resistance and enabling easy inspection. This finish also helps prevent dirt, salt, or marine growth buildup, making maintenance easier over time.
