Premium Forged Construction
Manufactured using precision cold- and hot-forging techniques, these bow shackles exhibit superior grain alignment—yielding strength and fatigue resistance that far exceed cast alternatives. The AISI 316 grade ensures top-tier resistance against rust, saltwater corrosion, and chemical deterioration .

Optimized Bow Shape for Load Flexibility
The rounded “bow” geometry provides a broader internal girth, allowing multiple attachments or swivel-style fittings. This reduces stress concentration and facilitates versatile rigging connections, especially for pulley blocks, mooring lines, or towing setups.

Captive Screw‑Eye Pin for Secure Use
Featuring a screw‑eye pin that remains securely attached to the shackle body, this captive design prevents pin loss during handling or operation. The screw‑eye allows tool-free manual tightening and resists loosening from vibration—an essential safeguard in dynamic environments .

Full Entry & Wide Clearance
Boasting a fully open throat, these bow shackles offer seamless access for attaching ropes, chains, straps, or fittings—a practical design feature enhancing rigging speed and ease

Range of Sizes & Load Specifications
Aligned with Gloma Nautica’s standard shackle line, bow captive-pin shackles are available in metric sizes spanning 4 mm to 12 mm. Each size is specified with a certified Working Load Limit (WLL) and break load—ensuring safe, traceable performance in any application
