Description

The Crown Shackle is a critical heavy-duty connecting component in a vessel’s anchoring system, specifically designed to link the anchor chain to the crown of the anchor. Engineered for exceptional strength and reliability, this fitting is capable of withstanding the high dynamic loads, shock forces, and abrasive conditions experienced during anchoring and mooring operations.

Manufactured from high-tensile marine-grade steel, the Crown Shackle is precision-forged and machined to ensure an accurate fit, correct chain alignment, and optimal load distribution. This minimizes wear on both the anchor shank and the chain links, extending service life and reducing maintenance costs. The robust “U” or “D” shaped body, coupled with a secure, heavy-duty pin, provides a rigid and reliable connection that resists deformation under extreme strain.

To ensure maximum corrosion resistance in marine environments, the Crown Shackle is finished with hot-dip galvanizing or an advanced marine-grade coating. It is fully compatible with both studlink and studless anchor chains and is available in a wide range of sizes, diameters, and safe working load ratings to accommodate different vessel classes—from small commercial craft to large offshore and naval ships.

The crown shackle is a kind of shackle generally installed on the top of the shank of the anchor and is essential for the connection to the chain cable.

As it’s part of the anchor is then tested together with the anchor and that’s why there’s only an indication of Proof load and not of the breaking load.

When the crown shackle is installed on an existing anchor keep in mind that it has to be welded on both parts of the main pin. Remember to check the width and hole diameter of the head of your anchor in order to order the right size and last check weight and type of your anchor in order to be sure about the right proof load of your new crown shackle.
