Rapid Operation & Secure Closure
Featuring a key-pin style captive mechanism, these shackles can be opened or closed with just a half-turn of the pin—ideal for fast-paced sailing or spinnaker sets. The pin remains attached through an integrated bar, preventing loss and ensuring quick, tool-free use even in wet conditions .

Forged AISI 316 Construction
Manufactured using advanced cold- and hot-forging techniques, each shackle maintains optimal metal grain alignment, delivering excellent tensile strength and fatigue resistance. The AISI 316 material ensures high durability against saltwater corrosion, making it the go-to hardware for sailing environments .

Halliard key shackles are specialized shackles designed for quick and secure fastening, often used in sailing and rigging applications. They feature a key pin mechanism, allowing them to be opened or closed with just half a turn of the pin, making them ideal for situations requiring fast operations.

Marine Durability & Inspection
The polished stainless finish resists corrosion while providing a smooth surface that’s easy to inspect. Forged shackles are designed to deform under extreme load rather than fail suddenly—offering visual durability cues for safe use APPLUS lab testing ensures verified WLL figures for dependable performance on deck.

Applications
Ideal for:

• Halyard and topping-lift fittings

• Spinnaker and pole attachments

• Fleet-style sail handling and quick-release systems

• Emergency halyard reroute hardware

• Any application requiring one-handed instrumentation
