Gloma Nautica Long “D” Shackles

Gloma Nautica’s Long “D” Shackles are engineered with the discerning marine and industrial professional in mind. Manufactured in Cabrera de Mar (Barcelona) using exclusively AISI 316 stainless steel, these shackles exemplify maritime robustness, combining deep corrosion resistance with superior mechanical strength

What sets these shackles apart?

• Forged for Strength
  Avoiding casting flaws, each shackle is cold- or hot-forged to align with molecular grain, resulting in a structure that bends noticeably under extreme stress—offering a vital visual safety indicator before failure

• Extended “D” Design
  The elongated body (Long “D”) allows better access and greater clearance—ideal for connections requiring extra reach or accommodating bulkier attachments. Precision dimensions (A, B, C, D) are maintained for reliable load ratings, as per industry standards

• Screw-Pin Closure for Secure Fastening
  A robust AISI 316 screw pin ensures stable, vibration-resistant closure. It’s user-friendly, serviceable, and inline-supportive, helping keep load alignment impeccable—critical where safety margins matter.

• Broad Size Availability
  Available in diameters spanning from 4 mm to 22 mm, Gloma’s shackles accommodate a wide range of applications—from lightweight sailboat fittings to heavy industrial rigging. Each size corresponds with certified Working Load Limits (WLL) and safety coefficients

• Marine-Grade Corrosion Defense
  With AISI 316 composition, these shackles exhibit excellent protection against saltwater corrosion—ideal for long-term exposure to marine and coastal environments.

• Precision Finish
  The polished stainless finish not only enhances appearance but also resists surface corrosion, preventing rust inception and enabling easy cleaning and inspection.

• Global Standards & Traceability
  Produced in Spain with full traceability, each batch adheres to rigorous internal quality checks—certifying dimensions, metallurgy, and mechanical performance.

Typical Applications
Perfect for sailboat rigging, commercial vessel moorings, lifting points, lifeline systems, towing setups, deck hardware, and any scenario where tensile integrity and corrosion resistance are essential.

• Reliable Performance: Forged for resilience with built-in over-stress deformation safety margin.

• Extended Fitments: Long design suits complex rigging needs with space constraints.

• Corrosion-Resistant: AISI 316 ensures a long service life in harsh environments.

• Versatile Range: Multiple sizes accommodate applications from light rigging to heavy-duty loads.

• Certified Quality: Made in Europe, with traceable manufacturing processes.
