Gloma Nautica Snap Shackles With Triangle

Gloma Nautica’s Snap Shackles With Triangle are precision-forged to meet the demands of modern marine and industrial rigging, offering unmatched reliability, quick-release functionality, and secure load distribution. Forged from AISI 316 stainless steel and manufactured in Cabrera de Mar, Spain, these shackles feature an integrated triangular attachment point that simplifies alignment and ensures consistent load direction. They are ideal for high-tension setups that require both strength and ease of disengagement (glomanautica.com).

These snap shackles stand out due to their thoughtful design and engineering:

• Forged AISI 316 Stainless Steel Construction
  Each snap shackle is cold- or hot-forged from marine-grade stainless steel to guarantee structural integrity, mechanical consistency, and long-term resistance to deformation. Forging maintains grain alignment and provides enhanced safety by visibly distorting under overload—unlike brittle cast alternatives.

• Fixed Triangular Eye for Load Stability
  The solid triangle serves as a stable anchor for webbing, wire, or rope, providing better load distribution compared to round swivels. This fixed design minimizes twist, enhances directional control, and increases safety in critical load paths.

• Quick-Release Pin for Fast Detachment
  The shackles include a secure spring-loaded plunger pin that holds tight under load yet can be disengaged instantly when needed. This mechanism is critical for halyards, sheets, spinnakers, or safety gear where rapid release under tension is essential.

• Superior Corrosion Resistance
  Made with molybdenum-alloyed AISI 316 steel, these shackles are extremely resistant to saltwater corrosion, pitting, and surface fatigue, making them ideal for use in demanding offshore or wet-deck environments.

• Multiple Sizes & Load Certifications
  Available in a wide range of sizes and Working Load Limits (WLL), Gloma’s snap shackles with triangle suit various rigging applications—from light-duty sail trim to heavy-duty deck hardware. Each unit is batch-tested and certified under APPLUS quality control standards (toplicht.com).

• High-Polish Finish for Clean Handling
  The smooth polished finish resists corrosion buildup and allows easy inspection and cleaning. This is especially useful in harsh environments where dirt, salt, or oil exposure may be a concern.

• European Precision, Traceable Quality
  Manufactured exclusively in Spain, Gloma Nautica maintains strict dimensional, mechanical, and metallurgical quality control with full traceability for every production batch.

Typical Applications
Ideal for halyard and sheet connections, spinnaker gear, webbing attachment, safety release systems, heavy-duty marine rigging, and industrial lifting setups where directional load stability is essential.
