Wichard 12MM D "HR" Shackle

Shackles are for linking components, and consequently play an essential role in terms of safety aboard - that is the reason why all Wichard shackles are Drop-forged and their technical characteristics are closely controlled during the manufacturing process allowing Wichard to stamp its brand on them with every confidence. HR' stands for High Resistance and the 17.4 PH stainless steel that these shackles are forged from offers the very highest level mechanical performance characteristics. These models are ideal for use on large ocean-going monohulls and multihulls where performance cannot be compromised.

Forged CE stainless steel HR D shackle.

'HR' stands for High Resistance. The 17.4 PH stainless steel that these shackles are forged from offers very high level mechanical performance characteristics.

These models, which form an integral part of the fittings on large ocean-going mono hulls and multi hulls, are also widely used in the industrial sector.

A Shackle forged in HR 17.4 Ph Stainless Steel can be up to 60% more resistant than a shackle made from 316L Stainless Steel.

Hot dropped forged from a single piece of stainless steel, adding strength and consistency of manufacture for total security and reliability. The technical characteristics of every Shackle is closely controlled and tested before, during and after the manufacturing process.

Wichard forges its parts by drop forging, using a forge hammer: an operation which involves forming a heated slug under pressure between two dies.

This technique makes the structure of the metal homogeneous and gives the part strength and elasticity.

The parts are then finished and tested prior to being sold.

Forging guarantees the elasticity of the product, its resistance to corrosion and strength, while optimising the size of the parts.
