Soft shackle loops (Dyneema™)

For an equivalent resistance, a Dyneema™ shackle loop is 5 to 10 times lighter in weight than a stainless steel shackle and features extra benefits :

  • silent manoeuvres, no rattling, reduced risk of injury if it strikes a crewmember, 
  • no risk to loose the shackle axis, no blocked shackle due to corrosion,
  • flexes and twists : when attaching a block to a fixed element (pad eye, boom), the soft shackle allows the block to rotate freely where a metal shackle would not.
