Yale Synthetic Shackles
YALE Synthetic Shackle
The Synthetic Shackle is made from Yale's Ultrex 12-strand UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) fiber and is Maxijacket High Performance coated for structural firmness and increased abrasion resistance. It is lightweight and offers a quick connection with no tools required.
These will never rust or corrode and will not shatter if broken which can be an issue with metal shackles.
They are also soft so are less likely to cause damage to objects it comes into contact with.
Used where sharp edges or excessive abrasion will not be present.
Safe and easy to use.
