Wichard Captive Pin Long D Shackle - Diameter 6mm - 1/4"

The Wichard Captive Pin Long D Shackle in 6mm diameter (1/4") is a precision-engineered rigging component forged from grade 316L stainless steel, designed for applications requiring secure, fail-safe load bearing in demanding environments. The captive pin mechanism keeps the pin permanently tethered to the shackle body, eliminating the risk of accidental separation during tactical operations, recovery scenarios, or marine applications where vibration and movement are constant concerns.

The captive pin design features indexed locking indentations that securely hold the pin in position when closed, preventing loosening from repetitive shock loads or vibration. Grade 316L stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance in saltwater, humid, and chemically aggressive environments, making this shackle suitable for coastal tactical operations, maritime rescue, or equipment exposed to harsh field conditions. The 6mm diameter profile balances load capacity with compact utility, meeting the working and breaking load specifications required for professional-grade rigging and securing operations.

This long D-profile shackle is favored by operators, recovery teams, and maritime professionals who require gear that will not fail under shock loads or demanding field use. The captive pin eliminates downtime from lost or dropped hardware and ensures that mission-critical connections remain intact throughout extended operations. Whether rigging recovery equipment, securing tactical load-outs, or assembling offshore safety systems, the Wichard captive pin shackle delivers the reliability and durability expected from European marine-grade hardware.
