The Wichard Captive Pin Twisted Shackle — 5mm diameter (3/16 inch) — is a marine-grade stainless steel rigging component engineered for applications demanding secure, vibration-resistant attachment without risk of pin loss. Forged from 316L stainless steel and bearing Wichard Marine's reputation for French precision engineering, this captive pin shackle is designed for tactical recovery operations, maritime rigging, climbing systems, and load-bearing applications where single-handed deployment and fail-safe security are non-negotiable.
The captive pin design keeps the pin permanently connected to the shackle body even when fully opened—eliminating the primary failure point of traditional shackles where pins are dropped during high-stress field operations. The pin locks into machined indentations within the shackle, preventing loosening from sustained vibration or shock loads. This mechanical lock system delivers the reliability demanded in CBRN recovery, rigging for helicopter operations, or maritime rescue scenarios where equipment redundancy and fail-safe functionality are critical.
Constructed from 316L stainless steel, the shackle resists corrosion in salt-air environments and harsh chemical exposure while maintaining excellent working and breaking loads within its size class. The compact 5mm diameter fits standard rigging harnesses, carabiners, and anchor points on tactical gear, vehicle recovery systems, and maritime platforms. This shackle is not rated for lifting applications, making it suitable for non-vertical load-bearing and attachment tasks where maximum working load ratings for lifting gear are not required.
Operators, maritime professionals, and recovery specialists rely on Wichard Marine hardware for mission-critical applications where equipment failure is not an option. The twisted shackle design offers superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to standard D-shackles in this diameter range, making it the choice for personnel operating in demanding offshore, recovery, and tactical environments.
