Kenter Shackle for Anchor Chain Connection

ENGINEERED FOR SECURE ANCHOR CHAIN CONNECTION

The Kenter Shackle is a critical component designed to connect two lengths of anchor chain safely and efficiently. 

Its split-body and taper-pin design provide quick assembly and reliable performance under high tensile loads during offshore mooring operations.

Each Kenter Shackle is forged from Grade 2 or Grade 3 marine alloy steel, suitable for chain diameters.

Contact our engineering team to receive drawings or mechanical performance data specific to your shipbuilding project.

PRECISION FORGING AND CERTIFIED STRENGTH ASSURANCE

Every Kenter Shackle is precision-forged and heat-treated to achieve exceptional strength consistency and fatigue resistance. 

The precision machining ensures smooth alignment between chain links, maintaining the structural integrity of the anchor chain assembly.

All shackles are produced in accordance with ISO 1704, ABS, LR, CCS and DNV classification standards, and undergo 100% proof load and magnetic particle inspection.

Request test certificates and approval documents to validate compliance with your project standards.

SUPERIOR CORROSION RESISTANCE FOR MARINE ENVIRONMENTS

Kenter Shackles are surface-treated to withstand prolonged seawater exposure and prevent rust, pitting, or material degradation over time. 

These treatments enhance product life and reduce maintenance in demanding offshore conditions.

Surface protection options include hot-dip galvanizing, black bitumen coating, and zinc-rich epoxy primer, tested to 720-hour salt spray standards.

Ask for corrosion test reports and coating recommendations for your regional seawater conditions.

QUICK ASSEMBLY AND HIGH OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY

The Kenter Shackle’s detachable pin and conical locking design enable easy assembly and disassembly without special tools. 

This makes it ideal for rapid anchor chain replacement or emergency connection at sea.

Each unit is designed with precision taper fit, ensuring tool-free installation and safe load transfer in deep-sea applications.

Request an installation guide or demonstration video to learn how our Kenter Shackles save labor and time during anchor chain maintenance.

DIMENSIONAL ACCURACY AND PERFECT COMPATIBILITY

Our Kenter Shackles are engineered to ensure precise fitting with stud link or studless anchor chains. 

Each piece undergoes strict dimensional calibration to guarantee perfect connection and smooth rotation between adjoining links.

Each shackle is CNC-machined with ±0.2mm tolerance to ensure seamless fit with chains of matching pitch and diameter.
