Forelock Shackle for Secure and Reliable Anchor Chain Connections

PRECISION-ENGINEERED FORELOCK SHACKLE FOR MARINE ANCHOR CHAINS

The Forelock Shackle is an essential connecting component used to secure anchor chains to swivels, anchors, or end links. 

Its unique forelock pin design ensures added safety, preventing accidental loosening during heavy mooring or anchoring operations.

Each Forelock Shackle is precision-forged from Grade 2 or Grade 3 alloy steel, with dimensions to fit both commercial and offshore chain assemblies.

ENHANCED SAFETY LOCK MECHANISM FOR EXTREME CONDITIONS

This shackle’s locking forepin design provides superior resistance to vibration and rotational stress, ensuring consistent performance under dynamic marine loads. 

It is widely trusted by shipyards, naval fleets, and offshore operators for its operational safety.

The locking system includes a tapered forepin secured with a stainless steel cotter, eliminating risks of disengagement under load.

Request engineering drawings or testing data to verify product safety and compliance with your marine safety standards.

CERTIFIED QUALITY AND SUPERIOR LOAD CAPACITY

All Forelock Shackles are manufactured and tested in accordance with international marine standards, ensuring top-tier mechanical strength and traceable material quality for every batch.

Each shackle is proof load tested and certified under ABS, DNV, LR, and CCS classification approvals.

Ask for material certificates or test reports to ensure your equipment meets global certification requirements.

ADVANCED ANTI-CORROSION COATING FOR LONG-TERM USE

Designed to withstand harsh marine and offshore environments, the Forelock Shackle features advanced surface protection for extended lifespan and reduced maintenance costs.

Available surface treatments include hot-dip galvanization, black oxide, or epoxy paint coatings tested for over 720 hours of salt spray resistance.

Inquire about our corrosion protection options to match your specific marine environment and budget.

WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS IN MARINE AND OFFSHORE SYSTEMS

Forelock Shackles are ideal for use in ship anchoring systems, mooring lines, and offshore platform connections. 

Their proven reliability and safety design make them a preferred choice across global maritime operations.

Commonly used in bulk carriers, container vessels, oil tankers, and offshore platforms requiring stable chain-to-anchor connections.
