Compact Shackles

Introduction

DMM Compact Shackles are high-strength, secure connectors designed for professional riggers, climbers, and outdoor enthusiasts. These versatile shackles are ideal for creating multi-directional links in ropes, webbing, and other rigging systems.

Key Features:

• Lightweight: Constructed from hot-forged aluminium, DMM Compact Shackles are exceptionally lightweight without sacrificing strength. This makes them perfect for applications where weight is a critical factor, such as climbing, mountaineering, and weight-sensitive rigging.
• Strong and Secure: Despite their compact size, DMM Compact Shackles boast an impressive Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) of 26kN. The double Allen key locking mechanism ensures a secure connection, giving you peace of mind when dealing with heavy loads.
• Tamper Resistant: The double Allen key locking system discourages accidental opening and deters tampering, making them ideal for use in professional settings.
• Textile-Friendly: The smooth design of the shackle minimizes wear on ropes, webbing, and slings, ensuring your rigging components last longer.
• Two Shapes Available: DMM Compact Shackles come in two shapes: D-shaped (SW410) and Bow-shaped (SW420). The D-shape offers optimal stability for single connections, while the Bow-shape provides more flexibility for complex rigging systems due to its ability to handle cross-loading.

• Climbing: Create secure connections between ropes, slings, and anchors.
• Rigging: Set up complex lifting systems and haul heavy loads.
• Rescue: Secure lines during search and rescue operations.
• Arboriculture: Build rigging systems for tree work.

With their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, secure locking mechanism, and user-friendly design, DMM Compact Shackles are a reliable and versatile choice for professionals and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
