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.
