    Description

    ABL Soft Shackles™

    ABL Soft Shackles™ are manufactured using high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE) fibre. A yellow polymer coating is standard with other colours available by request. Soft shackles are an excellent alternative to steel shackles in many applications, as they are very light weight and offer extremely high strength with very little stretch. HMPE fibre is approximately 7 times lighter than wire rope and steel of the same size, remains flexible, stores compactly and greatly reduces the chances of injuries in many applications.

    Characteristics

    • Extremely high strength
    • Light weight (1/7 weight of steel)
    • Abrasion resistant
    • Low stretch
    • Floats in water
    • Flexible

    Applications

    • Choker Hitch
    • Basket Hitch
    • Rigging Lines
    • Steel shackle replacement
