D-Lite Shackles are lightweight yet incredibly strong soft shackles made from HMPE fibres and fitted with a steel pin for secure, reliable connections. They offer excellent abrasion, UV and chemical resistance, making them suitable for demanding marine, industrial and recovery applications.
Engineered as a safer and lighter alternative to traditional steel shackles, D-Lite Shackles combine convenience with exceptional strength. Manufactured from 12-strand Stealth Fibre HMPE rope, they deliver an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio and are coated to enhance abrasion resistance and durability. The soft rope construction helps reduce damage to equipment and surfaces, while the steel pin provides a secure attachment point. Each shackle is supplied with an identification tag displaying its working load limit, and the HMPE fibres offer excellent resistance to UV exposure, saltwater and a wide range of chemicals.
D-Lite Shackles are ideal for vehicle recovery, lifting, towing, marine operations and any application requiring a strong, lightweight and easy-to-handle connection point.
