D-Lite Shackles are lightweight yet incredibly strong soft shackles made from HMPE fibres. They won’t rust, float on water and offer high abrasion, UV and chemical resistance.
Engineered to replace heavy steel shackles, D-Lite Shackles combine convenience and strength. Made from 12-strand Stealth Fibre HMPE rope, they deliver a high strength-to-weight ratio and are covered with a protective coating to reduce abrasion. The soft construction means they won’t scratch equipment, and they float, making retrieval easy if dropped overboard. Each shackle is spliced with an ID tag showing its working load limit, and the HMPE fibres resist UV, saltwater and chemicals.
D-Lite Shackles are perfect for vehicle recovery, lifting, towing and any situation where you need a strong, lightweight connector.
