TYLASKA MARINE HARDWARE
Trigger Snap Shackles - Standard Bail
Stainless Steel
Tylaska shackles are meticulously designed and computer optimized using the latest finite element CAD software. Aerospace grade 15-5 PH stainless steel construction gives Tylaska shackles the ultimate in strength-to-weight ratios. The precision engineered, American-made shackles are constructed to near-military specifications. Tylaska's patented mathematical curvature of the release mechanism allows the shackles to be easily opened, even under tremendous loads.
From the detailed assembly, finishing and individual testing of each unit, Tylaska shackles provide discriminating sailors the ultimate in strength, performance and durability. Many years of design and rigorous testing have created a series of shackles that provide a standard of quality previously unavailable.
Tylaska snap shackles are perfect for applications requiring high strength and low weight. We offer them in sizes for boats ranging from 20-30 feet up to 60-80 feet. Breaking strengths of these shackles range from 5,000 pounds for the T5 all the way up to 30,000 pounds for the T30.
