The SecureFix Direct 18mm High Tensile Square Head Dee Shackle is an essential hardware component designed for professional marine, industrial, and fishing environments where snag-free operation is critical. It is ideal for users who need a robust connection point that minimizes the risk of damage to sensitive gear, though it is strictly prohibited for any overhead lifting or load-bearing applications.

No, this shackle is strictly not intended for lifting applications. Using it for overhead lifting is dangerous and violates product safety guidelines.
The square head is designed to prevent snagging on nets and equipment, which is a common requirement in the trawling and fishing industry.
Self-colour means the steel is left in its natural state after the forging process without extra coatings like galvanization, requiring more frequent lubrication.
The shackle features an 18mm gauge, with a 60mm overall length and a 34.5mm width. Refer to the full specifications for detailed E and F measurements.
It can be used in marine environments, but you must maintain it with protective grease or anti-corrosion coatings to prevent rust, as it lacks a galvanized finish.
Check the threads for debris or grit from the environment. Clean the threads with a wire brush and apply a small amount of lubricant.
Remove existing rust with a steel wool pad and apply a thin layer of marine-grade protective oil or grease.
To ensure the longevity of your SecureFix Direct Dee Shackle, verify that the pin threads are fully engaged before applying tension. Given the self-colour finish, the steel is susceptible to rust if exposed to saltwater environments without protection. It is highly recommended to coat the shackle in a protective marine grease or anti-corrosion spray if used near salt spray. When tightening the square head pin, use an appropriate wrench or tool to ensure it is seated correctly, but avoid over-torquing the threads to prevent binding. Periodically inspect the shackle for signs of stress, thread wear, or structural deformation after every high-use cycle.
