Overview

Describe：

Kenter Joining Shackle, also known as a Kenter Link, is a crucial component used in marine and offshore operations, specifically for to connect two ends of anchor chains.Its design ensures secure and robust connections, which are essential for the safety and efficiency of anchoring and mooring systems.And made from high-strength steel, Kenter Shackles are designed to withstand the heavy loads and harsh marine environments.

Assembly Process

1.Align the two chain links that need to be connected.

2.Insert the two halves of the Kenter Shackle into the chain links.

3.Insert the locking pin through the aligned holes of the shackle halves.

4.Secure the pin with a locking stud or similar mechanism to ensure the pin does not slide out.
