Delta HMPE 1/2" Soft Shackle x 30"

Delta HMPE Soft Shackle – 1/2" Diameter (12mm) x 30" Length

The Delta HMPE Soft Shackle from HMPE Warehouse is a high-strength, ultralight alternative to traditional metal shackles. Built from our 12-strand Delta HMPE® UHMWPE rope, each soft shackle delivers serious working load limits in a package you can hold in one hand — no more lugging around heavy steel hardware that rusts, seizes up, and beats up your equipment.

Each soft shackle is hand-fabricated in the U.S.A. and features Cordura® tubular chafe protection at the wear points, guarding against abrasion where the shackle contacts hooks, eyes, and anchor points during use. The result is a durable, field-proven connection point that stands up to repeated loading cycles in harsh conditions.

UHMWPE fiber won't rust, won't corrode, and won't absorb water — making these soft shackles ideal for marine recovery, off-road vehicle extraction, overland rigging, and any application where metal shackles create problems with weight, corrosion, or potential damage to equipment.

The Delta HMPE rope is coated with pigment dye for UV resistance and easy identification in the field. Every soft shackle is clearly labeled with its working load limit so operators always know the rated capacity at a glance.
