Description
HOPEX™ Soft Shackle – UHMWPE Rope Shackle
The HOPEX™ soft shackle is made from high-modulus HMPE rope in a 12-strand construction. It offers superior strength, durability and versatility, and is stronger than steel shackles of the same weight.
It is lightweight, rust-free and floats, and connects quickly to a wide range of synthetic ropes. Because it is soft, it gives smoother line movement and causes no damage to mooring ropes or the ship, which also saves cost.
