MMs® Shackle, The Anchoring & Mooring Revolution
High-Performance (High Load) overmolded textile shackle "The strength of Dyneema®, the protection of polymer: a new-generation mooring system"
Concept description: The MMs® mooring shackle redefines marine safety standards by combining the absolute lightness of textile with the robustness of technical polymers. Specially designed for the harshest marine conditions, this "High Load" shackle uses a Dyneema® fiber core to offer breaking loads superior to traditional steel systems. Its major innovation lies in its PE-HD (High Density Polyethylene) overmolding, creating an impenetrable barrier against abrasion and mechanical wear under immersion.
Reliability & Safety Locking: To counter repeated tension and release cycles (chop, currents, tides), MMs® incorporates the Twist-Lock® system. This device is secured by a high-resistance Velcro® lock (Polypropylene & Velours PA), guaranteeing infallible closure with no risk of accidental opening.
Features & Benefits :
Integral protection: PE-HD overmolding protects the structural fiber from external aggression, chain scuffing and colonization by micro-organisms (shellfish).
Total inalterability: 100% insensitive to corrosion, it never rusts and requires no greasing, unlike stainless steel or galvanized solutions.
Hull preservation: Its textile and polymer structure eliminates noisy shocks and scratches on the bow or paintwork during maneuvers.
Marine Ergonomics: Ultra-fast, tool-free handling, even with gloves, wet hands or in intense cold conditions.
Areas of application :
Mooring & Anchoring: Secure connection between hawsers, quay rings and mooring boxes (buoys).
Beaconing & Aquaculture: Preferred solution for securing signal buoys and marine parks over the long term.
Marine Works: High-performance connector for lifting and heavy-duty traction in saline environments.
Technical specifications
Materials: Structural core in Dyneema® / Protective sheath in PE-HD thermoplastic polymer.
Closing system: Twist-Lock® with integrated Velcro® security.
Conformity: Designed to meet the requirements of Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC for linking accessories.
Versions: Range available in several sizes to cover a wide spectrum of breaking loads.
Lab Innovation Tip
Simplify your mooring line. MMs® is the ideal connector to link your chain to your rope. Its flexibility absorbs dynamic shocks, protecting your windlass and mooring cleats from sudden tension peaks.
