KENTER LINK / SHACKLE
Kenter link also know as kenter shackle or lugless joining shackle. It is a type of link specifically uses in marine applications, particularly for connecting anchor chains. It is design to join two lengths of chain together while maintaining the strength and integrity of the connection. Kenter links are commonly uses in ship mooring systems, offshore platforms, and other maritime operations.
