This Coast to Coast 10mm dee shackle gives your tow setup a rated link for light trailers up to 1 tonne, so you can hook safety chains to the tow bar without guesswork. The 3/8 inch pin size lines up well with common caravan and box trailer chain links, so you get a snug fit that stays put when you tackle corrugated roads or boat ramps. The shackle runs a galvanised steel body with a 10mm threaded pin, so it stands up well to spray, dust and everyday knocks. The 1 tonne working load limit is clearly stamped, which makes it a smart buy when you want gear that matches the numbers on your trailer plate. This bit of kit sits in the coupling path, doing simple but important work every time you get out there.

Q: Is this dee shackle suitable for trailers over 1 tonne?

No, this dee shackle is rated to 1 tonne only. You should match the shackle rating to the trailer ATM or higher, as marked by the manufacturer. For trailers above 1000kg, choose shackles with a higher working load limit. Always follow local road rules for towing hardware.

Q: What size chain does the 10mm pin work with?

The 10mm pin suits many light trailer and caravan safety chains with similar link dimensions. The 3/8 inch (around 10mm) diameter gives a snug fit through common stamped chain links. Always check the chain tag and link size before use. The pin should pass cleanly without forcing or binding.

Q: Can I use this shackle in marine environments?

Yes, the galvanised steel construction handles occasional marine and coastal use. The zinc coating helps reduce surface rust compared with bare steel. Rinsing with fresh water after salt exposure will extend service life. Inspect the shackle regularly and replace it if heavy corrosion appears.

Q: How many of these shackles do I need for a trailer?

Most small trailers and caravans use one rated dee shackle per safety chain. Many setups run two chains, so they typically need two shackles. Check your tow bar and coupling layout to confirm how many connection points you have. Always follow any local regulations about safety chain connections.
