Penn Elcom Flush Mount Shackle Backplate, Steel, 2.5 mm, 101 mm x 95 mm

Penn Elcom Flush Mount Shackle Backplate is a 2.5 mm thick steel reinforcement plate designed for use with flush mount shackles, such as the H1435 model.

Overview

This backplate distributes the load from the shackle's mounting fasteners over a wider area of the underlying material. By spreading the force, it helps maintain the integrity of the mounting surface under heavy stress and reduces the risk of damage such as cracking or distortion. The backplate increases the holding strength and rigidity of the tie-down point, supporting the shackle when it is subjected to its maximum intended force.

Key Features

• Material: Steel
• Thickness: 2.5 mm
• Dimensions: 101 mm x 95 mm
• Weight: 180 g
• Distributes fastener load over a wider surface area
• Helps protect the mounting surface under heavy load

Applications

The backplate is intended for demanding applications including transport securing, industrial rigging, and marine applications, where the shackle is loaded to high forces. Its contact area of 101 mm x 95 mm provides a substantial surface for load distribution while keeping a compact form.

The design focuses on function, providing reinforcement for a standard mounting point to create a more robust anchor for high-load tie-down situations.
