Factor 55 FlatLink XTV Winch Shackle Mount for ATV/UTV

The Factor 55 FlatLink XTV Winch Shackle Mount lets ATV and UTV owners replace the standard winch hook with a stronger, safer shackle or D-ring connection. Winch hooks can let strap ends slip out during the loose and tight cycles of a recovery. A screw pin shackle keeps the strap loop secured. This foldable winch shackle mount stows neatly against the fairlead when it is not in use.

Key Features:

• Precision machined from 6000 series aluminum and 6Al-4V titanium
• Works with steel cable or synthetic winch rope up to 5/16 inch in diameter, with no splicing required
• Oval opening accepts the pin or bow end of common 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch screw pin shackles and D-rings, and the pin end of 3/4 inch shackles
• Titanium double-shear pin with a simple snap ring removal for easy installation
• EPDM rubber guard protects alloy fairleads, cushions the mount when stowed and helps stop hook rattle
• Folding, low-profile design fits roller and hawse type fairleads
• Compatible with Closed System Winching, a technique that uses rigging made entirely of closed-link hardware
• Patented design (U.S. Utility Patent No. 9,388,025)

Factor 55 recovery gear is used by search and rescue teams and military operations worldwide. The FlatLink XTV brings that same closed-link approach to powersports winching. It is a practical upgrade for anyone who wants a more secure and fairlead-friendly connection for trail recoveries.
