Factor 55 Extreme Duty Soft Shackle

The Factor 55 Extreme Duty Soft Shackle is a lightweight synthetic recovery shackle. It replaces common steel screw pin and bow shackles for winching, towing and heavy-duty recovery rigging. It is a one-piece soft shackle with no pin to lose or seize, so it is easy to handle, connect and disconnect in the field.

Key Features:

• Made from HMPE (UHMWPE) plasma rope, which has a high strength-to-weight ratio
• Woven polyester protective jacket, whipped and coated with Fiber Lock, resists abrasion and UV
• The jacket is attached close to the knot to give the knot as much abrasion protection as possible
• Lab and field tested for consistent, repeatable minimum breaking strength values
• Factor 55 reports 25-30% higher verified breaking strength than common standard soft shackles
• Working load limit and minimum breaking strength are clearly marked
• Engineered, tested and made in the USA

A soft shackle is lighter and more flexible than a comparable steel shackle. It is also gentler on surrounding gear if a component fails under load. Each size in the line is rated for a different class of vehicle or equipment, so you can match the shackle to the job.
