"FACTOR 55" FLATLINK WINCH SHACKLE MOUNT GRAY

Replace the traditional winch hook with a safer and stronger FlatLink shackle thimble and D-ring shackle. The FlatLink shackle mount is the industry's first folding shackle mount for recovery winches.

Conventional winch hooks can cut and fray recovery straps, and often the strap ends can escape during the short-term slackening cycles of a typical winch recovery. Bolt-on shackles do not allow strap loops to escape due to the secure attachment. The FlatLink does not require splicing and is compatible with steel or synthetic rope up to 3/8" in diameter. The rope eye is held in the FlatLink by a 5/8" diameter double grade 5 steel shear pin and an internal locking ring. It installs in minutes. The EPDM rubber guard protects the expensive aluminum fairlead, for example, and is securely attached to the FlatLink with 4 barbs. The FlatLink attaches easily to roller or aluminum fairleads and is designed for use with conventional 3/4" shackles.
