1/2 inch Synthetic Soft Shackle Recovery Rope - Red

Product Overview

This 1/2 inch synthetic soft shackle is a lightweight alternative to a steel bow shackle for off-road recovery and general rigging. Made from synthetic fibre rope, it can be looped through recovery points, snatch straps and winch eyes and then locked with its knot, without the weight or stored energy of a metal shackle. It is popular with 4x4 owners, and the supplier also lists marine, farming and industrial applications.

• Synthetic fibre construction

Vehicle Compatibility

This is a universal recovery accessory and is not vehicle-specific. It must only be used with rated recovery points designed for vehicle recovery, never with tow balls or tie-down points. Please confirm it suits your recovery gear before ordering.
