FACTOR 55 FlatLink Folding Winch Shackle Bracket

The FACTOR 55 FlatLink folding winch shackle bracket is a precision-engineered shackle mount machined from 6000-series aluminum for strength and a low-profile folding design that improves approach angle and compact stowage. EPDM rubber guards protect fairleads, prevent rattling and cushion line stowage, and the rope eye is retained by a 5/8 in diameter Grade V titanium pin. Designed for closed-system winching, it works with steel or synthetic ropes without splicing, includes the shackle mount, and carries a 16,000 lb maximum working load with an ultimate failure greater than 40,000 lb. Manufactured and engineered by FACTOR 55 for demanding off-road recoveries and closed-system winching applications.
