Product Overview
Replace conventional winch hooks with the new safer, stronger, and smarter Factor 55 ProLink shackle mount. Factor 55 introduces the new ProLink shackle mount for winch cables and synthetic ropes. Engineered and machined in the USA from lightweight billet 6061 aluminum, the ProLink provides a safe means to easily attach a standard 3/4" screw pin shackle to existing winch cable and rope eyes The cable or rope eye is captured into the body of the ProLink by a removable oversized 5/8" double shear pin. The front of the ProLink provides the precision shackle mounting hole and massive 1.2" thick mounting tab. The ProLink is compatible with both Hawse and Roller fairleads and snugs neatly against both versions. The advantages of winching with a screw pin shackle over a conventional winch hook are many : Screw pin shackles are up to 5X stronger than conventional winch hooks Conventional hooks are too small to safely fit both ends of a recovery strap Recover straps cannot slip out of a shackle like they can with hooks Hook safety latches are not rated for loads and can tear recovery straps Conventional hook surfaces add higher stresses to recovery strap fibers, resulting in decreased strap ratings Shackles can be quickly removed and stowed away until needed for winching Warning: This product can expose you to chemicals which is [are] known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
