Soft Connect Shackle ARB is rated at 14,5 t breaking strength and suitable for vehicles up to 3,5 t, the ARB Soft Connect Shackle is engineered to float in water and provide superior strength during recovery missions.
Soft shackles are synthetic connectors suitable as fastening loops for hooks, snatch blocks, snatch straps, tow ropes, or tree saver straps, they are strong and safe when pulling cars (and jerking stuck 4x4 vehicles), and are suitable for connecting kinetic snatch straps/tow ropes to each other to make it longer. Easy to transport, doesn't rattle in the vehicle, doesn't sink, and the connecting parts don't get lost, as is often the case with metal shackles. Soft shackles are not suitable for connecting points with sharp edges.
Staying safe is paramount in recovery situations, and having properly rated gear is key. The ARB Soft Connect Shackle has been updated with UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecule Weight Polyethylene) high tensile, CE certified, synthetic rope. UHMWPE rope is used in many of the synthetic rope applications on winches and purpose-built tow straps. The larger soft shackle connection is formed by passing the large ball end knot through the open loop, the loop then tightens around the knot when used and pulls securely against the large formed knot during recovery. The knot cannot let go and loop tightens securely around the knot forming the connection. The ARB Soft Connect Shackle acts as a fuse in a recovery situation, breaking generally before any rated metal components that it is attached to should break. This removes flying metal projectiles in recovery situations and provides a safer recovery for persons involved in the recovery and bystanders. The Soft Connect Shackle also provides flexibility for attaching your strap to a rated recovery point. Always follow correct recovery procedures and put safety for you and everyone else first before attempting any recovery. Protecting and storing your ARB Soft Connect Shackle when not in use is done with the included drawstring carry bag. The bag incorporates a mesh and nylon case to allow for sufficient drying as well as protecting and providing easy storage in your recovery kit.
