Factor 55 The FlatLink shackle mount is the Industry?s first folding shackle mount for recovery winches that eliminates the conventional winch hook and provides a precision shackle mounting hole

Eliminate the conventional winch hook and replace it with a safer and stronger FlatLink. The Industry?s first folding shackle mount for recovery winches. With less than 1.75 inches of thickness, the Flatlink will work with all roller fairlead license plate mounting brackets. Conventional winch hooks can cut and fray recovery straps and often allow strap ends to escape during momentary slack cycles of a typical winching recovery. Screw pin or soft shackles do not allow strap loops to escape under slack conditions. The FlatLink does not require splicing and is compatible with steel cables or synthetic ropes up to 3/8 inches in diameter. It is installed easily in minutes. Stows neatly against either roller or Hawse type fairleads. The EPDM Rubber Guards protect alloy fairleads and are securely attached with 4 barbed tips. MADE IN THE USA, the FlatLink is constructed of 6000 series billet aluminum.
