ARB Soft Connect Shackle 14.5T - High Tensile UHMWPE Synthetic Rope for Vehicle Recovery

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. Rated at 14.5T breaking strength, the ARB Soft Connect Shackle is engineered to float in water, be resistant to short-term UV radiation, and provide superior strength. Updating the protection to the UHMWPE rope in the ARB soft shackle, the UHMWPE synthetic rope is encased in a high tensile, braided shield. The braided shield improves abrasion resistance to protect the UHMWPE synthetic rope and further protect against cuts and abrasions when in use. 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 is suitable for vehicles up to 3.5T GVM and has a breaking strain of 14.5T. 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.

Ensure safe and reliable recovery operations with the ARB Soft Connect Shackle, part number ARB2018. Crafted from CE-certified high tensile UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) synthetic rope, this shackle offers a robust 14.5-ton breaking strength, making it suitable for vehicles up to 3.5 tons gross vehicle mass. Its design incorporates a braided outer shield that enhances abrasion resistance and provides protection against cuts and environmental damage, while the UV-resistant and water-resistant properties allow it to withstand challenging outdoor conditions. The floatation capability ensures versatility in water recovery scenarios, reducing the risk of loss during water-based recoveries. The large ball-end knot and open loop design facilitate secure attachment, tightening automatically during use to form a reliable connection that minimizes slippage or accidental release. The shackle acts as a safety fuse in recovery situations, typically breaking before metal components, preventing dangerous flying debris and ensuring safety for all personnel involved. Its flexibility allows attachment to most rated recovery points, and the updated slide lock loop obviates the need for a drawstring, simplifying storage and handling. The included drawstring mesh and nylon carry bag facilitate easy storage, protection, and drying after use, extending the lifespan of the shackle. This soft shackle is an essential addition to any recovery kit, providing a safer and more versatile alternative to traditional steel shackles and ensuring peace of mind during recovery operations. Always follow proper recovery procedures and prioritize safety to prevent injury and equipment damage.
