The ARB Soft Connect Shackle (ARB2018) is designed for safe and efficient off road recovery, providing a reliable link between your recovery points and straps. Manufactured using high tensile, CE certified, Ultra High Molecule Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) synthetic rope, this soft shackle is rated at a substantial 14.5T (14,500kg) breaking strength, making it suitable for vehicles up to 3.5T GVM.
Key Features:
- Construction: Made from 12mm x 12 strand UHMWPE synthetic rope, a material commonly utilized in high-strength winch rope and tow straps.
- Protection: The UHMWPE rope is encased in an updated high tensile braided shield, significantly improving abrasion resistance and protecting the inner core from cuts and scrapes when the shackle is in use.
- Safety Focus: This type of rope shackle is engineered to function as a controlled fuse in a recovery scenario. Should the load limit be exceeded, it is designed to break before metal recovery components, removing the risk of flying metal projectiles and promoting a safer recovery for bystanders and occupants.
- Flexibility: The flexible design of the arb soft connect shackle allows for easy and secure attachment to the majority of rated off road recovery gear points.
- Properties: The soft shackles are water-resistant, resistant to short-term UV exposure, and designed to float, preventing loss in water or mud.
- Storage: Includes a drawstring carry bag with mesh and nylon to allow for drying, protection, and easy storage in your off road recovery kit.
The unique slide-lock loop design secures the connection by tightening the loop securely around the large ball end knot when tension is applied. This method ensures a strong connection without the need for additional drawstrings.
