Product Overview
The Wedge provides an ergonomic and safer alternative to traditional winch hooks by optimising the support for soft shackles and avoiding sharp edges that can damage ropes. Its channel design reduces wear on the rope, while the integrated rope protection further shields the rope thimble from impact and damage.
Constructed from aircraft grade aluminium, the Wedge combines strength with light weight and is coated with Cerakote™ ceramic coating that ensures strong UV resistance and a hardwearing finish. Rated to a minimum breaking strain of 22,000kg, it is among the strongest winch shackles available.

Its surface is treated with an Australian applied Cerakote™ ceramic coating that offers durable protection against UV exposure and wear, ensuring longevity in tough conditions.
Installation & Compatibility
The Wedge is designed for use exclusively with soft shackles and integrates with Rubber Fairlead Engagement Pads to protect fairlead surfaces. Its design simplifies rope management and improves handling when dragging rope over tracks.
