Product Overview
The Alloy Winch Shackle is designed to replace traditional winch hooks by providing a safer and smarter option that tightly holds the winch rope against the fairlead. Its larger radius end reduces risk of rope damage compared to sharper-edged alternatives. Weighing just over 800 grams with a slim 37mm thickness, it maintains winch rope integrity while minimising weight on the vehicle.
Finished locally with premium Australian-applied Cerakote ceramic coatings, the shackle offers long-lasting UV resistance and a range of colour options that enhance both durability and appearance. Its high load rating and precision manufacturing ensure reliability under demanding recovery conditions for 4×4 users.
Technology & Materials
Manufactured from aircraft grade 7075 aluminium, the Alloy Winch Shackle balances exceptional strength with low weight. The winch rope eye is secured by a 16mm 304 stainless steel pin combined with an internal circlip for reliable retention. The shackle features an Australian-finished Cerakote ceramic coating that provides strong UV stability and a hard-wearing surface. A rubber fairlead engagement pad softly contacts aluminium fairleads to protect surfaces during use.
Installation & Compatibility
Installation is quick and straightforward with the pin and circlip retention system. The design is compatible with all 4×4 vehicles and intended for use with standard winch fairleads and soft shackles, enhancing recovery operations without additional modifications.
Suitable for a broad range of off-road applications, this shackle is designed for reliable performance under heavy load and recovery use.
