Product Advantage
✔ Ultra high strength: The fracture strength can reach 10000~30000 pounds (4.5~13.6 tons), meeting the rescue needs of heavy-duty off-road vehicles.
✔ Lightweight and durable: weighing only 1/5 of a metal shackle, easy to carry, and rust free, corrosion-resistant, and UV resistant.
✔ Safe and reliable: No risk of metal splashing, avoiding secondary injury in case of force fracture.
✔ Protecting the vehicle: Made of soft material that does not damage the winch, trailer hook, or body paint, suitable for multi angle towing.
✔ Wide compatibility: Suitable for various rescue equipment such as winches, trailer belts, rescue ropes, D-rings, etc.

Product Applications
Synthetic soft shackles are versatile, high-strength solutions for recovery, rigging, and load management. Made from ultra-strong fibers like Dyneema®, they outperform metal shackles in safety, weight, and corrosion resistance.
Off-Road Recovery: Safe for winching and towing, with no damage to vehicles or ropes.
Marine: Corrosion-proof, floats in water, ideal for anchors and rigging.
Industrial: Spark-free, non-conductive, perfect for lifting and cargo securement.
Agriculture: Rust-resistant for tractors, hay bales, and field repairs.
Military/Tactical: Lightweight, silent, and reliable in extreme conditions.
Overlanding/Camping: Compact and strong for tents, recovery, and gear tie-downs.
Product Operate Guide
Check for Damage: Look for cuts, fraying, or excessive wear on fibers.
Verify Load Rating: Ensure the shackle’s WLL (Working Load Limit) matches your recovery needs.
Clean if Dirty: Remove dirt/sand that could cause abrasion.
Loop Positioning: Pass the soft shackle’s loop through the anchor point (D-ring, tow hook, etc.).
Secure the Knot: Tighten the shackle’s knot by pulling the free end firmly.
Avoid Sharp Edges: Use edge protectors if contacting rough surfaces.
Align Load Evenly: Prevent side-loading or twisting.
Monitor Tension: Stay within the WLL—never exceed 1/3 of the breaking strength.
No Shock Loads: Apply force gradually (no jerking).
Rinse if Wet: Use fresh water after saltwater/mud exposure.
Dry Thoroughly: Store in a cool, dry place away from UV when not in use.
Retire if Worn: Replace if fibers appear damaged or stretched.
