ProLink E Expert Shackle Mount Assembly Black Factor 55

Replace conventional winch hooks with the new safer, stronger, and smarter Factor 55 ProLink shackle mount. Factor 55 introduces the new ProLink shackle mount for winch cables and synthetic ropes. Engineered and machined in the USA from lightweight billet 6061 aluminum, the ProLink provides a safe means to easily attach a standard 3/4 inch screw pin shackle to existing winch cable and rope eyes

The cable or rope eye is captured into the body of the ProLink by a removable oversized 5/8 inch double shear pin. The front of the ProLink provides the precision shackle mounting hole and massive 1.2 inch thick mounting tab.

The ProLink is compatible with both Hawse and Roller fairleads and snugs neatly against both versions.
Product Specifications:

• Color: Silver
• Screw pin shackles are up to 5X stronger than conventional winch hooks
• Conventional hooks are too small to safely fit both ends of a recovery strap
• Recover straps cannot slip out of a shackle like they can with hooks
• Hook safety latches are not rated for loads and can tear recovery straps
• Conventional hook surfaces add higher stresses to recovery strap fibers, resulting in decreased strap ratings
• Shackles can be quickly removed and stowed away until needed for winching.
• Hooks do not cinch neatly against fairleads and are prone to rattling and loosening
• Conventional winch hooks are designed for chains – not commonly used recovery straps
• Engineered, Tested, and Made in USA — Patent Pending
• Stress analyzed using COSMOS FEA and destructively tested for confirmation
• Billet construction — precision machined from 6061-T6 Kaiser Aluminum round bar
• 16,000 pound max load rating

The Factor 55 ProLink XXL is the largest and strongest ProLink winch shackle mount in production. The ProLink XXL provides winch owners with a means to replace the conventional winch hook with a safer and stronger screw pin shackle/D-ring.

Like all models in the ProLink family, the XXL is engineered and made in the USA from 6000 series billet aluminum and is equipped with a 6Al-4V titanium double shear pin. In this case the shear pin diameter is .750 inches. The base of the XXL is protected by the barbed high durometer EPDM rubber guard. With a working load limit of 24,000 pounds and an ultimate failure of over 63,000 pounds, the Prolink XXL is definitely up to the task.
