FlatLink Folding Winch Shackle Bracket

The Factor 55 FlatLink is the original folding winch shackle bracket, engineered to offer a superior alternative to traditional winch hooks. Its innovative folding design results in a lower profile and improved approach angles compared to other shackle mounts. Constructed from precision-machined 6000 series aluminum, the FlatLink boasts a robust build designed for demanding recovery operations. It secures with a high-strength, aerospace-grade double-shear titanium pin and internal snap ring, ensuring an ultrasecure connection that can be installed in minutes. The bracket has a maximum load rating of 16,000 lbs, with an ultimate failure point exceeding 40,000 lbs, making it suitable for heavy-duty use. EPDM rubber guards are integrated to cushion line stowage, protect fairleads, and prevent rattling, attaching securely with four barbed tips. This product is compatible with Factor 55's Closed System Winching® technique, which utilizes exclusively closed-link hardware for enhanced security and confidence during winch recoveries. The FlatLink itself is engineered, tested, and made in the USA.
