We are proud to introduce the ARB Soft Connect Shackle to he comprehensive ARB Recovery product range. Our new soft shackle is manufactured using UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecule Weight Polyethylene) a high tensile CE certified rope used in many synthetic rope applications like winches and purpose-built tow straps.

To provide protection to the UHMWPE rope used, the shackle is encased in a Hypalon sleeve. Hypalon provides excellent abrasion resistance and shields against cuts and abrasions to the UHMWPE rope. The soft shackle connection is formed by passing the large ball end knot through the open loop, the loop tightens around the knot when used and pulls securely against the large formed knot during the recovery. Moreover, the loop tightens securely around the knot forming the connection. The ARB Soft Connect Shackle is suitable for vehicles up to 7700lbs. ARB’s Soft Connect Shackle acts as a fuse in a recovery situation, breaking generally before any rated metal components it’s attached too should break at.
