Factor 55 Line! The Ultimate In Recovery
Strength! |
ProLink Loaded
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" 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" double shear pin. The
front of the ProLink provides the precision
shackle mounting hole and massive 1.2" thick
mounting tab. The ProLink is compatible with
both Hawse and Roller fairleads and snugs neatly
against both versions.
The advantages of
winching with a screw pin shackle over a
conventional winch hook are many. |

About Factor 55
Smart off
roaders have known for years that the most
secure way to use your recovery winch is replace
the hook with a common screw pin shackle. Unless
you are competing, the added seconds required to
use a shackle versus a hook during a vehicle
recovery is not worth the safety risk associated
with standard winch hooks.
What is wrong
with the hook? The technical name for a
standard winch hook is " Clevis Slip Hook". This
describes two things. First, clevis refers to
the method of cable attachment - the cable eye
is attached to the hook by a clevis pin and
cotter pin. Second, "slip" refers to the size of
the chain link that can be slipped through the
hook opening. Most winches are equipped with 3/8
clevis slip hooks. This means that the hook is
designed specifically to work with chains that
have 3/8 thick chain links. Unless you are using
chains in your recovery, this is not the right
piece of hardware to have on the end of your
winch cable. At Factor 55 we are still puzzled
as to why winch manufacturers continue to sell
winches equipped with hooks designed for chain
links when off roaders have been using synthetic
recovery straps for over two decades now.
Benefits: • Stronger • Safer & secure link
-no chance of strap ends escaping • Less stress
on recovery strap fibers • Larger opening
accepts both ends of a recovery strap • No
sharp edges to cut recovery straps • Affordable
pricing for a superior piece of hardware |
