Shackle Shield 4-Pack (Orange & Black) - By MAXTRAX
SKU: MTXSS4P
The MAXTRAX Shackle Shield is designed to act as a protective sheath that slides over the MAXTRAX Core and MAXTRAX Fuse Recovery Shackles to offer extra protection from abrasions and sharp-edged recovery points, prolonging soft recovery shackle life and enhancing safety.
Pack of 4 Shackle Shields - 2x Black & 2x Orange.
Please Note: MAXTRAX Shackle not included & must be purchased separately.
Current Independent Recovery Points and Recovery points incorporated into bullbars have frequently been manufactured with a 90-degree edge which is not recommended for soft shackle use as can damage rope fibres during recoveries.
MAXTRAX Shackle Shield is compatible with any soft shackle brand on the market & can be retro fitted to soft shackle ropes with a diameter up to 14mm (not including woven cover sheaths).
Removing the need to rely on using metal bow shackles in many vehicle recovery situations, making for a lighter, metal free vehicle recovery solution. Manufactured using a thermoplastic polyurethane designed to be flexible while maintaining strength to protect the fibres of the soft shackle.
Using the unique “U” shaped design the MAXTRAX Shackle Shield is developed to reduce tight radius contraction under load, protecting soft shackle rope fibres & potentially extending the soft shackle lifespan.
Adding the MAXTRAX Shackle Shield to the MAXTRAX Recovery System range continues to support the MAXTRAX ethos around safety while developing simple, easy to use products complementing our current vehicle recovery systems.
Size: 80mm L, 42mm W, 22mm H
The all-new MAXTRAX Recovery System! After decades of 4x4ing in tough Aussie conditions and witnessing close calls with flying metal during recoveries, MAXTRAX knew there had to be a safer way.
If you travel often enough, chances are you’ll need more than recovery boards and the ability to air down for recovering your rig. The MAXTRAX Recovery System is the revolutionary range of modern 4×4 recovery gear that aids safer recoveries.
THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE MAXTRAX RECOVERY SYSTEM
The goal of the MAXTRAX Recovery System was to offer a safer, stronger and smarter do it all range of recovery gear.
Here's how they did it:
1. Reduction of metal in recovery components.
Steel shackles and other bulky gear becomes extremely dangerous at velocity if systems fail, so the majority of these have been replaced with high quality soft shackles.
2. Any metal components made with high safety factors.
The metal parts that remain in the system are over engineered and rated to ensure they are never the point of failure.
3. Build in a predictable point of failed if the system was overloaded.
By introducing the MAXTRAX Fuse Shackle, which is designed to be the controlled failure point if the system is overloaded.
The complete system includes the following options:
- MAXTRAX Core Shackle (quality soft shackle removes the need to use traditional steel shackles)
- MAXTRAX Fuse Shackle (quality soft shackle that is designed to be the planned weak point of the system)
- MAXTRAX Kinetic Rope – 2m, 3m, 5m or 10m (the stronger, improved snatch strap alternative)
- MAXTRAX Static Rope – 3m (to be used as a load spreading bridle, tree protector or extension)
- MAXTRAX Winch Rope – 30m (the safer option replacement synthetic rope for your winch)
- MAXTRAX Rope Dampener (to be used to absorb any force in the unlikely case of a sudden breakage)
- MAXTRAX Hitch 50 (tow bar hitch mounted recovery point specifically for soft shackles)
- MAXTRAX Winch Ring (for safer double line winching)
- MAXTRAX Recovery Kit Bag (a heavy duty storage bag to house the whole recovery system)
