Overview

Meet the Factor 55 FlatLink Original Folding Winch Shackle Bracket. This folding version refines the classic shackle design, sitting closer to the bumper for a lower profile, improved approach angle, and reduced snag risk on rugged trails. It supports both steel and synthetic winch lines and does not require rope splicing, helping installers streamline their recovery setup.

Why choose FlatLink

  • Low-profile geometry enhances clearance on tight, off-road routes.
  • Lightweight yet rugged construction keeps your recovery kit efficient without sacrificing strength.
  • Backed by precise machining and high-grade materials for reliable performance under demanding conditions.

Design and materials

  • Machined from 6000-series aluminum for strength and corrosion resistance.
  • Rope eye retained with a 5/8" diameter 6AI-4V grade titanium eye for a secure fit.
  • EPDM rubber guards attach with four barbed tips to cushion line storage and prevent rattling.
  • Double-shear pin and internal snap ring deliver an ultra-secure connection in a compact package.

Performance and safety

  • Max load rating: 16,000 lbs; ultimate failure greater than 40,000 lbs.
  • Less than 1.75" thick when folded flat, preserving vehicle clearance and approach angles.
  • Weight: 23 oz; engineered, tested, and made in the USA.
  • Compatible with both steel and synthetic winch lines without the need to splice.

Real-world use

In everyday 4x4 scenarios, FlatLink helps you create a discreet yet solid anchor point for controlled recoveries. The folding design reduces clutter around the winch line, while the durable hardware and protected fairleads support repeatable use across varied terrains — from rocky passages to sandy washes.

What to expect on install and maintenance

Install is straightforward with standard mounting holes, and the closed-system compatibility gives you a cohesive hardware setup for serious recoveries. Regular inspection of the guards and pins will help maintain smooth operation over time.
