Factor 55 Ultrahook 00250-92 Winch Hook – Closed System, 16,000 lb Load, 48,000 lb Pin Mount, Bronze

Reimagine winching with the Factor 55 Ultrahook 00250-92

The Ultrahook blends speed, security, and smart design for off road recovery on rugged trails. Its bronze finish hints at a purpose built for durability, while the built in closed system shackle mount sits flush in the hook body. A latch pin stored within the hook makes it easy to secure the safety latch and maintain a true closed loop when you need it most. This approach aims to keep the load path contained even as line tension shifts during a recovery, offering a practical upgrade over traditional hooks.

Why choose a closed system winching approach

• Closed loop design reduces exposure to loose or open links, helping maintain a controlled load path during slack or sudden load changes.
• Integrated latch lock pin and safety latch promote secure engagement without additional tools, supporting consistent operation in tough environments.
• Finger grips and EPDM rubber pads guide hook up and protect the fairlead, helping prevent metal-to-metal contact and rattling.
• Designed to work with line diameters up to 3/8 in and folded flat up to 3 in thick, offering compatibility with common winch setups.

Craftsmanship, materials, and performance

• Made from lightweight 7000 series aluminum with precision CNC machining for a robust yet portable profile.
• Includes a 5/8 in diameter aerospace grade 6AI-4V grade V titanium double shear pin for added strength in critical areas.
• EPDM rubber pads provide fairlead protection and help keep the hook quiet during operation.
• Weight around 32 oz, with a maximum load rating of 16,000 lbs and ultimate throat strength of 31,000 lbs, plus a shackle pin mount rated to 48,000 lbs.

Ease of installation and versatile use

• Shackle mount hole is machined into the hook body for quick setup and a secure mounting option anytime you need it.
• The shackle pin mounting hole accepts standard ¾ in pins and soft shackles up to ½ in for flexible rigging choices.
• Use the Ultrahook as a conventional hook or as a shackle mount without rope splicing; the double shear pin design accommodates rope or cable eyes for both steel and synthetic winch lines.

Real-world scenarios

Whether you are navigating rocky trails, deep mud, or steep embankments, the Ultrahook offers a practical blend of strength and simplicity. It supports reliable hook up, controlled loads, and a tidy setup that reduces rattling and gear misalignment. Consider it as a potential upgrade to existing winching gear when you want a dedicated closed system approach that travels well on off road expeditions.
