The BOSS SHACKLE is extremely versatile, easy to use and lightweight (360g). Unlike traditional metal shackles the BOSS SHACKLE helps to eliminate risk and floats on water.

• High molecular weight polyethylene creates maximum strength-to-weight ratio
• 20,000kg minimum breaking strength
• Low elongation minimal stretch
• Floats on water
• Water, UV and abrasion resistant

FEATURES

Key Information and safety recommendations

• It is recommended that persons intending to recover vehicles by using a soft shackle (and/or strap/rope) should consider completing a nationally recognised 4WD training course for comprehensive advice on the proper selection and use of the shackle
• Do not use the shackle for lifting or towing
• Ensure that the shackle is not damaged and is in a useable condition prior to recovery techniques being employed.
• Note: the shackles strength and stretch are reduced when saturated with water.
• If also using a strap/rope, an object such as a recovery damper, heavy bag or blanket must be draped over the strap/rope to reduce any unintentional rebound of the strap/rope.
• Before attempting the vehicle recovery, passengers of the vehicles must:
  • exit the vehicles; and
  • stand as far away from the vehicles as the length of the strap/rope being used and;
  • do not stand in the path of the vehicle performing the recovery.
• The gross vehicle mass (GVM) of the vehicles being used should be known. The minimum breaking strength of the shackle should be between 2 and 3 times the GVM of any vehicle it is used with.
• The shackle must be suited to the GVM of the lighter of the 2 vehicles used in the recovery process.
