ARB Soft Connect Shackle 

Equip your recovery kit with the ARB Soft Connect Shackle to ensure safer, more efficient vehicle extractions. When you venture into the sweeping dunes or rugged wadis of the UAE, having reliable gear is a necessity. This 14.5-tonne capacity shackle replaces heavy, traditional metal bow shackles with a high-strength, lightweight synthetic rope alternative. Off-roading in the Emirates often involves unpredictable terrain where line failures can happen. By using a soft connection point, you significantly reduce the risk of injury or vehicle damage if a strap snaps under tension. It is a vital component for secure and effective overland recoveries.

Enhanced Safety and Recovery Flexibility

Upgrading your off-road setup with the ARB Soft Connect Shackle provides distinct advantages during demanding recovery operations. Traditional steel shackles are heavy and carry serious risks if a tow strap breaks, acting as a dangerous projectile. In contrast, this synthetic rope solution absorbs energy and drops safely to the ground, especially when combined with a recovery damper.

• Extreme Breaking Strength: Engineered to handle massive loads, the 14.5-tonne capacity delivers dependable pulling power for heavily loaded 4x4 vehicles.

• Lightweight and Floatable: Unlike heavy metal alternatives, this shackle is remarkably light and floats on water, making it easy to retrieve during wet or muddy recoveries.

• Vehicle Protection: The soft material will not rattle against your bumper or scratch your vehicle's paintwork, protecting your recovery points from unnecessary wear and tear.

• Corrosion Resistance: Woven from premium synthetic fibers, it eliminates the rust issues associated with steel shackles, ensuring longevity even in humid or salty conditions.

• Easy Handling: The flexible design allows you to thread it through tight recovery points easily and secure it quickly without the need for tools or struggling with seized metal pins.

Built for the Emirates Landscape

Whether you are tackling the deep, shifting sands of the Empty Quarter or navigating the rocky trails of the Hajar Mountains, the ARB Soft Connect Shackle adapts to your environment. During desert camping trips, a bogged-down vehicle requires a swift, secure pull out of soft sand; this soft shackle connects quickly to your kinetic rope without adding dead weight. If you are exploring coastal tracks near the Arabian Gulf, the water-resistant, floatable design means you will not lose your gear if it drops into the tide. It is a versatile tool for every regional expedition.
