MAXTRAX Shackle Shields

MAXTRAX Shackle Shields DESCRIPTION

*MAXTRAX Fuse Shackle not included.

The MAXTRAX Shackle Shield is designed to act as a protective sheath that slides over the MAXTRAX Core and Fuse shackles to offer extra protection from abrasions and sharp-edged recovery points, prolonging soft shackle life and enhancing safety.

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 withany 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).

The MAXTRAX Shackle Shield removes 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.  

The MAXTRAX Shackle Shield is available in 3 (three) packaging options:

MAXTRAX Twin pack Orange (2 x Safety Orange Shackle Shields)

MAXTRAX Twin pack Black (2 x Black Shackle Shields)

MAXTRAX Quad pack (2 x Safety Orange, 2 x Black Shackle Shields)

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.
