FlatLink E Winch Shackle Mount Black (00080-04)

In Black, the FlatLink E gives experienced winch operators a low profile folding shackle mount with a pear shaped hole that is more versatile than the standard FlatLink opening. Rated to 16,000 lb with ultimate failure above 40,000 lb, it installs in minutes with no splicing on steel or synthetic winch line up to 3/8 in. The wider opening also lets a shackle rotate and side load during a slack moment, so the maker recommends the standard FlatLink for recreational use and the E for operators who actively watch their rigging.

Features

• Replaces the winch hook with a stronger shackle or D-ring mount that folds into the fairlead when stowed.
• Large pear shaped mounting hole takes a screw pin shackle by its pin or its bow, plus most OEM recovery points.
• Works with 3/4 in screw pin shackles and soft shackles up to 3/4 in.
• No splicing needed, suits steel or synthetic winch line up to 3/8 in.
• Line eye retained by a 5/8 in 6Al-4V grade V titanium double shear pin with a simple snap ring.
• Folds to under 1.75 in thick for a lower profile and a better approach angle than a ProLink.
• Precision machined from 6000 series billet aluminum.
• EPDM rubber guard on four barbed tips protects alloy fairleads, cushions the stowed line and stops rattle.
• Clears common roller fairlead licence plate brackets.
• 16,000 lb maximum load with ultimate failure above 40,000 lb.
• Suits closed-system winching rigs built entirely from closed-link hardware.
• Expert product: the wide opening can allow shackle side loading during slack, so monitor the rigging through every pull.
