Core Shackle Soft Shackle 30864 lb MBS (MTXCS)

The Core Shackle is the heavy soft shackle in the recovery system, rated to a minimum breaking strength of 14000 kg (30864 lb) and designed to sit at the core of two interacting pieces of gear, such as a kinetic rope and the Winch Ring 120. It is spliced from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene with a polyester cover, weighs only 180 g and measures 550 mm long. The loop and knot design slips over a rope eye, a hitch or a rated recovery point in seconds with no metal hardware in the line.
