About this product
The Donaghys 12 Strand UHMwPE Soft Shackles 70t is a hand knotted fibre shackle that replaces steel bow and snap shackles on heavy connections. It is the largest end of the range, with a 79.7t break load, a 56mm finished diameter and a 1.5m open length, and it still only weighs 2.9kg. That means one person can carry and fit it by hand, with no pins, no tools and no dropped hardware.
Made from 12 strand UHMwPE winchline and supplied covered, so the sleeve takes the abrasion in rough work. The fibre will not rust or corrode, and it is soft enough not to chew up the gear around it. If a soft shackle does let go, it will not shatter or throw steel like a metal shackle can. Suits connecting strops and slings to vehicles, and pairs with Donaghys' Mongoose Recovery Strop range.
