Factor 55 00220-06 Winch Shackle

The ProLink Bridle is a multiple shackle mount designed primarily for the towing industry.

The ProLink Bridle is a specialized commercial product featuring three individual shackle mounting holes that allow the winch operator to mount fixed-length bridle links to the outside positioned holes for common bridle towing, as well as a single-centered shackle mounting point for a conventional single shackle recovery point. Dedicated mounting points prevent dangerous shackle side loading conditions due to the pivoting feature of the shackle pin mounting hole. This allows for CLOSED SYSTEM WINCHING techniques to be applied. For commercial high repeating bridle towing, dedicated self-centering shackles result in a safer means to bridle tow. This ProLink Bridle operation is similar to fish plate towing used in the ship towing industry where boat yaw is undesirable. Like all models in the ProLink family, the ProLink Bridle is engineered and made in the USA from 6000 series billet aluminum and is equipped with a 6Al-4V titanium double shear pin.

Specifications

Note: The two additional shackle pin mounting holes provide secure shackle attach points for multiple winch pull directions, while the center hole provides a secure conventional center pull shackle mount point. This arrangement eliminates any shackle side loading forces at the multi-mount interface (shackles are free to rotate and align to the load directions) Winching with a bridle arrangement is also possible by using the two outer shackle pin mounting holes in combination with common bridle rigging
