The FlatLink E provides a means to eliminate the conventional winch hook and replace it with a safer and more secure screw pin shackle resulting in a Closed System Winching operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe large pear shaped shackle mounting hole allows for attachment to either the pin or bow end of common screw pin shackles, as well as common OEM recovery points. This makes the new FlatLink E more versatile than the current FlatLink design, but it also adds the possibility of a dangerous shackle side loading condition (See Picture), especially during momentary slack conditions. A shackle side loading condition is not possible with our standard\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlatLink shackle mount due to the shackle pin mounting constraint. For the recreational off roader we highly recommend the safer standard FlatLink product, not the FlatLink E. This way the winch operator does not have to monitor whether the shackle may have shifted and rotated in the recovery tackle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe FlatLink E is only available in the Military Specification Anodizing (Mil-A-8625 F Type III) hard anodized gray finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConventional winch hooks can cut and fray recovery straps and often allow strap ends to escape during momentary slack cycles of a typical winching recovery. Screw pin shackles do not allow strap loops to escape due to their secure screw pin attachment. The FlatLink E does not require splicing and is compatible with steel cables or synthetic ropes up to 3\/8 inches in diameter. The cable eye is retained in the FlatLink E by a 5\/8 inch diameter 6Al4V\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTitanium double shear pin and internal snap ring. Installation takes only minutes. The EPDM Rubber Guards protect alloy fairleads and are securely attached to the FlatLink E with 4 barbed tips each. The FlatLink E stows neatly against either roller or Hawse type fairleads and is designed to be used with common 3\/4 inch shackles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Anodized Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision machined from 6000 series billet aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with all roller fairlead license plate mounting brackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen folded flat – less than 1.75 inches of thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight – 26 ounces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax load rating : 16,000 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltimate failure : greater than 40,000 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits steel cables and synthetic winch ropes to 3\/8 inch diameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEPDM Rubber Guard protects alloy fairleads and cushions line stowage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple snap ring removal for shear pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits common 3\/4 shackles\/D-Rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates hook rattle and fairlead damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/grvfDbgdGQo\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\" \"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable class=\"descr-table\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ebrand_logo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ehttps:\/\/www.asapnetwork.org\/sites\/default\/files\/brands\/icons\/factor-55_logo1.jpg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ecolor_l\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnodized Gray\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eheight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.25\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003elast_update\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2023-01-13 03:05:09\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003elength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.75\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLTL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ematerial_l\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6160 Aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003emfg_label\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWinch Shackle Mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlatLink E\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003esold_as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUniversal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003evehicle_type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJeep|Truck\/SUV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eweight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.75\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ewidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.25\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Factor 55","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41434903347381,"sku":"ds_GGBW_00080-06","price":263.61,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/1905\/5956\/products\/00080-06-GGBW.jpg?v=1653529026","url":"https:\/\/www.truckpartsuperstore.ca\/products\/factor-55-00080-06-flatlink-e-expert-version-winch-shackle-mount-assembly-anodized-gray-factor-55","provider":"Truck Part Superstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
