For you hardcore off-roaders and off-road trainers, the new Rope Guard provides complete synthetic rope protection from damaging UV light as well as impact and abrasion damage. As you can see, when using the Rope Guard, all exposed synthetic rope surfaces are positioned behind the guard and fairlead, allowing you to use the Rope Guard as a skid surface when attempting to climb tall vertical obstacles.Made from Kaiser billet 6000 series aluminum and clear anodized for corrosion protection. Easy DIY installation with 4 drive rivets.Engineered and Made In The USA.We recommend that the FlatLink or UltraHook first be removed from your winch line prior to the Rope Guard installation. Then, remove all rubber pieces from your FlatLink or UltraHook product. A little prying from a flat blade screwdriver should do the trick in popping out the rubber barbs. You will need to reinstall two of the rubber pieces after the Rope Guard installation is completed. We recommend that you place the FlatLink on top of a piece of wood on the ground or workbench surface prior to hammering in the drive rivets. Be sure to orient the Rope Guard in the correct direction (slot facing the rear) prior to proceeding with the rivet installation. For the UltraHook, make sure that the plane of the rubber pad surface is held flat to the wood surface for one side of the rivet installation and pivot the UltraHook over to the other surface for the remaining rivet installation. Now simply insert the 4 included drive rivets and using a ¼ inch punch, hammer the drive rivet posts down until the posts are flush with the top of the rivet head. Reinstall the rubber pads (lubricate the barbs) on the opposing side and you are done.The industry’s first winch hook with an integrated shackle pin mountTwo methods of use: conventional hook opening, or shackle mountShackle pin mount allows the safer practice of Closed System WinchingFinger grip feature promotes proper “Hook Up” orientationDouble locking safety clasp – lock the safety clasp with the included clevis pinLatch lock clevis pin stored conveniently in hook bodyIntegrated EPDM rubber pads for fairlead surface protectionMax opening deformation clearly laser engravedLightweight – Precision CNC machined 7000 series Military Grade AluminumNo rope splicing required – double shear pin design accepts rope/cable eyesDesigned for both steel cables and synthetic winch ropesFoldable to stow rattle free against fairleadsShackle pin mounting hole accepts ¾ shackle pins (.875” diameter)For rope and cable diameters up to 3/8’’Available in the Military Specification Hard Anodizing (Mil-A-8625 F Type III) Gray5/8” diameter 6AI-4V grade V titanium double shear pinMax Rated Load: 16,000 poundsUltimate Strength – Hook Throat Opening: 31,000 poundsUltimate Strength – Shackle Pin Mount: 48,000 poundsWeight: 32oz

  • The FlatLink E (Expert) is a variation of our popular foldable standard FlatLink winch shackle mount. 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. The 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 FlatLink 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. The FlatLink E is only available in the Military Specification Anodizing (Mil-A-8625 F Type III) hard anodized gray finish.Conventional 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 Titanium 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.MADE IN THE USAU.S. Utility Patent No. 9,388,025MADE IN THE USAPrecision machined from 6000 series billet aluminumCompatible with all roller fairlead license plate mounting bracketsWhen folded flat – less than 1.75 inches of thicknessWeight – 26 ouncesMax load rating : 16,000 poundsUltimate failure : greater than 40,000 poundsFits steel cables and synthetic winch ropes to 3/8 inch diametersEPDM Rubber Guard protects alloy fairleads and cushions line stowage.Simple snap ring removal for shear pin.Fits common 3/4 shackles/D-RingsEliminates hook rattle and fairlead damage

  • Loaded ProLink includes Titanium Pin and Rubber GuardReplace conventional winch hooks with the new safer, stronger, and smarter Factor 55 ProLink shackle mount. Factor 55 introduces the new ProLink shackle mount for winch cables and synthetic ropes. Engineered and machined in the USA from lightweight billet 6061 aluminum, the ProLink provides a safe means to easily attach a standard 3/4" screw pin shackle to existing winch cable and rope eyes The cable or rope eye is captured into the body of the ProLink by a removable oversized 5/8" double shear pin. The front of the ProLink provides the precision shackle mounting hole and massive 1.2" thick mounting tab. The ProLink is compatible with both Hawse and Roller fairleads and snugs neatly against both versions.FAQ:Hook or Screw Pin Shackle - which is better?Smart off roaders have known for years that the most secure way to use your recovery winch is replace the hook with a common screw pin shackle. Unless you are competing, the added seconds required to use a shackle versus a hook during a vehicle recovery is not worth the safety risk associated with standard winch hooks. What is wrong with the hook?The technical name for a standard winch hook is " Clevis Slip Hook". This describes two things. First, clevis refers to the method of cable attachment - the cable eye is attached to the hook by a clevis pin and cotter pin. Second, "slip" refers to the size of the chain link that can be slipped through the hook opening. Most winches are equipped with 3/8 clevis slip hooks. This means that the hook is designed specifically to work with chains that have 3/8 thick chain links. Unless you are using chains in your recovery, this is not the right piece of hardware to have on the end of your winch cable. At Factor 55 we are still puzzled as to why winch manufacturers continue to sell winches equipped with hooks designed for chain links when off roaders have been using synthetic recovery straps for over two decades now. In addition, most 3/8 clevis slip hooks have a safe working load limit of 4000-7000 pounds. The average 8K winch exceeds the working load limit of these weak hooks regularly. Of course the safety factor built into the hook is 3-4X, but it is still not wise to exceed any working load limit of any hardware. In contrary, the standard ¾ screw pin shackle has a working load limit (WLL) of 9500 pounds, and a safety factor of 5-6X. Most screw pin shackles have an ultimate breaking strength of 50,000 to 60,000 pounds. The cross section of the standard hook is airfoil shaped to prevent chain links from slipping, and not ideal for synthetic strap fibers. This shape causes high fiber stresses that reduce the rating of the recovery strap. Hooks equipped with safety latches pose other hazards as well. Many safety latches are simply bent sheet metal parts with sharp edges and springs. This is not a concern with chains, but a potential cutting hazard for recovery straps. The safety latches cannot bear any loads as well. The hook opening of the standard winch hook is too small to safely attach two ends of a common recovery strap so most off roaders use a screw pin shackle to hold the strap anyways. Standard winch hooks do not stow neatly against either Hawse or roller fairleads. They were not designed to do this. That is why it is common to see winch cables extended and hooks attached to bumpers, tow hooks, undercarriage parts etc.. It is not recommended to leave the winch cable or synthetic rope pulling at a right angle to your fairlead simply to attach the hook to something convenient – this can permanently weaken the fibers right at the fairlead surface. Anytime a hook is used, there is a chance that whatever you put into the hook opening can escape. This is especially important in vehicle recovery where the winch cable is cycling in a loaded and unloaded condition regularly as the towing vehicle or towed vehicle lurches forward. In contrary, the standard screw pin shackle is a completely contained link where strap ends have no way of escaping even during tight/loose cycles. Is the ProLink compatible with steel and synthetic winch cables?Yes!Is the ProLink compatible with hawse and roller winch fairleads?Yes!Does anodizing fade/scratch?Anodizing is the most durable way to ensure a long life for your ProLink's finish. However, like all off road parts, these are sure to take a beating. Black, silver, and gunmetal seem to hold up the longest in the sun. Red, blue, and orange, by nature of anodizing, will fade sooner than other colors. The last ProLink in Rebel Orange is a custom color. Reach out to us for custom color options.Screw pin shackles are up to 5X stronger than conventional winch hooks Conventional hooks are too small to safely fit both ends of a recovery strap Recover straps cannot slip out of a shackle like they can with hooks Hook safety latches are not rated for loads and can tear recovery straps Conventional hook surfaces add higher stresses to recovery strap fibers, resulting in decreased strap ratings Shackles can be quickly removed and stowed away until needed for winching.
