When you’re out on the tracks, bow shackles are recovery essentials—and having a few spares is never a bad idea. These heavy-duty shackles are perfect for connecting recovery straps, tree trunk protectors, winch extension straps, and snatch blocks.

The 5.0T bow shackles with a 19mm pin are built for the tough stuff, making them ideal for electric winch recovery situations. With a high-visibility finish, they’re easy to find in the mud, sand, or at night. Best of all, they’re W.L.L. compliant with AS/NZS 2741.2002, so you know they’re up to the task.

Key Features:

• 5,000kg (5.0T) capacity with 19mm pin

• High-visibility finish for quick ID in harsh conditions

• Compliant with AS/NZS 2741.2002 load standards

• Perfect for winching & heavy-duty recoveries

   

TIP: To avoid seizing the screw pin, its always a good idea to back off about 1/2 to 1 turn after fully hand tightening. Shackle pins can seize due to the force exerted during recovery operations.

Before use: Inspect shackles before and after use for any damage. If pins are hard to turn or the shackle has been overstressed, it should be immediately replaced.

Caution: Shackles can become a lethal missile if something should break or fail during a recovery. Ensure that all spectators are well clear and all recovery lines have a dampening blanket on them (Refer page 41). Never load a shackle across its width because the load will be imposed on the threads. The force must be at right angles to the pin.
