The Factor 55 FlatLink Winch Shackle Mount provides a safer, stronger alternative to a conventional winch hook for vehicle recovery applications. Designed as the industry’s first folding shackle mount for recovery winches, the FlatLink helps protect recovery straps from cuts and fraying while reducing the chance of strap loops escaping during momentary slack conditions. Screw-pin or soft shackles help retain the strap loop, supporting more controlled and dependable winching operations.
Compatible with steel cables and synthetic winch ropes up to 3/8 inch in diameter, the Factor 55 FlatLink installs easily without splicing. Its compact folding design stores neatly against roller or Hawse fairleads and is compatible with roller fairlead license plate mounting brackets. When folded flat, the mount is less than 1.75 inches thick, helping maintain a clean, low-profile setup on the front of the vehicle.
Constructed from durable 6061 aluminum and finished with a bright dip anodized silver surface, the FlatLink is made in the USA for reliable recovery use. Integrated EPDM rubber guards help protect alloy fairleads and are secured with four barbed tips. The Factor 55 FlatLink Winch Shackle Mount, Part Number 00050-05, is a practical upgrade for off-road recovery systems that use either steel cable or synthetic rope.
