ProLink Bridle Shackle Mount Assembly Anodized Gray Factor 55

The Factor 55 ProLink Bridle is a purpose-built winch shackle mount engineered for operators who run bridle towing setups repeatedly and need a safer alternative to a conventional winch hook. Three individual shackle mounting holes give you options: mount fixed-length bridle links in the two outer holes for bridle towing, or use the centered hole as a conventional single-shackle recovery point. Because each hole is designed to let the shackle pin pivot and self-center to the load, dangerous side-loading forces at the interface are eliminated — this is closed system winching done right.

The specs back up the design. Machined from 6000 series billet aluminum with a hard anodize finish to Mil-A-8625 F Type III spec, the ProLink Bridle carries a 16,000-pound working load limit and an ultimate failure load exceeding 42,000 pounds. The 5/8-inch titanium double shear pin is retained by a simple snap ring, and the included EPDM rubber guard protects alloy hawse fairleads and cushions line stowage. It accepts steel cable and synthetic rope up to 3/8-inch diameter.

We recommend this for anyone running a winch in a commercial towing application or any situation where repeated bridle pulls are part of the job. Engineered, tested, and made in the USA — patent pending.
