ProLink Shackle Winch Mount Factor 55

The Factor 55 ProLink is a direct replacement for conventional winch hooks, giving you a precision-machined shackle mount that accepts a standard 3/4" screw pin or soft shackle. Machined in the USA from 6061-T6 Kaiser Aluminum round bar, it handles a max load rating of 16,000 lbs and weighs just 24 oz. The 1.2" thick mounting tab is what sets this apart — that material thickness is what eliminates shackle rattle under load.

The rope eye locks into the body via a 5/8" diameter 6Al-4V titanium double shear pin and internal snap ring — aerospace-grade retention, not a standard steel pin. It handles steel cable and synthetic rope up to 3/8" diameter and is designed around both hawse and roller fairlead profiles. The integrated EPDM rubber guard attaches with four barbed tips, protecting alloy fairleads and cushioning line stowage without rattling.

We stock this in green for customers who want color-coded rigging in their recovery kit. The ProLink is also built for Closed System Winching — full closed-link hardware rigging — so it's not just a hook swap, it's an upgrade to your entire recovery anchor point. Stress-analyzed with FEA and destructively tested before production. Made in the USA.
