The OZtrail 16T Soft Shackle is a modern piece of 4WD recovery gear, designed to provide a safer, lighter and more flexible alternative to traditional steel shackles. Ideal for use with snatch straps, kinetic recovery ropes and winch setups, it delivers strong and reliable connections across a full range of offroad recovery situations.

Constructed from UHMWPE high-strength synthetic rope, the soft shackle offers exceptional strength while remaining lightweight and easy to handle. With a 16 tonne minimum breaking strength, it is suitable for demanding recovery situations where reliability and performance are critical. The 13mm rope diameter and 50cm length make it a versatile option that is easier to connect across a range of rated recovery points and recovery equipment.

The soft construction reduces the risk of damage or injury if a failure occurs under load, making it a safer alternative for both users and vehicles when compared to steel alternatives. The flexible design allows for easier fitment in tight or awkward recovery points, while a protective PU coating improves resistance to abrasion and wear. The reinforced nylon sleeve further protect high-wear areas, ensuring durability across mud, water and harsh offroad environments. Suitable for both kinetic and static recoveries, it is a versatile and lightweight addition to any recovery gear setup.

To ensure confidence and reliability, the OZtrail 16T Soft Shackle has been independently tested and certified through a NATA accredited testing laboratory, verifying its strength and minimum breaking strength rating. Compact, strong and easy to handle, it is an essential upgrade for safer, more efficient 4WD recoveries wherever your adventure takes you.
