The Factor 55 10 inch and 20 inch diameter Extreme Duty Soft Shackles are made in the USA under the uncompromised Factor 55 quality standards. Like all Factor 55 rigging products, these shackles have been lab and field tested to assure consistent minimum breaking strength values.

Special thanks to U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Jarrod Bunker for arranging a Closed System Winching™ training session with the National Guard’s 101st WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team). These specialized men and women of our Armed Forces (Army/Airforce) are trained to respond to any type of chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear incident – think terrorist hot zones like bomb making chemicals and materials etc..

 

Thanks again to everyone who voted for Factor 55 this year at The SEMA Show. We are honored to receive another 3 Awards for Best Innovative Product in the off-road industry. Here’s a look at the first new product, the Load Distribution Plate- LDP. This plate will allow you to pull from multiple directions distributing those loads across the plane of the plate instead of through the body of a common screw pin shackle. More details to follow.

Our new Rope Guard products come with installation instructions but many of you asked for an installation video as well. Well here it is. Please remember to remove the FlatLink and UltraHook products from your winch cables so that you can properly place them on a horizontal surface for easy drive rivet installation. Have a great weekend everyone! #justthefacts
