Product Overview

The AWS is designed to securely hold the winch rope tightly against the fairlead, protecting it from damage while allowing convenient access during recovery. Its 37mm thickness and weight just over 800 grams make it significantly lighter than many standard winch hooks, improving handling and reducing stress on recovery gear. The larger radius at the shackle end minimises rope abrasion and supports safer use with soft shackles.

Its robust construction and durable finishes make it suited for all types of 4x4 vehicles and demanding recovery situations. The rubber fairlead engagement pad protects aluminium fairleads from surface damage, extending component life when in use.

Technology & Materials

Manufactured from aircraft-grade 7075 Aluminium, the Alloy Winch Shackle offers exceptional strength combined with light weight. The inclusion of a 16mm 304 Stainless Steel pin and internal circlip ensures secure fastening of the winch rope eye. The product is finished locally in Australia using CERAKOTE ceramic coating, chosen for its superior UV stability, hardness, and resistance to wear. An Australian prismatic powder coating option is also available for an alternate finish with similar durability.

Installation & Compatibility

The AWS installs quickly and easily to replace standard winch hooks. The compact 37mm thickness design ensures compatibility with typical winch fairleads without requiring modifications. The integrated rubber fairlead engagement pad offers soft contact to protect aluminium surfaces during use.

Suitable for use on all 4x4 vehicles, the AWS supports safer and smarter recovery setups, especially when used with soft shackles.
