Product Overview

This kit offers a solution to traditional metal hook recovery systems by minimising metal components, which can reduce weight and potential damage during recoveries. The positive capture system helps secure the thimble inside the fairlead, reducing overhang for better clearance and safer recoveries. Ideal for users familiar with rope splicing, it enhances recovery system reliability when properly spliced. The included 9K Sheath Soft Shackle provides a strong, lightweight connector.

Technology & Materials

This kit features a ceramic coating applied locally in Australia by CERAKOTE USA, enhancing resistance to wear and corrosion. The design incorporates a positive capture system to secure the thimble within the fairlead, improving system integrity and reducing protrusion.

Installation & Compatibility

Installation requires competence in rope splicing, with a long bury or locking splice highly recommended to ensure secure attachment and maximum working load limit. The kit includes the soft shackle and thimble but no additional hardware. Professional knowledge of splicing is advised to safely integrate this into existing recovery setups.

Suitable for users upgrading from traditional metal links or hooks who seek a lower metal recovery system with improved handling and reduced overhang.
