🧾 Overview
The Factor 55 ProLink E Expert Shackle Mount Assembly is a premium winch-line connection designed to replace traditional winch hooks with a far safer, stronger, and more secure shackle-based recovery system. Engineered for both steel winch cable and synthetic rope, the ProLink E Expert delivers maximum strength with reduced weight while eliminating common failure points found in conventional hooks.
Precision CNC-machined from 6000-series aluminum and paired with a titanium double-shear pin, this system provides exceptional load handling while maintaining compact dimensions. The integrated EPDM rubber boot protects your fairlead from damage and minimizes noise and vibration during vehicle operation. Designed for real-world recovery scenarios, the ProLink E Expert connects directly to standard shackles and fits over most OEM tow hooks.
