Factor 55 Flatlink Xtv Winch Shackle Black
The Factor 55 FlatLink XTV is a safer, more secure alternative to conventional winch hooks for UTVs and ATVs. Designed for Closed System Winching®, it replaces traditional hooks with a precision-machined billet aluminum body that accommodates common screw pin shackles (½ – ⅝ inch) and prevents recovery strap ends from slipping free. Compatible with synthetic ropes and steel cables up to 5/16", it offers strength, reliability, and sleek stowage against Hawse or roller fairleads. The FlatLink XTV installs in minutes, requiring no splicing.
Built from 6000 series billet aluminum and 6Al-4V titanium, and featuring EPDM rubber guards to protect your fairlead, the FlatLink XTV is built for serious recovery work and long-lasting performance—Made in the USA.
