Soft Shackles

TO-GO Soft Shackle – A Story of Safety and Evolution in Recovery and Towing

In one rescue mission undertaken by a specialized recovery team, the team faced a serious challenge when attempting to recover a vehicle stuck in the sand. Using traditional metal shackles, the team found themselves at risk as the shackle suddenly rebounded under high pressure, endangering both the vehicle and team members. When we at TO-GO heard about this incident, we recognized the need for a product that could offer the same strength and durability but with a significantly higher level of safety to protect both lives and equipment.

This inspired the creation of the TO-GO Soft Shackle – a product carefully designed as a safer, lighter alternative to metal shackles, combining advanced technology with high-performance materials. Made from high-strength UHMWPE, this soft shackle offers exceptional protection, able to withstand the harshest conditions.

Product Details: Advanced Safety and Performance

  • High-Quality Materials: The TO-GO Soft Shackle is crafted from UHMWPE, a material renowned for its durability and excellent resistance to wear, ensuring safe use in even the most extreme environments.

  • Ideal Length (1 meter):

    • The 1-meter length was carefully chosen to provide multiple benefits:
      • Easy Maneuverability: The extra length offers greater flexibility, allowing users to handle the shackle more effectively during recovery operations.
      • Balanced Load Distribution: The additional length helps distribute pressure evenly along the shackle, reducing the likelihood of wear and extending its lifespan.
      • Easy Connection with Other Ropes and Equipment: With its ideal length, the TO-GO Soft Shackle can be quickly and securely attached to ropes or other equipment, making recovery tasks safer and smoother.
      • Added Safety Distance: The longer length creates additional distance between vehicles during towing, reducing collision risk and protecting nearby personnel.

  • Safe Breakaway Feature:

    • One of the standout features of the TO-GO Soft Shackle is its ability to safely break away under extreme pressure without dangerous rebound. This feature protects the team and vehicle from potential hazards, ensuring a secure recovery process even in critical conditions.
