Yankum Ropes
Heavy Duty Soft Shackle
Heavy Duty Soft Shackles – Maximum Durability for Demanding Recoveries
Engineered for Abrasion. Built to Hold.
The Heavy Duty Soft Shackle is the most durable recovery shackle in the Yankum lineup. Designed to excel where traditional soft shackles fall short, this variant features a urethane elastomer dipped chafe sleeve that withstands sharp edges, rough recovery points, and real-world abuse.
When your recovery points aren’t perfect—and they rarely are—you need gear that won’t fail. These shackles are built to hold when it matters most.
Built for Harsh Conditions
-
Urethane elastomer dipped chafe sleeve resists abrasion, wear, and friction
-
Single-piece synthetic construction eliminates pins and metal-on-metal contact
-
Built from HMPE fiber for extreme strength and lightweight performance
-
Ideal for steel bumpers, hard edges, or misaligned recovery points
-
Works in mud, snow, or grit—won’t seize or rust like traditional hardware
