Description The ProLink XTV allows UTV and ATV winch owners to replace the conventional winch hook with a shackle/D-Ring. Winch hooks can allow strap ends to escape during typical loose/tight cycles of a winching recovery. Screw pin shackles do not allow strap loops to escape due to the secure screw pin attachment. The ProLink XTV does not require splicing and is compatible with steel cables or synthetic ropes up to 5/16 inches. The cable eye is retained in the ProLink XTV by a 7/16 inch diameter titanium double shear pin and internal snap ring. It is easily installed in minutes. The EPDM Rubber Guard protects alloy fairleads and is securely attached to the ProLink XTV with 4 barbed tips. The ProLink XTV stows neatly against either roller or Hawse type fairleads and is designed to be used with common standard ½
– 5/8 inch shackles. MADE IN THE USA, the ProLink XTV is constructed of 6000 series billet aluminum and 6Al-4V titanium and is anodized/powder coated. The ProLink has a max load rating of 6000 pounds and an ultimate failure of 22,000 pounds. This product is compatible with Closed System Winching®, a technique that uses rigging comprised entirely of closed-link hardware. With Closed System Winching you get the extra security and confidence needed to tackle the most demanding winch recoveries. Precision machined from 6000 series aluminum and 6Al-4V titanium Weight
