Staying safe is paramount in recovery situations, and having properly rated gear is key. The ARB Soft Connect Shackle has been updated with UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecule Weight Polyethylene) high tensile, CE certified, synthetic rope. UHMWPE rope is used in many of the synthetic rope applications on winches and purpose-built tow straps. Rated at 14.5T breaking strength, the ARB Soft Connect Shackle is engineered to float in water, be resistant to short-term UV radiation, and provide superior strength. Updating the protection to the UHMWPE rope in the ARB soft shackle, the UHMWPE synthetic rope is encased in a high tensile, braided shield. The braided shield improves abrasion resistance to protect the UHMWPE synthetic rope and further protect against cuts and abrasions when in use. The larger soft shackle connection is formed by passing the large ball end knot through the open loop, the loop then tightens around the knot when used and pulls securely against the large formed knot during recovery. The knot cannot let go and loop tightens securely around the knot forming the connection. The ARB Soft Connect Shackle is suitable for vehicles up to 3.5T GVM and has a breaking strain of 14.5T. The ARB Soft Connect Shackle acts as a fuse in a recovery situation, breaking generally before any rated metal components that it is attached to should break. This removes flying metal projectiles in recovery situations and provides a safer recovery for persons involved in the recovery and bystanders. The Soft Connect Shackle also provides flexibility for attaching your strap to a rated recovery point. Always follow correct recovery procedures and put safety for you and everyone else first before attempting any recovery. Protecting and storing your ARB Soft Connect Shackle when not in use is done with the included drawstring carry bag. The bag incorporates a mesh and nylon case to allow for sufficient drying as well as protecting and providing easy storage in your recovery kit.

About ARB-

Orgins-

Overlanding in Australia in the 1970s meant you were a pretty decent welder – or at least knew one. Homemade 4x4 equipment was the only kind that existed, and it was no match for the Outback. A fair amount of any 4WD adventure involved layovers for repairs and calling in favors. Anthony Ronald Brown would change all that.

On an extended trip to the Top End, Tony observed first-hand the frustrations of inadequate roof racks and bumpers. He’d heard the call for better equipment and, upon returning to Melbourne, set to work fabricating roof racks in his parent’s garage. Tony understood that solid design principles paired with quality material was the only way 4x4 equipment would be able to endure the rigors of 4x4 use. His approach was eagerly embraced by off-roaders.

Tony’s business took off in a matter of months. His brothers joined the cause and the initials he etched into his finished products quickly became an emblem of off-road adventure for a nation of enthusiasts. 

Overlanding, vehicle-based adventure travel, car camping – these concepts were historically enjoyed by a select few risk-takers. Reliable equipment, however, opened the doors for a nation to explore its expansive natural beauty. In the decades that followed, the Brown brother's efforts took 4WD by storm.

Expansion-

It wasn’t just fabricated products that off-roaders needed – it was suspension, recovery aids, camping equipment. In the late 1980s ARB acquired Old Man Emu and introduced the Air Locker to America. The company was first to introduce a fridge freezer tough enough for off-road use, and on the forefront of roof top tents and round driving lights as well. 

The principle that better design and better materials create a better 4WD experience hasn’t wavered. ARB continues to problem solve in the form of a hydraulic jack and a vehicle accessory interface. Steering clear of what’s flashy or trendy, its products are the antithesis of fast and cheap. ARB means what it did since its inception – gear adventurers can rely upon. It’s still about helping the friends we meet along the trail.
