A rated alloy recovery bow shaped shackle with screw pin (US Fed spec RR–C-271b) is used in a recovery situation to attach recovery straps, chains, cables or ropes as well as bridles and lanyards to professionally fitted recovery points. The sizes suit a variety of vehicle weights so it is worth taking a selection. Do not use commercial (unrated) or D shackles for vehicle recoveries. Watch the video clip below of a simulated ‘failed’ recovery which may occur if the incorrect shackle is used.
