Lockjaw 15-025004 Soft Shackle

The Lockjaw 15-025004 Soft Shackle provides a 5,500 lb working load limit for vehicle recovery and utility pulling tasks. Its HMPE rope construction with nylon cover suits off-road enthusiasts and workers who need a lightweight, corrosion-resistant connection point. It is not intended for overhead lifting applications where a higher safety factor is required.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The shackle delivers a 16,500 lbf breaking strength, giving a 3:1 design factor above the rated working load limit. HMPE fibres resist creep under continuous tension better than polyester, while the anodized bar and UV-resistant cover protect against environmental degradation during extended outdoor use. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals present in the materials.

Installation and Common Issues

The soft shackle installs by passing the rope eye over the 2 in anodized bar and seating the knot inside the 4 in maximum inside diameter. No tools are required, but users must verify the knot is fully set before applying load. Abrasion against sharp edges can damage the nylon cover, and the product must not be used for lifting loads overhead.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 5,500 lb WLL soft shackle generate when used continuously all day?

The HMPE rope and nylon cover produce no measurable heat during normal pulling or securing tasks.

What existing hardware is required to use the 2 in bar with 3/4 in diameter on this soft shackle?

A suitable anchor point or recovery point with at least a 4 in inside clearance is needed to accommodate the shackle's maximum inside diameter.

Will the 16,500 lbf breaking strength shackle damage older steel shackles or hooks if used together in the same recovery setup?

The corrosion-resistant, UV-resistant anodized coating and soft nylon cover prevent metal-on-metal contact, protecting older hardware from scratches or galling.
