MAXTRAX Fuse Shackle

MAXTRAX Fuse Shackle

The MAXTRAX Fuse Shackle is a purpose-built soft shackle engineered to serve as the sacrificial safety component within the MAXTRAX Recovery System. Designed to be the intentional point of failure if the recovery system becomes overloaded, the Fuse Shackle helps protect recovery equipment and improve safety during vehicle recoveries.

Manufactured from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with a durable polyester protective sheath, the Fuse Shackle delivers exceptional strength while remaining lightweight, flexible, and easy to handle. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with MAXTRAX kinetic ropes, static ropes, winch ropes, hitches, and other MAXTRAX recovery components.

Important: MAXTRAX specifies that a Fuse Shackle must be used during every vehicle recovery within the MAXTRAX Recovery System. It is engineered to act as the system's controlled failure point if recovery forces exceed safe operating limits.
