MAXTRAX Shackle Shield — Soft Shackle Protector

Protect your soft shackle. Protect your recovery.

The MAXTRAX Shackle Shield is the ultimate soft shackle protector for 4WD and off-road vehicle recovery. Engineered from flexible, high-strength thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), its distinctive "U" shape wraps your soft shackle rope at the recovery point, eliminating the tight radius contraction that cuts and degrades rope fibres under load — extending the life of your soft shackle and keeping your recovery kit metal-free.

Whether you're running MAXTRAX Core and Fuse Shackles or any other brand of soft shackle, this is the protection your recovery system has been missing.
