Tuff Terrain Soft Shackle Recovery Hitch

Get your 4WD recovery setup ready for demanding off-road conditions with a dedicated hitch designed for use with compatible soft shackles. Whether you’re touring remote tracks, exploring sandy beaches or tackling muddy trails, having suitable recovery equipment can help you prepare for unexpected situations.

A soft shackle recovery hitch is designed to provide a connection point for compatible recovery equipment when correctly fitted to an appropriate vehicle mounting system. It can form part of a well-planned recovery setup, offering an alternative to some conventional recovery connection arrangements.

Designed for 4WD Recovery Setups

When a vehicle becomes bogged, using the correct recovery equipment and approved connection points is essential. A dedicated recovery hitch can help provide a suitable attachment location for a compatible soft shackle, provided the hitch, vehicle mounting system and recovery equipment are designed for the intended loads.

Always check the manufacturer’s specifications to confirm compatibility with your vehicle, hitch receiver and soft shackle before use.

Australian four-wheel-driving adventures can take you across a range of terrain, from soft sand and muddy tracks to rocky bush trails. Having a suitable recovery setup helps you prepare for the unexpected and choose the right equipment for the conditions.

A recovery hitch designed for soft shackles can be a useful component of your setup, but compatibility is critical. The hitch must be approved for the intended recovery loads and fitted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Important Recovery Safety Information

A hitch suitable for ordinary towing is not automatically suitable for vehicle recovery. Confirm that this product is specifically rated and approved for your intended recovery application before use.

Check the hitch receiver, mounting hardware, vehicle attachment points and soft shackle ratings. Inspect all equipment before use, follow the manufacturer’s fitting instructions and never exceed the limits of the weakest component.

Do not use the hitch for dynamic snatch recovery unless the manufacturer explicitly approves that application. Keep bystanders clear of the recovery zone, and never attach recovery equipment to an ordinary tow ball or an unrated point.

Choose compatible, appropriately rated equipment and follow safe recovery practices when preparing your 4WD for the next adventure.
