11,600lb Recovery Soft Shackle for UTV & Small Vehicles by Carbon Offroad
If you’re still running a steel shackle on a UTV or small 4WD, it’s worth reconsidering. They’re heavy, they rattle around, and sooner or later they’ll mark up your gear. There’s a better way to do it.
The Carbon Offroad UTV Soft Shackle is built specifically for smaller vehicles like ATVs, UTVs and compact 4x4s. It gives you a strong, lightweight connection point for recoveries without the downsides that come with traditional steel hardware.

Made from commercial-grade UHMWPE, this soft shackle delivers a 5,300kg (11,600lb) minimum breaking strain while weighing next to nothing. It’s easy to carry, quick to rig, and far more forgiving on your vehicle and recovery points.
Why switch to a soft shackle?
Steel shackles have been around forever, but they’re not ideal for lighter vehicles. They can chip paint, damage recovery points, and become a hazard if something goes wrong under load.
A soft shackle removes those issues. It won’t rust, it won’t rattle, and it won’t damage your gear. And because it’s flexible, it’s easier to work with when you’re setting up a recovery in tight or awkward positions.
