The BulletProof Hitches Heavy Duty Receiver Shackle is designed for customers who want a strong, receiver-mounted recovery point for trucks, trailers, and off-road use. It provides a secure attachment point for recovery straps, tow straps, kinetic ropes, or chains when a standard hitch ball is not the right tool for the job.
This receiver shackle is available in 2", 2.5", and 3" receiver sizes. Each version uses a solid steel shank, a rugged 1" D-ring shackle, and a 1-1/8" threaded pin. The shackle is rated with a 22,000 lb maximum weight capacity and a 12.5T working load limit, with the working load limit stamped on the shackle.
The shank uses four pin holes, allowing the shackle to be mounted horizontally or vertically. This setup also provides two receiver insertion positions, which can help customers adjust how much of the shank extends into the receiver tube. The additional pin hole at the end of the shank provides an extra 1-1/2" of extension when needed, which can be useful for trucks with aftermarket bumpers.
Each version is finished in BulletProof Hitches’ signature black textured powder coat and includes one corrosion-resistant 5/8" pin and one R-clip to secure the receiver shackle into the receiver tube. For added security, customers may choose to pair it with a compatible BulletProof locking pin.
Whether customers are upgrading for off-road recovery, worksite use, trail support, emergency towing, strap recovery, or a more capable receiver-mounted recovery setup, the BulletProof Hitches Heavy Duty Receiver Shackle delivers a strong recovery solution in multiple receiver-size options.
