{"product_id":"maxtrax-core-shackle","title":"MaxTrax Core Soft Shackle","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe MaxTrax Core is the simple, everyday soft shackle in the MaxTrax recovery lineup. It's a single loop of Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene with a braided polyester sheath, rated to a 14,000 kg (30,864 lb) minimum breaking strength. At 180 g and 550 mm (21.5 in) long, it weighs a fraction of a steel bow shackle and packs flat in a recovery bag or door pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the Core where you need a strong, general-purpose connector: linking the MaxTrax Winch Ring 120, joining MaxTrax ropes and straps, or attaching to a rated vehicle recovery point. It is the \"always connected\" link, not the sacrificial one. The Core is distinct from the MaxTrax Fuse: the Fuse is built with a lower, precise breaking strength so it fails first and protects your recovery points and straps. During an actual vehicle recovery, a Fuse should be the weak link in the system, and the Core handles the connections that aren't meant to give.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe braided sheath shields the load-bearing core from abrasion against rock, hitch steel, and rope. Inspect it before every use and retire it if the sheath shows cuts, fraying, burns, or melting. Sold as a single shackle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003caside class=\"boondock-bill\" style=\"position:relative;overflow:hidden;background:#161719 radial-gradient(ellipse 60% 80% at 82% 28%, rgba(199,93,42,0.22) 0%, transparent 60%);border:1px solid #2D2E31;border-radius:12px;padding:24px 28px;margin:24px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 14px 0;color:#E37545;font-family:Geist,-apple-system,system-ui,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:-0.01em;\"\u003eBoondock Bill's Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:18px;align-items:flex-start;\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0576\/0404\/6931\/files\/xgrid-boondock-bill.png?v=1779057958\" alt=\"Boondock Bill\" style=\"width:88px;height:88px;border-radius:50%;flex-shrink:0;border:2px solid #C75D2A;background:#0E0F11;object-fit:cover;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin:0;flex:1;min-width:0;color:rgba(245,247,250,0.85);font-family:Geist,-apple-system,system-ui,sans-serif;font-style:italic;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003eThe Core is your every-trip soft shackle for the times you ain't doing a full-on vehicle pull and don't need the Fuse's sacrificial trick. Bill keeps one clipped to his Winch Ring 120 so the connection's already made when he rolls up to help somebody. And at 180 grams it ain't gonna come back at ya like a hunk of steel if something lets go — that alone is reason enough to run soft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/aside\u003e","brand":"Iceberg Outdoor Group - Supplier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44832754008147,"sku":"MTXCS","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0576\/0404\/6931\/files\/MTXCS.full_f64c074b-86be-4d88-a551-79ee0f7a6773_2000x__46146.1710343186.webp?v=1780066979","url":"https:\/\/www.xgridoutfitters.com\/ga\/products\/maxtrax-core-shackle","provider":"XGRiD Campers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
