I understand mate.
The ones from the states had a destruction test of 14t .
They told the guy there was no standard to which they can be tested.
I would ask for a proof rating of 3.5T
hi kallen, if you find another provider that will supply what we need you can put me down for four mate.
Most ppl Ive asked about these "soft shackles" have never heard of them.
I truely hope there is a place for these in 4x4ings
Bumped ........any more info?
So seems I'm the only cumb dunt that's wants rated recovery gear..
So I'm taking it on.
Been in contact with a few companies to see if we can do a destruction test of one or 2 of the units and get a certificate to show stretch, break and any other info they can extract from the test..
So hang about. I'm currently pricing it all.
I'm still keen.
When I went to a different place to get any gear tested it cost per ton so to speak.
Which I think is wrong. Stretch wont tell you much as it can stretch slowly or fast with the same result.
I high BS would be the cheapest , so just request a destruction test imo
All they will do is fit a big eg 20 ton shackle each end and pull till it breaks.
I had to make up jigs to simulate a chassis as near as possible, with holes to
allow shackles to be fitted
Any further developments Kallen?
Just awaiting some replies on quotes for testing..
Coooooolllllllll
Bump tity bump.
I dunno why you mob don't just bite the bullet and buy 'em.
I can't see the issue.
Snatch straps aren't "rated" to an A.S. or anything meaningful so it hardly matters about the soft shackle which will be at least 2 to 4 times stronger anyway.
Here ya go... get onto these... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Soft-Shac...cAAOSwYHxWKHAr
Might take a while to get the lanolin off tho
Yeah but they are 10mm. I am keen on some 12mm. If I have to I will make myself a couple.
12mm !!! ... :jawdrop:
Holy Cow dude, you planning on snatching Unimogs?
That will be around a 20 tonner.
I think you will be amazed how big a 12mm shackle will turn out to be when you make it.
I have a couple of 6mm, a couple of 8mm and one 10mm. :icon_driving:
More from the same shop,
Some one should do a U tube video on how to use these properly,
and where they can be used, just saying LOL

Well if you guys want 12mm and ain't fussed about testing then I'll do it as I can do much cheaper for ya
Ok. So let's do this. Chrissy rush is over..
Getting a price again but it should be close to the $21 plus postage..
That's for the 12mm rope shackle..
If your keen I'll need a 50% deposit before I order..
copy and paste your name to the list.. need the 50 as per before for it to happen. .
