Frequently Asked Questions 

Q:  What is the difference between a soft shackle and a steel shackle?

A: Soft shackles are made from synthetic rope fibers and offer several advantages over traditional steel shackles.  They are lighter,  safer in case of breakage,  easier to use,  and won’t damage vehicle paintwork.  However,  it is important to use soft shackles within their designated working load limit as they may have a lower breaking strength compared to some steel shackles.

Q:  How do I choose the right size soft shackle?

A: The appropriate size soft shackle will depend on the specific recovery situation and the weight of the vehicles involved.  Always refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations and choose a soft shackle with a working load limit that exceeds the expected recovery load.

Q:  How do I care for my AOR Soft Shackle?

AOR’s Soft Shackle is relatively low maintenance.  After use,  rinse it with clean water to remove dirt or debris.  Allow it to dry completely before storing.  Inspect the shackle regularly for signs of wear or damage.
