Sherpa 4x4 Recovery Ring & Soft Shackle Bundle
Description
This is a genuine Sherpa friction pulley designed to be used with synthetic winch ropes to increase the power of your winch. Use as an alternative to traditional heavy snatch blocks / pulleys. Compatible with synthetic winch ropes in the 8-22mm size range.
Sherpa rope shackles are strong as they are made from high quality synthetic rope the same as what is spooled onto Sherpa winches. The 10mm (3/8") soft shackle uses genuine USA Spectra® fiber and has a rating of 15,909kg (35,000lb) which is impressive. Note: this is the shackles Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) and actual testing often reveals even higher figures. Users can be confident these shackles will exceed the ratings of an equivalent size D-shackle.
Rope Pulley Ring
A ring pulley can be used to increase the winch's pulling power or redirect the winch line similar to a common snatch/pulley block. This style of pulley can only be used with synthetic winch ropes, not steel cable. It should be used in conjunction with a soft shackle.
The Sherpa rope pulley can be used to increase the pulling power from your winch. By double line pulling and incorporating a pulley ring, your winch can deliver greater overall pulling power. Rope rings are ideal for heavy load recoveries as it takes stress off the winch motor, meaning the motor can run cooler. Using a rope ring the winch recovery speed is halved however so is the load on the winch, meaning you can often winch heavier loads before reaching the limit of the winch.
The Sherpa recovery ring has undergone full stress modelling to ensure a design that's strong and safe to use. The rings are manufactured from a high grade 6061 aluminium and are then finished with a hard anodizing top coating. The material is extremely strong whilst being low weight. The hard anodizing finish is a necessity which ensures the ring lasts under high wear, temperature and stress situations. Beware of cheap knock offs that simply don't last and can fail when you need them.
The design of the Sherpa rope ring allows for use with ropes 8-22mm in diameter making it perfect for the Sherpa winch range. The rope's entry and exit from the ring has been carefully engineered to ensure smooth transition which is critical when working at high loads. These rings feature a larger inner opening making them compatible for use with most soft shackle brands on the market.

Sherpa Soft Recovery Rope Shackles
Rope shackles are light weight and float in water. They will never rust. This makes soft shackles perfect for use in river crossing situations, it also means there is less mass to act as a projectile if a winch rope was to ever break. A heavy steel shackle can easily punch a hole through a vehicle and do serious injury if allowed to become a projectile. Whilst rope shackles still have some mass, they are much safer and don't store the same level of energy.
Rope shackles are simple to use and fast to set up. Carry them in your glove box or hang them off your belt. The soft shackle will not over tighten and are easy to loosen after a recovery.
Rope shackles can be wrapped around almost any surface or shape. Where a standard steel shackle might have bound, the rope shackle can quickly be manipulated to fit almost any situation.
Sherpa manufacture their soft rope shackles to be strong and also user friendly. Each shackle comes with a high quality protective sleeve ensuring years of use and performance. Each shackle is clearly labelled with its rating unlike inferior imitations.
