The MAXTRAX Hitch 50 is the first recovery hitch designed to work exclusively with soft shackles. Soft shackles have proven to be safer than their metal counterparts, and the Hitch 50 is the perfect pairing for hitch based recoveries. Traditional recovery hitches cannot be used with soft shackles as the harsh edges would significantly damage the shackle. The Hitch 50 is designed with a specific curved radius to ensure even weight distribution across the soft shackle, ensuring no damage to the shackle. Another advantage of the Hitch 50 is the ability to complete a hitch pull from multiple angles. With a working load limit of 19,400lbs, the Hitch 50 is designed to be the strongest part of your recovery.
