MAXTRAX Hitch 50 Soft Shackle Recovery Hitch

The Hitch 50 turns a standard 2-inch receiver into a recovery point built for soft shackles. It is CNC-machined from 6061 billet aluminum and anodized, with a curved radius that spreads the load across the shackle instead of pinching it over a hard edge.

Conventional hitch receivers and steel hardware have sharp edges that can permanently damage a soft shackle. The Hitch 50 is shaped for synthetic gear only, and it physically will not accept a steel shackle.

Why it works
Made for soft shacklesThe curved radius distributes weight evenly across the shackle rather than loading one narrow spot.
Pulls from more than one angleMAXTRAX designs it for a multidirectional pull on both the vertical and horizontal axis.
TraceableEvery hitch carries its own serial number and is individually X-rayed for inclusions.
Rated, not guessedWorking load limit is 19,400 lb, with a destructive test break load of 97,003 lb.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a steel bow shackle with the Hitch 50?

No. It is designed exclusively for soft shackles and will not allow a steel shackle to be fitted.

What receiver size does it need?

A standard 2-inch (50 mm) tow hitch receiver.

What are the load ratings?

MAXTRAX lists a working load limit of 19,400 lb and a destructive test break load of 97,003 lb.

Why not just put a soft shackle on my regular hitch?

Traditional recovery hitches have harsh edges that can permanently damage a soft shackle. The Hitch 50 uses a curved radius so the load is spread evenly.
