Abstract: A winch rigging link has a body defining a cable retainer and a soft shackle retainer at opposite ends. The body has a length, a width less than the length, and a depth less than the width. Furthermore, the body defines opposing faces bounded by the length and width and spaced apart by the depth. The soft shackle retainer comprises a channel running widthwise across the soft shackle retainer an in between the faces. The channel defines a bearing surface having curvature in a lengthwise and widthwise plane. The cable retainer may be permanently attached to a winch cable and the soft shackle retainer attached to a soft shackle or the like when required for winch rigging. The configuration of the link maximises the bend radius of the soft shackle or the like retained by the soft shackle retainer, despite the relatively narrow profile of the body thereof.

Abstract: A recovery line connection aperture interface member for a vehicle recovery point increases load rating capacity of rope product inserted through the recovery point. The recovery point has a plate having the recovery line connection aperture through a distal end thereof. The interface member is applied against a side surface of the plate to interface an edge of the aperture so that an outer bearing surface of the interface member increases a bend radius of the recovery line connection around the edge of the connection aperture in use.
