AUTOBOTS Shackle Hitch Receiver 2" Orange — Forged Steel, 45,000 lb Break Strength

AUTOBOTS 2" Shackle Hitch Receiver is a heavy-duty recovery hitch rated for a 45,000 lb break strength, equipped with 5/8" screw pins and 3/4" D-ring shackles for reliable vehicle recovery and towing.

This brightly finished orange AUTOBOTS shackle hitch receiver converts any standard 2" receiver into a purpose-built recovery point. Built from forged steel with corrosion-resistant finishes and silicone isolators to prevent metal-on-metal abrasion, it’s designed to withstand demanding off-road rescues, heavy towing tasks, and regular trail use. The dual hitch-pin holes and included hardware give flexibility in attachment orientation and solid load control during pulls.

How durable is this shackle hitch under heavy loads?

The receiver is forged steel with a published 45,000 lb break strength and reinforced hardware to resist deformation under extreme tension. Anti-corrosion treatments and a powder-coated finish extend life in wet or muddy conditions, while silicone isolators protect both the hitch and shackles from wear.

• 45,000 lb break strength forged-steel construction
• Electro-galvanized base with black powder coat finish
• Silicone isolators to reduce scratching and noise
• Includes 5/8" screw pin and 3/4" D-ring shackles

Will this fit my vehicle and common hitch receivers?

The AUTOBOTS shackle hitch is built for any standard 2" trailer hitch receiver, making it compatible with most trucks, SUVs, and off-road rigs. Its universal 2" shank slides into the receiver and secures with a hitch pin; dual pin-hole placement lets you choose horizontal or vertical shackle orientation for different recovery angles.

• Fits industry-standard 2" receiver tubes
• Dual hitch-pin holes for horizontal or vertical D-ring movement
• Ships with washers and hardware for a secure install
• Compact shank profile keeps ground clearance reasonable

How does the shackle hitch handle corrosion and rough conditions?

Corrosion resistance starts with electro-galvanized steel beneath a durable black powder coat, reducing rust in salt, mud, and rainy environments. The orange finish improves visibility on the trail, and the included silicone isolators limit metal contact points that otherwise trap moisture and accelerate finish wear.

• Electro-galvanized steel core for long-term rust resistance
• Durable powder-coat exterior for abrasion protection
• Bright orange finish for high visibility during recovery
• Silicone isolators prevent direct metal-on-metal contact

What hardware and accessories are included, and how easy is installation?

The package comes with 3/4" D-ring shackles, a 5/8" screw pin, isolator washers, and a refined protective foam case for storage. Installation is straightforward: slide the 2" shank into your receiver, align the hitch pin holes, insert the hitch pin, and secure the screw pin into the shackle—no special tools required for basic setup.

• Included: 3/4" D-ring shackles and 5/8" screw pin
• Silicone washers and anti-scratch isolators supplied
• Protective foam case for transport and storage
• Simple slide-in installation with standard hitch pin

Who is this for? The AUTOBOTS 2" Shackle Hitch Receiver is aimed at off-road enthusiasts, recovery teams, and anyone who wants a robust, visible recovery point on trucks or SUVs. It suits owners who need a heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant hitch accessory that’s ready for hard use and straightforward installation, whether for occasional towing, frequent trail recoveries, or professional recovery work.
