Rhino USA Shackle Hitch Receiver for 2" Receivers — 15+ Ton Break Strength, Heavy-Duty Recovery Anchor

Rhino USA Shackle Hitch Receiver is a heavy-duty, bolt-in recovery shackle that fits any 2" (Class IV) receiver to provide a safer, stronger tow point for vehicle recovery and towing.

Designed for trucks, SUVs, and off-road rigs with a 2-inch receiver, this Rhino USA shackle replaces insecure hitch-ball connections with a purpose-built attachment point rated for more than 15 tons of break strength. Engineered to install in seconds, it gives you a robust anchor for tow straps, winch lines, or recovery gear while keeping the load centered and reducing the risk of hitch ball failure or strap slippage.

How does the Rhino shackle make recovery safer?

By providing a dedicated, load-rated connection point, the shackle eliminates the improper use of hitch balls and other weak anchors. Its solid construction and engineered geometry keep the tow strap aligned and reduce lateral stress that can cause failure during a dynamic recovery.

• Replaces hitch ball connections that are not designed for strap loads
• Keeps recovery straps aligned to reduce binding and shock
• Heavy-duty pin secures the connection under load
