Rhino USA Shackle Hitch Receiver for 2in Receivers — 15+ Ton Recovery Shackle, Quick Install

The Rhino USA Shackle Hitch Receiver is a heavy-duty recovery shackle engineered to fit standard 2" (Class IV) trailer receivers and deliver over 15 tons of break strength for safe vehicle recovery.

When you need a reliable, purpose-built anchor point instead of using a hitch ball, this Rhino USA hitch-mounted shackle provides a fast, secure connection for towing straps, winch lines, or snatch straps. Built to fit common 2" receivers found on many half-ton trucks and SUVs with tow packages, the shackle replaces unsafe improvisation with a dedicated recovery link rated for serious load demands.

How quickly can I install the shackle into my receiver?

Installation takes just seconds and requires no special tools beyond the usual hitch pin and clip (or locking hitch pin if you prefer). The shackle's design slides into the 2" receiver tube and secures with a standard pin for immediate use.

• Fits all Class IV 2" receiver tubes found on many trucks and SUVs
• Installs in seconds with a hitch pin or locking pin
• No permanent modification to the vehicle required

What load strength and safety margins does it offer?

Engineered to provide a break strength exceeding 15 tons, the Rhino USA shackle gives a high safety margin for recovery and towing tasks. It is intended to be used as the primary rated connection point, replacing weaker or unintended anchor points like a hitch ball.

• Rated above 15 tons break strength for heavy-duty recovery
• Designed as a dedicated towing/recovery anchor, not a trailer coupling
• Robust construction helps resist bending or deformation under load

Will this shackle work with my truck or SUV?

The shackle is universally compatible with Class IV (2") receivers, common on many ½-ton trucks and larger SUVs with factory tow packages. Check that your vehicle uses a standard 2" receiver opening to confirm fitment.

• Universal fit for 2" (Class IV) receiver tubes
• Works with factory and aftermarket hitch receivers without adapters
• Ideal for vehicles commonly used in off-road and towing situations

How should I use and maintain this recovery shackle?

Use the shackle as the attachment point for rated recovery straps, snatch straps, or winch extensions; avoid side-loading or using it as a trailer coupling. Periodically inspect for corrosion, wear, and secure fasteners to maintain safe operation.

• Attach straps or rigging directly to the shackle for recovery
• Do not use the shackle for trailer tongue coupling or constant towing loads
• Inspect pin, body, and finish before each use and replace if damaged

Who is this for: The Rhino USA Shackle Hitch Receiver is designed for drivers who demand a proper, rated recovery anchor—off-road enthusiasts, fleet operators, tow professionals, and anyone who tows or recovers vehicles. If you own a vehicle with a 2" receiver and want a safer, stronger alternative to hooking straps to a hitch ball or improper points, this shackle offers a quick, universal solution built for high-strength recovery scenarios.
