2" HYDRA HITCH SOFT SHACKLE/STEEL SHACKLE HITCH
HYDRA HITCH™ – Dual-Sided Recovery Hitch
The industry’s first recovery hitch compatible with both steel shackles and soft shackles.
The Next Evolution in Recovery Gear
Meet the HYDRA HITCH™—the industry’s first dual-sided recovery hitch built for both steel and soft shackles. Precision-machined from 7075-T6 billet aluminum, the HYDRA HITCH™ combines unmatched strength, versatility, and design innovation. Featuring our exclusive TRUE SMOOTH™ radius for synthetic rope protection and a solid platform for steel shackles, it’s the only hitch engineered to perform flawlessly in any recovery setup. Proudly Made in the USA, laser-etched for safety, and finished in durable Prismatic Powder Coat or Cerakote®, the HYDRA HITCH™ sets a new standard for strength, safety, and simplicity.
Dual-Sided Design
- 
Smooth Radius Side: Precision-machined TRUE SMOOTH™ radius edges minimize friction and fiber wear when using soft shackles or synthetic recovery lines.
 - 
Flat Pin Platform Side: Optimized for steel screw pin shackles, providing a secure, even load surface.
Simply flip, insert, and lock into your hitch receiver—ready for any recovery scenario.

Material Advantage
7075-T6 Aluminum provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio—rivaling steel while remaining lightweight and corrosion-resistant. Each hitch is CNC-machined to precise tolerances to ensure consistent performance under load.
Fiber Facts: UHMWPE
Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) is one of the strongest synthetic fibers available—pound for pound as strong as steel, yet significantly lighter and water-resistant.
Smooth contact surfaces are critical for maintaining the longevity of UHMWPE-based soft shackles and recovery ropes. The TRUE SMOOTH™ radius of the HYDRA HITCH™ minimizes abrasion and fiber wear, ensuring your recovery equipment performs safely and reliably for years to come.
