Reinventing Recovery: Why Saber’s HDX-Bound Shackles Are the Perfect Match for Real-World 4WD Challenges.

At Saber Offroad, our mission has always been simple — to make recovery safer, smarter, and stronger. The HDX Technora®-Bound Soft Shackle range isn’t just another piece of recovery gear; it’s the result of years of real-world testing and feedback from off-roaders, commercial operators, and professionals who demand more from their equipment.

As Steve Handbury, Saber’s Director of Product Development, explains:
“Soft shackles themselves are not new, but we’ve changed the game when it comes to durability with our Technora Bound HDX range. What started as a solution for a commercial partner’s challenge became a complete evolution in recovery.”

The Real Problem: Sharp Edges and Harsh Conditions

Anyone who’s spent time off-road knows recovery doesn’t always happen in ideal conditions. Square-edged recovery points, mud, sand, and heavy loads can quickly turn a simple recovery into a test of your gear — and your patience.

That’s where Saber’s patented Technora®-Bound HDX Shackles shine. Designed to withstand abrasion, friction, and deformation, they thrive where traditional soft shackles fail.

The benefit: You can connect directly to square-edged recovery points without worrying about damage or weakening the shackle — saving both time and gear in the process.

Built for Confidence — Not Just Capacity

Sure, numbers matter. The HDX range offers working loads from 7,000kg to 60,000kg, but what really matters is confidence — knowing your recovery gear will hold up in any situation.

Each shackle combines the flexibility and light weight of soft shackles with the rugged durability of Technora fiber binding. That means they stay strong, stable, and easy to handle even in wet, muddy, or gritty conditions.

The benefit: Fewer moving parts, less metal, and no second-guessing. Just reliable performance when you need it most.

Trusted by Those Who Can’t Afford Failure

Saber’s HDX Range isn’t just built for weekend adventures — it’s proven in the toughest professional environments. From Fire & Rescue teams to Forestry and Military operations, our HDX Soft Shackles have become trusted tools for people who work where failure simply isn’t an option.

The benefit: You’re using the same recovery technology relied upon by professionals who recover vehicles weighing tens of tonnes — because safety and reliability don’t stop where the bitumen ends.

From 4WD to Heavy-Duty

Whether you’re winching out of a bog hole or managing a commercial recovery, there’s an HDX shackle designed for the job. With extended-length versions in 10,000kg, 16,000kg, and 24,500kg capacities, the HDX range provides the reach and flexibility to suit any setup.

The benefit: One system, endless possibilities. The same recovery principle scales from your 4WD weekend trips to heavy transport or industrial use.

Setting the New Standard for Safe Recovery

At Saber Offroad, we believe recovery should be safe, simple, and dependable. That belief drives everything we design. With our patented Technora-bound construction, real-world testing, and proven results, the HDX Soft Shackles are redefining what’s possible in offroad recovery.

The benefit: More confidence in every pull, more durability with every use, and peace of mind that your recovery setup won’t let you down — no matter where you’re headed.
