00016 – Factor 55 Hawse Fairlead 1.0

Big Radius. Low Friction. Longer Rope Life. This is not your average Hawse fairlead. The Factor 55 1.0 Aluminum Hawse Fairlead is CNC machined in the USA from a solid 1-inch thick 6000 series aluminum bar — not the wimpy 0.75" fairleads most companies sell. Why go thicker? Because larger outer radii reduce friction on your synthetic winch rope during hard-angle pulls. That means less wear, less heat, and a longer lifespan for your rope — especially when things get sketchy off-camber or during suck-down winching. Also, if you're running larger ½” rope tube thimbles, this fairlead's taller slot is designed to let them pass cleanly — no snagging, no forcing, no sketchy jamming. Key Features: 1.0" thick 6000-series USA aluminum bar (CNC machined) Designed for synthetic winch rope only Taller slot height – fits larger ½” rope tube thimbles Extra-large outer fillet radius = less stress on rope Chamfered outer corners reduce stress when used for suspension suck-down Gunmetal gray
