Recovery questions
A kinetic recovery rope is made from nylon or polyester that stretches significantly under load, storing kinetic energy and providing a smooth, progressive pull. A snatch strap is a flat woven strap with less stretch. Select recovery equipment using its current rated capacity, instructions and the vehicle’s approved recovery points.
Compare the marked rating and current instructions for the exact products. Soft and steel shackles have different connection requirements; suitability depends on the recovery point and intended use.
At minimum: a kinetic rope or snatch strap, two rated shackles, a snatch block, tree trunk protector, and a pair of recovery tracks. A winch, hi-lift jack and compressor are strongly recommended for serious off-road travel.
