LOW STRETCH DYNEEMA RECOVERY STROP
Dyneema recovery strop, minimum breaking strength (MBS) 70,000Kg (70 Tonne). The high performance recovery strop for heavy agricultural & commercial vehicles. This recovery strap is designed to recover vehicles that are embedded in sand, mud etc. Made with Dyneema fibre, which makes them easy to handle and more efficient, they also drastically reduce the risk posed to workers handling them compared to wire rope. These ropes are 7 times lighter than steel at the same strength.
Features
- 70,000Kg minimum breaking strength (MBS)
- Manufactured from Lankhorst SK-78 genuine DSM Dyneema
- Made In Australia
- Ideal substitute for heavy chains or steel wire rope recovery strops
- Half the weight of a Kevlar strop, and 1/8th of the weight of a steel wire strop

Safe setup suggestions
- The Dyneema can be subject to cutting if not located correctly, do not set it up over sharp edges or acute angles
- Use of axle straps and bridal is recommended
- Use of correcly rated shackles is recommended
- Attach to a vehicle where the attachment point is rated (not tow ball or tow point)
- Do not exceed the minimum breaking strength
Safety GuidlinesMassive forces are being exerted when attempting vehicle recovery. Vehicle occupants and observers/bystanders risk severe injury or death from flying objects (such as tow balls and shackles) when the recovery strap is attached incorrectly. It is suggested you use the following points as the minimum guideline when attaching the strap prior to use.
- Never attach recovery straps to vehicle fitting such as tow balls, tow bars, tie down points or tow hooks.Only attach recovery straps to approved recovery point/device that is suitably rated for use with the strap.Before attempting vehicle recovery all passengers must exit the vehicle and stand as far away as possible.
- Importantly, many attachments, bolted, welded or shackled are not adequate to the tonnage placed on them. This may result in suden tearing and breaking causing violent rebound. It is recommended to use compatible shackles, axle & bridal straps.
