Common Questions

Whats the difference between the a Snatch Strap & a Kinetic Rope?

Both Snatch Straps & Kinetic Ropes serve the same purpose where they are made to recover vehicles. You will find that Kinetic Ropes will offer up to 30% more stretch, which will provide a quicker & safer recovery.

What are the benefits of using a Kinetic Rope?

The main benefits include:

  • Smooth Recovery: The rope's elasticity reduces the shock load on both vehicles, preventing damage.

  • Increased Pulling Power: The stored kinetic energy in the rope provides a more powerful pull.

  • Durability: Kinetic ropes are typically more durable and resistant to wear and tear compared to static tow straps.

  • Safety: The reduced shock load minimises the risk of rope or attachment point failure.

How do I choose the right size and strength of a kinetic rope for my 4x4 vehicle?

To choose the right kinetic rope, consider the following:

  • Vehicle Weight: The breaking strength of the rope should be at least 2-3 times the weight of your vehicle.
  • Diameter: Thicker ropes typically offer higher strength but may be less flexible.
  • Usage: Consider the types of terrain and the frequency of use to ensure the rope meets your specific needs.

How do I properly use a kinetic rope for vehicle recovery?

  1. Inspect the Rope: Check for any signs of damage or wear before use.
  2. Attach the Rope: Securely attach the rope to rated recovery points on both vehicles.
  3. Communication: Ensure clear communication between the drivers of both vehicles.
  4. Gradual Pull: The recovery vehicle should gently accelerate to allow the rope to stretch and build up kinetic energy.
  5. Safety Distance: Maintain a safe distance and avoid standing near the rope during the recovery process.
