Recovery
Tow Ropes - Tow Straps |
|
Appropriate
Tow Ropes or Tow Straps are the most basic and essential
recovery tool for any vehicle including all wheel drive
such as a Subaru or even passenger cars used for exploration
of the countryside.
Tow
Straps and Tow Ropes can only be used for Dynamic (Vehicle
to Vehicle) recoveries. They should never be
used with winches (static pull) due to the stretch they
are designed to have to aid in a vehicle to vehicle
dynamic pull. For this reason Viking Offroad and ARB
distinguish the colors of the straps. Our Orange
strap is for dynamic pulls, and our Green Strap
is for static winching. These straps should not be mixed.
WARNING:
It is essential that kinetic tow straps/ropes be affixed
to true recovery points that can withstand the force
of one vehicle pulling or towing another. |

Viking
Offroad Kinetic Tow / Recovery Straps
2"
x 30' - 17,500 Lb. MBS
(50mm x 9m - 8mt MBS)
PN: 100760
The
Viking Tow Strap is the best quality strap made. It
is 100% Made in the USA and features the Max Edge which
is an anti abrasion edge to protect the strap. Edges
are the highest wear area of straps.
The
Viking Straps also features some of the strongest stitching
available with extremely tough eye guards to protect
the business end of the straps. The eye size is also
key to strength, these straps have some of the largest
eyes of any straps which reduces the angular loading
thus increasing the strength.

The
35,000 Lb. strap is two layers of the above mentioned
2" strap sewn together, so its the equivalent of a 4" strap, but easier to
store due to the low profile.

Viking
Kinetic Recovery / Tow Ropes
Why
Choose a Viking Kinetic Recovery Tow Rope over a strap?
The Viking Tow Ropes stretch 30% at breaking point which
makes them more effective than straps. The high degree
of stretch makes the Recovery Ropes extremely effective.
The point of a Recovery Rope or Snatch Strap is to provide
stretch in a dynamic pull (opposite is true for winchlines
in a static pull). The more stretch the more kinetic
energy is built up to help move the vehicle, and the
less impact on the vehicle itself.
Viking
Kinetic Recovery Tow Ropes are made from 100% Premium
DuPont™ Nylon Double Braid. Our ropes are dyed
black to minimize discoloration when dirty and to maintain
better visibility when used in snow and sand. Eyes are
protected with heavy duty nylon guards with strength
identofied. All our ropes are 100% US made: both fiber
and assembly.
When
choosing a Tow Rope size, plan the breaking strength
to be approximately 3 times the weight of your vehicle.
For larger vehicles this number is closer to the weight
of the vehicle.
SAFETY
NOTE: Do not use Tow Ropes or Tow Straps (kinetic snatch
straps etc.) with winches. Never connect ropes / straps
end to end with other kinetic ropes / straps with shackles
or metal connectors. |
