Recovery
Gear
How
many accessories have you bought since getting your new 4x4? And how many of
those do you ever actually use? See below for explanations of some gear,
as well as Sales of recovery gear.

Confused
??!
WHAT
SHOULD I BUY? WHAT DO I NEED?
There
are a huge number of accessories and recovery equipment available on the
market, and it's important to only buy what you need. All that gear
can cost a fortune, and you want to ensure you get your money's
worth.
I
can also supply you with equipment throughout Southern Africa. See Sales
below. |

These
kinetic
/ snatch ropes pictured on the left are my
speciality. They are a lifetime purchase
because of their durability and strength, they have up to 50% stretch at
MBS (Maximum Breaking Strength), and you can use them repeatedly without
having to wait for them 'recover'.
Tip:
Being nylon they will harden if left in direct sunlight over a long
period of time, and you can therefore buy a cover for added protection
(pictured in blue). These nylon ropes have been in use for
more than 50 years, and are therefore obviously tried and tested.
It's
critically important to match the vehicle mass to the correct MBS
rating, and I cover the calculation of this formula in my
Offroad
Training Courses.

Pictured
here are STATIC STRAPS, and BOW-
and D-SHACKLES. As with
kinetic straps, the MBS ratings are critically important, and my straps
are all ISO and SABS approved.
Tip:
Always check the stitching and for frayed edges - the strap then becomes
dangerous to use.

Any
shackle that you purchase must be industry
rated. On the left you can see that this shackle is
rated for 4¾ tons.
Tip:
When tightening a shackle, do the following - screw the shackle closed
(finger-tight), and then loosen it by half a turn. This will
prevent the shackle from tightening under strain, ensuring that you'll
never ever get it loose! |
