Tow Straps & Recovery Straps

Tow Straps & Recovery Straps for Off-Road Use

Recovery straps are designed to safely transfer load during vehicle recovery situations. Choosing the correct strap type is critical for safe, controlled recovery—especially when pulling a stuck vehicle.

Strap Types Explained

  • Tow Straps — Low-stretch straps for controlled pulls on firm terrain or vehicle transport.
  • Kinetic Recovery Straps — Designed to stretch and store energy, helping free stuck vehicles in sand, mud, or snow.

Always use rated recovery points and match strap capacity to vehicle weight. If you’re unsure which strap is right for your setup, contact us and we’ll help you choose.

Off-Road Recovery Buyer Guide & Safety Info

What recovery gear do I need?

Recovery gear is used to safely extract a vehicle when traction is lost in mud, sand, snow, or rocks. Common recovery tools include winches, straps, shackles, traction mats, jacks, and recovery kits designed for controlled, safe recoveries.

Your setup should match vehicle weight, terrain, and how often you venture off-road.

Winch vs strap vs kinetic rope

  • Winches provide controlled, powered recoveries and are ideal for solo travel.

  • Recovery straps are used for steady pulls between vehicles.

  • Kinetic ropes stretch under load to deliver smoother, dynamic recoveries when another vehicle is available.

Each tool serves a different purpose and can be combined in a complete recovery setup.

Shackles, recovery points & safe connections

Recovery should only be performed using rated recovery points and hardware. D-rings, soft shackles, and recovery mounts are designed to handle recovery loads safely when used correctly.

Never attach recovery gear to suspension components or non-rated mounting points.

Traction aids & manual recovery tools

Traction mats and jacks can help free a vehicle without pulling force. These tools are especially useful in sand, snow, or uneven terrain where winching or towing isn’t possible.

They’re often used as the first step before powered recovery.

Safety considerations

Always use recovery gear rated for your vehicle’s weight and intended use. Maintain safe distances, use dampers when winching, and follow manufacturer guidelines during recovery operations.

Improper recovery techniques can result in vehicle damage or personal injury.

Installation & compatibility notes


Some recovery gear—such as winches and recovery points—requires vehicle-specific mounting or bumper compatibility. Always verify fitment, load ratings, and mounting requirements before purchasing.
