The Rhino USA Recovery Tow Strap is designed for vehicle owners and off-road enthusiasts needing a reliable and strong strap for static vehicle recoveries. Its key benefit is exceptional durability and a high break strength of 31,518 lbs, minimizing risks associated with traditional metal hooks. A potential caveat is that it's primarily for static pulls, not dynamic snatch recoveries.

It includes a convenient storage bag.

FAQs

What is the difference between static and dynamic recovery?

Static recovery involves a slow, steady pull to dislodge a stuck vehicle, using a strap with minimal stretch. Dynamic recovery (snatch recovery) uses a strap with more stretch (a snatch strap) to create momentum for pulling. The Rhino USA strap is designed for static recoveries.

Can I use this strap with a snatch block or winch?

While the strap is primarily for vehicle-to-vehicle pulls, it can be incorporated into winch setups for added safety or leverage, provided all components are rated appropriately and used with caution.

How should I store the strap to ensure its longevity?

Store the strap clean, dry, and completely in the provided drawstring bag, away from UV light, chemicals, and extreme temperatures.

What are the reinforced eyelets for?

The reinforced eyelets are an added layer of protection to prevent the strap from fraying or tearing at the connection points where it is most stressed.

Is this strap suitable for towing long distances?

No, this recovery tow strap is specifically designed for emergency vehicle recovery situations, not for continuous towing.

How do I know if my vehicle has proper recovery points?

Consult your vehicle's owner's manual. Proper recovery points are typically frame-mounted and specifically designed or marked for towing or recovery.

Troubleshooting

Strap appears frayed or damaged.

Cease use immediately. Inspect for tears, cuts, or excessive abrasion. If damage is significant, replace the strap. Minor surface fuzzing from the poly-silk blend is normal, but structural damage is not.

Difficulty getting a secure connection.

Ensure you are using proper recovery points on both vehicles and appropriate shackles or hooks. Check that the strap eyelets are not obstructed.

Strap not stretching as expected.

The engineered stretch is approximately 8% and is designed to activate under significant load. Ensure the strap is properly tensioned and the pull is steady. Excessive stretching or snapping indicates a potential issue or overload.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional break strength for heavy-duty use.
  • Durable construction with reinforced eyelets for longevity.
  • Safer than straps with metal hooks due to reduced projectile risk.
  • Provides smoother pulls with controlled stretch.
  • Includes a convenient storage bag.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for static recoveries; not ideal for dynamic snatch pulls.
  • Requires proper technique to utilize the stretch effectively.
  • Can be heavier and bulkier than smaller, lower-strength straps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Inspect the strap for any signs of wear, cuts, or abrasions before each use. Ensure the eyelets are intact.
  2. Securely attach one end of the strap to a rated recovery point on the stuck vehicle (e.g., frame-mounted recovery hook or shackle mount).
  3. Attach the other end to a rated recovery point on the recovery vehicle.
  4. Ensure a clear path for the vehicles and remove any slack in the strap before initiating the pull.

Compatibility:

This strap is compatible with most vehicles equipped with appropriate recovery points. It is best suited for use with shackles or recovery hooks on both the stuck and recovery vehicles. Avoid attaching to temporary hitches or bumper components not designed for recovery.

Care:

  • After each use, clean the strap with plain water to remove dirt, mud, and debris. A soft brush can be used if necessary.
  • Allow the strap to air dry completely before storing.
  • Store the strap in the included heavy-duty drawstring bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and chemicals.
  • Regularly inspect for damage. Discontinue use immediately if any significant wear or damage is observed.
