Full details

This Rhino USA Recovery Gear Combo is for off-road enthusiasts and adventurers needing a reliable recovery solution. Its key benefit is providing a strong, durable, and easy-to-use system for vehicle recoveries. A key caveat is that the tow strap is designed for static recoveries only, not dynamic ones, due to its limited stretch. The combo includes a 20' tow strap made from a poly-silk blend and a heavy-duty shackle hitch receiver with a break strength over 40,000lbs, along with a carry bag for storage.

FAQs

Can this tow strap be used for dynamic recoveries (kinetic pulls)?

No, the Rhino USA tow strap is designed for static recoveries only. It has a limited stretch of about 8%, intended to reduce shock during a steady pull, not for the high-energy demands of dynamic recoveries. For dynamic recoveries, use a dedicated kinetic recovery rope.

What is the break strength of the shackle hitch receiver?

The Rhino USA Shackle Hitch Receiver has a break strength of over 40,000lbs, lab-tested in the USA.

What is the length of the tow strap?

The tow strap included in this combo is 20 feet long.

What is the tow strap made of?

The tow strap is made from a unique blend of poly-silk, which provides durability and approximately 8% stretch.

Does this combo include the hitch pin and clip?

No, the hitch pin and clip are not included with the combo. You will need to use a standard hitch pin and clip compatible with your vehicle's 2-inch hitch receiver.

How should I clean the recovery gear?

Clean both the strap and the hitch receiver with plain water to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Store the gear dry in its carrybag.

How do I store the recovery gear?

The combo comes with a heavy-duty canvas carrybag. Use this bag to store the tow strap and shackle hitch receiver in a dry, protected area when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Strap shows signs of wear or fraying.

Discontinue use immediately. Inspect the strap thoroughly for damage. If significant wear or damage is present, replace the strap to ensure safety.

Shackle hitch receiver does not fit securely in the hitch.

Verify you are using a standard 2-inch hitch receiver. Ensure the hitch pin and clip are properly installed and securing the receiver tightly.

Difficulty attaching the strap to the shackle.

Ensure the strap loop is correctly aligned with the shackle opening and that the shackle pin is fully retracted or removed before placing the strap loop, then re-secure the pin.

Strap seems to stretch excessively during a pull.

This is unexpected for static recoveries. Double-check that you are not exceeding the strap's intended use and that the stretch is within the approximate 8% range. If excessive, inspect the strap for damage.
