Full details
This Rhino USA Recovery Tow Strap is designed for off-road enthusiasts and vehicle owners needing a reliable recovery solution. Its primary benefit is exceptional break strength and durability for safe, static vehicle recoveries. A key consideration is its limitation to static recoveries only, not dynamic ones.

FAQs
What is the difference between static and dynamic recovery?
Static recovery involves a slow, steady pull with minimal stretch. Dynamic recovery uses momentum and significant stretch (like a bungee cord) for pulling. This Rhino USA strap is designed *only* for static recoveries.
Can I use this strap with metal hooks?
No, this strap is designed without metal hooks to prevent them from becoming dangerous projectiles if the strap breaks. Use appropriate shackles or direct attachment to recovery points.
How do I clean the recovery strap?
Rinse the strap thoroughly with clean water to remove all dirt and mud. Allow it to air dry completely before storing it in its bag.
What is the break strength of this strap?
The Rhino USA Recovery Tow Strap has a break strength of 40,320 lbs.
What are the dimensions of the strap?
The strap measures 4 inches wide and 30 feet long.
Is a storage bag included?
Yes, a heavy-duty drawstring storage bag is included for convenient organization and protection of the strap.
Can this strap be used for tie-down purposes?
While durable, this strap is specifically engineered and rated for vehicle recovery. For tie-down applications, it's recommended to use products specifically designed for load securing.
Troubleshooting
Strap appears to be fraying or shows signs of wear.
Discontinue use immediately. Inspect the entire length for damage. If significant wear or damage is found, the strap should be retired and replaced to ensure safety.
Strap is difficult to attach to recovery points.
Ensure you are using designated recovery points on the vehicles. Check for obstructions or damage to the strap's eyelets. Consider using shackles if compatible with your recovery points and strap eyelets.
Strap doesn't seem to stretch as expected.
The poly-silk blend provides approximately 8% stretch. If no stretch is felt, ensure the load is appropriate for the strap's capacity. Overloading can reduce or eliminate stretch. Ensure the recovery is performed smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Inspect the strap for any signs of damage before each use.
- Securely attach one end of the strap to a designated recovery point on the vehicle that needs assistance (e.g., a frame-mounted tow hook or shackle mount).
- Attach the other end to a similar recovery point on the assisting vehicle.
- Ensure the strap is running in a straight line between the vehicles, free from sharp edges or obstructions.
- Perform the recovery using a slow, steady pull. Never use a running start or dynamic pulling.
Compatibility:
This strap is compatible with most standard vehicle recovery points. It is designed for use with vehicles that have appropriate, reinforced recovery points. Always ensure the break strength of the strap exceeds the weight of the vehicle being recovered and the pulling force required.
Care:
- After use, clean the strap with plain water to remove dirt, mud, and debris.
- Allow the strap to air dry completely before storing.
- Store the strap in its included drawstring bag in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and chemicals.
- Regularly inspect the strap for frays, cuts, or wear. Discontinue use if any damage is detected.
