NTR 1-1/8" x 30' Kinetic Recovery Tow Rope 37,480 lbs 🚗
Description:
This kinetic recovery tow rope delivers dynamic stretch to reduce shock load during vehicle recoveries, combining a 1-1/8" diameter and 30 foot length for mid-range pulls. It is made with high-tenacity nylon 66 that allows up to 35% elongation, helping extract vehicles from mud, sand, snow or steep inclines with smoother force transfer.
Key Points
The rope features a double diamond braid with a vinyl polymer coating that improves abrasion and UV resistance while making the surface easier to clean. Both ends are sealed with polyurethane coverings to protect against wear and corrosion. The kit includes two soft shackles made from UHMWPE fiber, offering high strength while avoiding the sharp edges and rust issues of metal D-ring shackles. These soft shackles reduce risk of chafing and concentrate less stress on anchor points during a snatch recovery.
Because the rope uses kinetic energy rather than rigid towing, it reduces the instantaneous shock to vehicle frames when tension is applied. According to the manufacturer, the safety factor for this line is 1:4 and each rope undergoes quality inspections. Consider that actual performance depends on factors like slope, surface, and vehicle weight, so choose appropriate attachment points and use with compatible rated fittings.

Usage Recommendations
Start each recovery by checking anchor points and routing the rope so it will not rub on sharp edges. Lay the rope flat and avoid knots which can concentrate load. When a snatch is required, use a short, controlled pull to let the rope stretch and store energy, then allow the kinetic action to release the vehicle smoothly. For safer handling, rig soft shackles to recovery points rather than hooking to tow balls or bumpers that are not rated for dynamic loads.
Keep the rope clean and dry after use to prolong life. Store away from direct sunlight when possible and inspect the vinyl coating and braided sheath before each outing for signs of abrasion or cuts. If the sheath is compromised or fibers are frayed, retire the rope or repair with manufacturer-approved components. 🧰🚙
Avoid using this kinetic rope with winches or metal cables in the same recovery configuration, because different components respond to loads differently. Also note that extreme temperatures are tolerated by the polymer coating, however very cold conditions can affect flexibility and handling compared to moderate climates.
