Stop Snatching. Start Pulling.
Most recovery gear is built for momentum, relying on a "running start" that shocks your drivetrain and snaps your straps.
We position our systems for Traction-Based Recovery. It’s about using your machine’s engine torque and tire grip to move the load steadily. No bungee-cord surge. No flying metal projectiles, just controlled power that moves the load.
Understanding recovery
Main Recovery Components
Tow Straps
Low-stretch recovery straps used to move immobilised equipment under controlled pull.
Designed to maintain steady force transfer and reduce sudden load spikes during recovery.
Learn more about tow strapsSoft Shackles
Synthetic connectors used to join recovery components without rigid metal hardware.
Used to reduce weight and improve flexibility at attachment points.

Method for understanding a machine’s real pulling capability under ground resistance.
Used to match recovery equipment to actual traction output rather than engine power.
Read our drawbar guideWhy Recovery Attempts Fail
The most common reasons recoveries fail
Ground & Traction Loss
Soft or unstable ground reduces effective traction between machine and surface.
Capacity Mismatch
Recovery vehicle doesn't generate sufficient force to overcome GVW and resistances.
Incorrect Load Angles
Side loading reduces effective pulling force and stresses connection points.
Shock Loading
Sudden force spikes exceed system limits and cause failure.
System-Based Recovery Planning
Each recovery setup should be matched across three variables:
Ground Resistance
Actual surface condition and resistance level affecting traction and movement efficiency.
TRACTION Capability
Effective pulling force available from the recovery vehicle under real operating conditions.
Load Path Alignment
Ability to maintain a straight, controlled pull between recovery vehicle and immobilised load.
