Kinetic Rope

A kinetic rope is a specialized recovery rope that stretches and absorbs energy during vehicle recovery. Unlike traditional ropes that can snap, kinetic ropes can elongate by up to 30%, allowing for a smoother transfer of energy. This reduces the risk of damage to both vehicles and enhances safety during the recovery process.

The MAXTRAX Recovery System is designed for off-road vehicle recovery and includes tools like recovery boards and kinetic ropes. When a vehicle gets stuck in mud, sand, or snow, this system provides a user-friendly solution to help free it. The combination of these tools ensures effective recovery, making it ideal for off-road enthusiasts.

MBS stands for Maximum Break Strength, which indicates the maximum weight or force a rope can handle before breaking. For the MAXTRAX Kinetic Rope, the MBS is 26,455 lbs, meaning it can safely manage heavy loads during recovery. Understanding MBS is crucial for safety, as using equipment beyond its rated strength can lead to dangerous failures.

A fuse shackle is a safety feature designed to break under extreme loads, preventing damage to vehicles or recovery equipment. By using a fuse shackle with your recovery rope, you ensure that if something goes wrong, the shackle will fail in a controlled manner, minimizing the risk of injury or further damage during the recovery process.

Elongation refers to the ability of a rope to stretch under load. The MAXTRAX Kinetic Rope can elongate by up to 30%, which helps absorb shock and energy during recovery. This property is essential for making the recovery process smoother and safer, protecting both the vehicle being rescued and the recovery team from sudden jerks or snaps.

Yes, the MAXTRAX Recovery System is versatile and can be used for a wide range of vehicles, including trucks, SUVs, and off-road vehicles. Its design and components are engineered to handle various recovery situations, making it an excellent choice for anyone who ventures off the beaten path.
