Kinetic Recovery Rope by Wild Dog 4x4
- Description
- Specification
- WARNING
FEATURES:
- Allows for an even pull during recoveries
- Stretches up to 40%
- Reduced stress to vehicle components
compared to static tow straps
- Professionally Manufactured and hand spliced in the RSA
Even Pull
Rigging a kinetic recovery rope in this manner reduces stress to
the individual recovery points on the vehicle and lessens the
chance of tweaking the frame during difficult extractions.
Kinetic
The Wild Dog 4x4® kinetic recovery rope is the ultimate recovery
rope. During vehicle extraction, the kinetic rope stretches and
absorbs enormous energy from the pulling vehicle. This energy
is then transferred to the stuck vehicle, resulting in an extremely
effective and efficient vehicle recovery.
Stretch characteristics will reduce relative to the amount
of use and can lose 10% of its tensile strength when wet.
Shock absorbing
Under max load, a kinetic recovery rope will stretch up to 40%.
This stretch helps relieve the jerking action commonly felt during
vehicle recovery, effectively reducing the amount of stress put
through a vehicle and its occupants.
Strong
Professionally hand-spliced in the RSA, the kinetic recovery rope
is comprised of an Fibre Dyed Orange Nylon to provide
maximum strength and protection from the elements.
Protective Sleeve
The kinetic rope can also be ordered with a protective sleeving to protect your recovery rope and prolong the lifetime of the kinetic rope.

Kinetic ropes can be very dangerous if used incorrectly, both to people or property. Because of the more than 35% stretch of a kinetic rope, the forces created with momentum can easily overcome the breaking limits of anchoring points, connectors (shackles), or the kinetic rope. The elasticity of the kinetic rope can create a slingshot effect, which can cause serious damage or injury to people. The manufacturer of these kinetic ropes can not be held responsible for any damage or injury caused.
Basic Principles to keep in mind when using a kinetic rope:
- – The first rule is not to expose you or your vehicle to any harm by getting stuck.
- – The recovery vehicle must be of similar weight to the bogged down vehicle.
- – Only use anchoring points on vehicle that are connected directly to the chassis and are rated by the manufacturer.
- – Only use correct size rated connectors (shackles).
- – Never use a kinetic rope on a winch or as a winch cable extension.
- – Never tie knots in a kinetic rope when connecting it to a vehicle.
- – Never use a damaged kinetic rope.
- – Add 35% of the ropes length in the direction of pull, make a mark on the ground, and never exceed this distance with the recovery vehicle when pulling.
- – Beware of bystanders in the radius of the length of the rope.
- – Keep the rope clean and free from sand or grit.
