Black Rat heavy duty nylon recovery strap, 60 x 9

The Black Rat 4WD nylon heavy duty recovery strap is a 9 m open weave mesh 'snatch-em' strap made to recover a vehicle that is bogged.

MBS is minimum breaking strain, which is a breaking figure and not a working load limit. The advice is that the minimum breaking strength should be 2 to 3 times the vehicle's gross vehicle mass (GVM) and that the strap must suit the lighter of the two vehicles. Check that the strap you receive carries these markings. The nylon snatch strap page covers the 9,000, 12,000 and 30,000kg straps. Recovery gear should be matched to the vehicles and the job, inspected before every use, and not used if it is cut, frayed, worn or damaged.

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose the minimum breaking strain to suit the vehicles involved. The ACCC's guidance is 2 to 3 times the gross vehicle mass of the lighter vehicle, so work from the GVM on the compliance plate. Join the strap to rated recovery points with rated shackles.
