Vehicle recovery is all apart of travelling off-road, not the sign of a journey gone wrong. To be fully equipped for whatever lies ahead, 4WD travellers and their 4x4 should always be prepared to perform a snatch or winch recovery to extract a vehicle in need. The TJM Heavy Duty Recovery Kit has everything you need, partnered with your rated recovery points and/or recovery winch to perform almost all types of vehicle recoveries confidently and safely. Inside its durable gear bag is an 11T snatch strap, a 10T equaliser strap, a 6T winch extension strap, a 10T snatch block with instruction booklet, two 16mm bow shackles, two 19mm bow shackles, a recovery blanket with instruction booklet and a pair of recovery gloves, as well as a handy snatch strap safety guidelines booklet. Remember to ensure a safe snatch strap recovery, it's recommended that the minimum breaking strength of the strap should be 2-3 times the Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of the lightest vehicle.

Know before you buy

Before you buy recovery gear

Recovery gear stores enormous energy when it's working, so the right ratings and the right attachment points matter more than anything else in the kit.

  1. Rated recovery points

    Only attach straps to rated recovery points. Never to a tow ball, tow bar, tie-down point or tow hook: that warning is required on every recovery strap sold in Australia.

  2. Strap strength

    A snatch strap's minimum breaking strength should be about 2 to 3 times the gross vehicle mass of the lighter vehicle. Wet straps are weaker.

  3. Winch size

    Choose a winch rated at least 1.5 times your vehicle's gross weight (Warn). Size it on the loaded vehicle, not the empty one.

  4. Shackles and dampers

    Use rated shackles (ARB says 3.25 t minimum for bow shackles), put a damper over the strap, and keep everyone back at least 1.5 times the strap's length (ARB).

Common questions

Can I use my tow ball as a recovery point?

No. The national recovery strap standard requires a warning never to attach straps to tow balls, tow bars, tie-down points or tow hooks. Use rated recovery points only.

What strap rating do I need?

A minimum breaking strength of around 2 to 3 times the gross vehicle mass of the lighter vehicle, under the recovery strap safety standard.

What size winch do I need?

At least 1.5 times your vehicle's gross weight (Warn), based on the loaded vehicle with all its accessories.

Snatch strap or kinetic rope?

Both stretch to store energy for a recovery. Whichever you use, it isn't for lifting or towing, and it must go between rated points with a damper draped over it.

What should be in a basic recovery kit?

A strap rated for your vehicle, rated shackles or soft shackles, a damper, gloves and recovery boards. A winch extension strap and tree trunk protector help if you have a winch.
