TJM TORQ Winch 12000LB with Yellow Synthetic Rope
When you’re off the beaten track, stuck and lacking traction, it’s not always as simple as relying on a mate with traction to bale you out. Steep inclines and muddy conditions are problematic and adding a second vehicle to the dilemma doesn’t help anybody. Using a TJM winch, with a wireless remote for added safety, is a much better way to successfully recover your 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
