Hornrope recovery harness with GS certificate
This recovery strap is double stitched and also has a protective tube that can be moved if necessary.
The 6 meter belt is also too heavy and unwieldy for me personally. Due to our limited load capacity and little space, we replaced all straps except the tree straps with the light and handy Dyneema rescue ropes.
However, if you have enough space and don't have to look at every kilo, then this Horntools belt is definitely recommended as a price/performance winner.
It's a shame that Horntools doesn't have a 5-meter version, as this would also have been usable as a "tow rope" in the area of the StVO.
A recovery strap or recovery rope can be used to extend a winch extension strap that is too short or to recover a vehicle that is stuck off-road. If it is foreseeable that the vehicle may get stuck when driving through water or mud, it makes sense to attach a recovery strap to the recovery eye of the vehicle beforehand so that if the worst happens, you do not have to attach a rope or strap in or under water. Ideally, the rope/belt can then be thrown to the rescue partner without leaving the vehicle. When using a rigid recovery belt/rope, it is essential to avoid jerky loads in order to avoid damage to the vehicles or the belt. Particularly on normal road vehicles, the towing eyes are not designed for jerky loads and can tear out or deform the frame.
If a vehicle cannot be towed free with a normal recovery belt, a kinetic belt or a kinetic rope can be used be used for recovery. Attention: Do not attach kinetic ropes or straps to standard towing eyes!
To attach the recovery straps and ropes with eyes, additional shackles or soft shackles are required to attach them to the vehicle.
