Liros Offroad Performance - rigid recovery rope made of Dyneema with spliced soft shackles
I've been excited about the rope for years! Very good quality, brilliant idea to integrate the soft shackles, extremely versatile. With the exception of tree straps, I have retired all rescue straps since this rope was used. The rope only takes up about 1/3 of the space and 1/4 of the weight of a comparable recovery harness.
In my opinion, this rope belongs in every rescue set as basic equipment.
We use it except for recovery/towing in 12 meters length:
Another advantage: it doesn't soak up water and mud like the straps, but rather floats.
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 could get stuck when driving through water or mud, it makes sense to attach a rescue rope/belt to the rescue eye of the vehicle beforehand so that in the event of an emergency, a rope or a rope is not left in or under water Having to attach a belt. Ideally, the rope/belt can then be thrown to the rescue partner without leaving the vehicle. When using a rigid recovery belt/rope, jerky loads must be avoided at all costs in order to avoid damage to the vehicles or the rope/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 rope/belt, a kinetic belt or a kinetic rope may be possible 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, except for the Liros Offroad Performance thanks to the firmly spliced soft shackles.
