Tow Strap or Recovery Strap — Which One for This Situation?
A tow strap and a recovery strap look identical and serve completely different purposes. Using the wrong one in a recovery can break both vehicles.
Select your situation: towing on-road vs off-road extraction. The selector explains the difference, gives correct WLL requirements, and recommends the right product.
Tow straps are static — no stretch. Recovery straps (KERRs) are kinetic — designed for dynamic loading. Snap-loading a static tow strap risks hardware failure at both ends.
Anyone building or using a vehicle recovery kit.
- SAE J1881 kinetic recovery rope standards
- ASTM F1683
- TREAD Lightly recovery guidelines
