With a wide range of options available for marine and recovery ropes, it is important to understand the benefits and limitations of each option. In marine contexts, it is often necessary to have a range of ropes for use in different contexts in order to provide a comprehensive range of solutions. Similarly, it is essential to have a range of different ropes available to effectively recover motor vehicles.
Some of the main ropes used in this context include tow rope, tow straps, winch lines and kinetic recovery ropes. At the outset of many recovery jobs, kinetic rope often provides a crucial starting point. The elastic nature of kinetic rope means that the risk of damage is reduced on both the recovery vehicle and the vehicle being recovered. This elasticity also means that kinetic ropes are less likely to break during recovery jobs.
For further information on kinetic rope’s wide-ranging benefits, read more below.
Practicality
One of the main reasons why kinetic ropes are favoured in recovery jobs is that the elasticity reduces damage to recovery vehicles. In order to recover a car that is stuck, in some instances, it can be necessary to build up some momentum in order to maximise the power of the recovery vehicle. The elasticity of kinetic ropes means that it is possible to utilise the momentum of a vehicle whilst ensuring that there will not be damage to the towing apparatus of a vehicle when the rope becomes taut.
Durability
In addition to reducing the initial force on the towing apparatus of recovery vehicles, the elasticity of recovery ropes reduces the initial force on the rope improving long-term durability. This improves the cost-effectiveness of a rope purchase and reduces the risk of any further damage to recovered vehicles in instances where other ropes might fail.
Versatility
Kinetic ropes are a versatile option providing a useful recovery solution in a wide range of contexts. With a range of options available 8-strand recovery ropes provide a stronger rope for heavier towing jobs than 3-strand recovery ropes. When choosing a nylon kinetic tow rope there are options available in a range of diameters and lengths depending on individual recovery requirements. High-quality kinetic recovery ropes also include durable soft eyes at each end to reduce the likelihood of damage to towing apparatus on either vehicle.
