Kinetic ropes are fantastic for snatching vehicles from mud or sand and offer superior performance over commonly used flat snatch straps. Sherpa kinetic ropes are made from high stretch quality double braid nylon ensuring a long life and exceptional performance.
When using a recovery rope, the vehicle performing the recovery takes a short run up to generate kinetic energy before the rope goes tight. This kinetic energy is then transferred via the rope in the form of stretch, to the stuck vehicle. A sling shot effect is applied to the stuck vehicle causing it to lunge forward. The operation is similar to stretching a elastic band between your fingers and when performed with the Sherpa kinetic rope is smooth and controlled.
Sherpa kinetic recovery ropes have a guaranteed minimum 30% stretch which means the sling shot effect is much greater then an ordinary flat snatch strap. Having this additional stretch means recoveries are softer on the vehicles with less of a jolt on the equipment and individuals. Once you use a quality kinetic recovery rope you will never want to go back to the flat snatch strap.
RECOVERY ROPE FEATURES:
How to select your recovery rope rating:
As a rule of thumb, select a recovery rope rated to at least 3 times your vehicles Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM). Your vehicles GVM is often printed on the sticker inside your vehicles door.
As an example, common 4x4 vehicles such as a Nissan Patrol, Toyota Landcruiser will have a GVM of ~3,300kg. Many of the popular dual cab utes like the D-Max, Hilux or Ranger are around the 3,000kg rating. The Sherpa 22mm (7/8") recovery rope achieves a rating of 13,300 kg which suits the majority of users including those towing a van or boat. For people running massive trucks or those who just don't want to mess around, the 38mm (1-1/2") recovery rope has you covered. This rope is so strong it can be used to recover mining equipment and industrial trucks, ideal for military applications.
Note: Nylon ropes can loose up to 10% of their rated strength with continued immersion in water.
| Diameter | Length | Minimum Breaking Strain (MBS) |
|---|---|---|
| 22mm (7/8") | 9m (30ft) | 13,300 kg (29,260 lb) |
| 38mm (1-1/2") | 9m (30ft) | 33,600 kg (73,920 lb) |

Bought a pair of Quick Fist mounts for my roof rack to attach a shovel for when we go offroading/beach driving. Found Trek to be the cheapest around, also super fast express postage. Very happy with the service and product I received. Will definitely be back for other items. Cheers guys

Awesome shop, great range and fantastic service by a very helpful and patient staff member. (I made many changes and they weren’t annoyed like you get from some places)
I highly recommend these guys for off-road and trailer parts

Had a hidden winch mount and winch fitted to my Amarok. After dropping the car off I received a phone call to say this would not fit with the recovery points I had allready fitted, a bit dissapointed I told them to go ahead and remove the recovery points to fit the winch. When I arrived to pick the car up at about 17.15 (they waited for me after closing because I was running late), the first thing I noticed was that the recovery points and winch had been fitted. The technician went out of his way to make it all fit after all with a bit of handywork (cursing me under his breath I'm sure). Very friendly service, great people. I will definitely be back for the next upgrade!
