Black Snake Kevlar® Recovery Strops
Recovery/towing of mine vehicles, heavy commercial, military, and skid mounted equipment
The endless parallel lay configuration of the KEVLAR® fibres, coupled with high strength steel eyes encased in a thick, rubber cover, creates lightweight, rugged and very high break strength strops. From 4 metres up to 20 metres in length and ranging from 10-400 tonnes break strength, Black Snake KEVLAR® Recovery strops are suitable for most recovery situations in mine operations and heavy duty applications. With over 18,000 KEVLAR® Recovery Strops produced, Black Snake KEVLAR® Recovery strops provide a practical and proven alternative to wire rope, chain or fibre rope/round-sling/webbing straps.

- Ultra high strength to weight ratio, flexibility for easy use and handling
- Low elongation of 4%, low recoil properties from the KEVLAR® fibres and the thick cover provide a safe energy damping feature in case of over-loading the strop during recovery.
- Abrasion/cut resistant rubber protects the inner KEVLAR® fibres from the elements and keeps out oil, water, mud and dust allowing it to be virtually maintenance free.
- Easy to install with various shaped eyelets available that are sized to fit standard connections. Special thimbles can also be fitted according to customer requirements.
- Individual serial number and embedded RFID for full traceability.
- Break strength is the applied load at which the recovery strop fails
- Maximum GVW is the maximum recommended gross vehicle weight of a severely bogged vehicle for a given tow strop
- Severely bogged vehicle is judged as resting on its axles or chassis. The vehicle is being dragged with no rolling of the wheels. Resistance force is 75% of vehicle weight. Weights of strops are approximate and are subject to change without notice.
*All attachments, shackles, hooks must have a greater minimum break strength than the recovery strop
Break Strength denotes the applied load at which the Recovery Strop fails. (i.e.: 50 tonne (f) =490.5kN applied force)
Nominal length refers to the measured length of the strop taken from inside each eyelet.
