KINETIC SNATCH ROPE
KEY INFORMATION & SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
• Check the strap/rope and its packaging for the stated Minimum Breaking Strength
(MBS) of this strap/rope.
• It is recommended that the minimum breaking strength of the strap/rope should be
between 2 and 3 times the vehicle’s gross vehicle mass (GVM);
and
• The strap/rope must be suited to the GVM of the lighter of the two vehicles used in
the recovery process
• Persons intending to use the strap/rope should consider completing a nationally
recognised four wheel drive
training course or contact a four wheel drive club for
comprehensive advice on the proper selection and use
of
the strap/rope.
• The strap/rope must not be used for lifting or conventional towing.
• Persons intending to use the strap/rope must ensure that the strap/rope is not
damaged and is in usable condition.
Mean Mother Snatch Ropes have been designed to stretch 30% and spring back
to the original length in a recovery operation. Similarly to a rubber band
springing back after stretching, a snatch rope being stretched between two vehicles
generates a kinetic energy pulling force as the rope returns to its original
length. The combination of the recovery vehicle pull and the pulling force from
the rope creates a 'snatching' effect that can heave a stranded vehicle free
from being bogged or unable to move under its own power. When used in
accordance with the “Guidelines for safe use of Vehicle Recovery Ropes and Snatch
Ropes”, vehicles may be recovered with minimal risk of injury to people or damage
to vehicle equipment.
