STRUT STRAP
A variety of Strut Straps are available to suit a wide array of towing needs. Some of the available
options include:
• Length.
• Width.
• Single or dual ply construction.
• Metal “D” rings to attach the Strut Strap to the Winch Strap.
For most aircraft types, use a Strut Strap length that ensures that the “D” rings (if equipped),
Winch Strap Hook, and aircraft oleo strut will not be damaged. The Strut Strap is equipped with
a replaceable Protective Sleeve that protects sensitive areas on the aircraft wheel strut. See the
Aircraft Towing Procedures Manual
for information on using a Strut Strap.
