Yankum Kinetic Recovery Rope (1.7/8x20/30ft) Tow Strap Kit for Trucks

Product Description: Yankum Kinetic Recovery Ropes

Where are these manufactured? In the beautiful state of Idaho! Yankum is unique in the industry as they take bare nylon fiber and go through the entire process of spinning, braiding, tying the eyes, dipping, and tagging it, all in-house.

Why are these better than a strap or chain? Yankum ropes are designed for recovery, not towing. They stretch and store energy, which when released helps recover stuck vehicles more efficiently and smoothly. Straps and chains are more likely to snap or break from being jerked.

Should I buy a 20-foot or 30-foot rope? Most people opt for a 30-foot rope, as it is best suited for sand, snow, or mud recoveries. The additional length allows the recovery vehicle more space to get a running start before the recovery.

What is the best way to connect the rope to another vehicle? Yankum recommends using a soft shackle when a smooth radius is available. If the recovery point has square or sharp edges, they suggest using a hard shackle. For a 7/8" rope, a 7/16" soft shackle and a 3/4" hard shackle are recommended.

What size rope should I get? Consider the safe working load limit of the rope. For example, with an MBS of 28k lbs and a factor of safety of 4, the rope will perform best and safely for vehicles 7k lbs or less.

Durability: Yankum uses their "Code Red" Y Polymeric coating to protect the rope against UV, water, and abrasion. They also dip the eyes in a thick, protective rubber coating to ensure extended life where it matters most - during Yankum kinetic recovery.

Yankum kinetic recovery ropes are not towing ropes; they are designed specifically for recovery purposes, offering a smooth and efficient solution compared to straps or chains.
