Gloves

Heavy wearing and long lasting gloves are essential when handling winch cables, straps, blocks or any other recovery equipment to save yourself from mishaps and possible injuries.

If your offroad vehicle is fitted with a winch… then this is one of the most important accessories you can pack in your kit.

These sturdy gloves are found in the front pocket of the recovery kit. Use them to keep your hands free from injury! Also use them to keep your hands warm, dry and clean.

Storage Bag

The included kit bag is perfect if you already have some other recovery gear laying around your vehicle.

The small recovery bag gives you a handy bag to neatly pack away your gear for storage in your vehicle.

It is very important to have quick and easy access to all your recovery equipment, so this kit comes in a super strong tough duffle bag.

Each T-Max recovery kit has been carefully tailored to include the correct equipment for most recovery situations.

Best suited to the 4WD enthusiast who has a winch fitted to their vehicle.

Designed to maximise winch capabilities, performance and versatility.

This 8 piece kit offers the ability to self recover or perform a snatching recovery.

Includes the following components:

  • 8T Snatch Strap – 9 metre x 60 mm
    • All T-Max snatch straps are made and tested to meet the highest quality and strength standards in Australia. They are manufactured from 100% treated nylon webbing with reinforced eyelets to prolong operational life.
  • 4T Winch Strap – 10 metre x 50 mm
    • An winch strap is the ideal accessory for any winch, be it either a hand winch or electric winch. They are used to extend the length of a winch cable if it’s not long enough to anchor to a recovery point when fully extended.
  • 8T Tree Trunk Protector – 3 metre x 75 mm
    • The T-Max tree trunk protector is designed to protect the tree used as an anchor point for your recovery. If you use anything other than a tree trunk protector you risk damaging both the tree and your winching line.
  • 8T Snatch Block
    • These snatch blocks reduce the load placed on the winch while performing a vehicle recovery and to avoid damage when changing the direction of the cable. The T-Max snatch block has two outer steel casings which swivel apart and allow the winch cable to be placed over the pulley wheel.
  • 4.75T Bow Shackle
  • 4.75T D Shackle
  • Pair of Leather Gloves
    • These T-Max leather recovery gloves have been made using a premium grain leather. Feature stitch free palms, winged thumb area and elastic cuffs.

Ironman 4×4 Snatch Strap 8000 Kilograms

The Ironman 4×4 8,000 Kilogram Snatch Strap has been NATA tested to comply with Australian Standards and field tested in real life recovery situations to comply with Ironmans standards.

Ironman Snatch Straps are manufactured from webbing that can stretch up to 20% when under load.

This is an essential piece of recovery equipment, used to help recover vehicles bogged in sand, mud or snow.

Features:

  • 9 metres x 75 millimetres
  • Reinforced heavy duty eyelets
  • Strong with up to 20% Kinetic stretch
  • 100% Polyester

Minimum Breaking Strength – 8,000 kgs.

It is recommended that the minimum breaking strength of the strap should be between two and three times the vehicle’s gross vehicle mass (GVM). Also, the strap must be suited to the GVM of the lighter of the two vehicles used in the recovery process.

Example: A Nissan Pathfinder weights 2,750 kg GVM. Multiply this by 2 = 5,500 kg or multiply it by 3 = 8,250 kg.

Guidelines For Safe Use Of Ironman 4×4 Recovery Snatch Straps

These Recovery Straps are a 100% Polyester strap that can stretch under load and spring back to almost its original length.

The combination of the recovery vehicle pull and the tension in the strap creates a ‘snatching’ effect that can pull a stranded vehicle free from being bogged or unable to move under its own power.

When used in accordance with these guidelines, vehicles may be recovered with minimal injury risk to people or damage to vehicle equipment.

General Care and Maintenance

  • Never allow your snatch strap to rub against sharp or hot surfaces.
  • Avoid twists & kinks, after washing, and when dry – always coil your strap for storage.
  • Clean your strap with warm water and a mild detergent, allowing thorough drying before storage. Foreign material such as sand and grit can permanently damage the strap fibres.
  • Check full length of straps for nicks and cuts before and after use. If damaged, replace it.
  • Never use the recovery strap as a lifting sling.
  • Inspect shackles for damage, if pins are hard to turn, shackle has been overstressed. Replace it.
