Heavy Duty Synthetic Recovery Sling
Choose options
When you are recovering a rig without a clean anchor point, this is the sling you reach for. It is built to wrap sharp-edged components — leaf springs, control arms, axle tubes, a wheel — and take the abrasion that would chew through unprotected gear.
Low-stretch synthetic webbing with heavy-duty guard sleeves and HD soft-shackle guards on both legs. Use it as a basket sling around a wheel or spring pack, or as a bridle across two points for a straight, balanced pull.
Minimum breaking strength by diameter and sling angle
System strength changes with the angle between the legs — a narrower angle is stronger. Choose the configuration that matches the rig doing the recovery.
| Diameter | 90° | 60° | 45° | 30° |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7/16" | 30,400 lbs | 37,200 lbs | 39,800 lbs | 41,600 lbs |
| 1/2" | 43,500 lbs | 53,200 lbs | 56,800 lbs | 59,400 lbs |
| 5/8" | 67,900 lbs | 83,200 lbs | 88,700 lbs | 92,700 lbs |
| 3/4" | 82,600 lbs | 101,300 lbs | 108,100 lbs | 113,000 lbs |
| 1" | 139,200 lbs | 171,400 lbs | 182,800 lbs | 191,000 lbs |
Size to the recovery vehicle
| Diameter | Designed for |
|---|---|
| 7/16" | SXS, SUVs and full-size trucks |
| 1/2" | Service trucks and heavier overland vehicles |
| 5/8" | Small equipment and utility trucks |
| 3/4" | Tractors and class 7 trucks |
| 1" | Heavy equipment and large tractors |
Match the sling to the rig doing the pulling, not the one that is stuck, and keep the angle between the legs as narrow as the recovery points allow for maximum strength.
Safety note: rig to rated recovery points only, lay a dampener over the line, and keep everyone clear of the load path during a pull. Made in USA.
