SNATCH STRAP PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Inspired by the spirit of Outback exploration, OPENROAD’s 22 mm × 9 m snatch strap is your go-anywhere rescue partner. Constructed from 100% double-braided nylon, it delivers a breaking strength of 16,300 kg (36,000 lb) and stretches 20–35% under load to smoothly transfer kinetic energy and pull you free from mud, sand or snow. Tested at 24 km/h on a 2.3 t vehicle (we recommend keeping pull speed below 24 km/h for safe recoveries), it performs reliably on clay ascents, bog holes and steep tracks.
Encapsulated in a wear-resistant polyurethane coating, this snatch strap kit resists UV, moisture and abrasion in the harshest conditions. At just 25 % of the weight of comparable cords, it packs down neatly into its breathable mesh carry bag. Simply attach to your vehicle’s rated recovery points, pull taught and let the rope’s elastic rebound do the work. Each kit includes the 9 m snatch strap, mesh carry bag, Velcro wrap strap and user guide—everything you need for confident off-road rescues.

What is the load rating of the snatch strap?
A snatch strap is a type of recovery strap made from heavy-duty nylon webbing that can stretch under load. Unlike a standard tow strap or tree trunk protector, a snatch strap is designed to store kinetic energy when one vehicle drives forward. This stored energy is then released to help “snatch” a bogged vehicle out of sand, mud, or snow. The stretch reduces shock on both vehicles and provides a smoother, safer recovery.
1.Check ratings – Make sure the snatch strap’s load rating is suitable for your vehicle (usually 2–3 times the vehicle’s GVM).
2.Attach to rated recovery points – Connect the strap to the rated recovery points on both vehicles using bow shackles or soft shackles. Never attach to a tow ball.
3.Lay out the strap – Place the strap between the vehicles, leaving some slack (about 2–3 metres).
4.Coordinate drivers – The recovery vehicle gently accelerates, building momentum to stretch the strap.
5.Snatch effect – The strap stretches and releases energy, helping pull the stuck vehicle free.
6.Use safety gear – Place a recovery dampener on the strap and ensure all bystanders stand clear.
When choosing a snatch strap, the most important factor is its breaking strength (MBS), which should be around 2–3 times your vehicle’s Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM). The OPENROAD snatch strap has a working load of 5,443 kg and a breaking strength of 16,300 kg (36,000 lb), making it suitable for most 4WDs, dual-cab utes, and touring rigs in Australia.
This high safety margin means it can recover vehicles in demanding off-road conditions while providing controlled stretch for a smooth, safe recovery. Always ensure you are using rated recovery points and never exceed the strap’s recommended capacity.
1.Check ratings – Ensure the strap’s breaking strength is suitable for your vehicle (around 2–3× GVM). The OPENROAD snatch strap is rated to 16,300 kg MBS, giving you a wide safety margin.
2.Use rated recovery points only – Attach the strap with bow shackles or soft shackles to rated recovery points. Never connect to a tow ball.
3.Lay out the strap – Position it between the vehicles with 2–3 m of slack.
4.Coordinate drivers – The recovery vehicle should accelerate smoothly to stretch the strap; avoid sudden jerks.
5.Keep bystanders clear – Make sure everyone stands well clear of the recovery area.
6.Use a dampener – Place a recovery blanket or dampener on the strap to reduce recoil risk if anything fails.
7.By following these steps, you ensure a safe and effective recovery while protecting both vehicles and passengers.
The OPENROAD snatch strap has a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 5,443 kg (12,000 lb) and a Breaking Strength of 16,300 kg (36,000 lb). This high strength rating makes it suitable for recovering most 4WDs, dual-cab utes, and touring vehicles in Australia. The large safety margin ensures reliable performance even in demanding off-road conditions.
