Tow chain

[roscoe erf]

we have no chains here anymore, dangerous things

straps only

It’s not the chain that’s dangerous it’s the prat’s using them

maybe - but I don't want to be in any way responsible for anyone getting hurt if that can be avoided, prat or not

For towing get yourself a snatch rope where I go and help out they’ve got quite a few now on the tractors brilliant bit of kit.
you can get them from Spalding

Snatch/kenetic ropes can be very effective, but you need to be sure that what they are attached to isn't going to break.

Fortunately I haven't seen any injuries from them first hands, but have witnessed a few near misses where chunks of one vehicle have been ripped off and catapulted into the other.

Like a medieval catapult?

Who's going to be the first to google "Snatch rope" then?

 

[DRC]

You're doing it wrong then , pulled hundreds of machines out with a chain

No kinetic energy

Chap killed locally a few years ago. Went to help a neighbour stuck drilling. Chain went through back window and hit him in the head. Got a proper strap here now .

Like a medieval catapult?

Not entirely in that it didn't release the projectile and throw it up in an arc, but very much so in that the projectile still smashed into and damaged what it hit.

The first time I saw Heavy Duty Tow straps being used was on “Ice Road Truckers”!!!

I knew I had this bit somewhere found it today, in the back of the shed
From about 14 years go towing a fastrac out chain broke and went through the bottom part of the windscreen on the right hand side , we were very lucky as someone was sat in the passenger seat if it had gone through that one .

A friend has just contacted me for advice on this very subject.

The chain is only 2 weeks old .

Never use metal shackles as advertised above on a kinetic rope for recovery. Soft shackles only!

 

[Green&Steam]

Thanks for that. learn something new every day.
Tb totally honest I n ever knew of such a things as soft shackles, but they look a good idea and could also be used with strops for lifting bits and bobs around to save spoiling paintwork/ causing damage

Along with ropes and straps they would be softer and lighter to carry around ... for emergency use ...

 

[Pilatus]

I see “Southern Ropes Uk” do soft shackles up to 500tonne breaking strain!!!
