Has anyone used these guys n their rear recovery point?
Disco-Ron:
If you want a simple solution................ fit a pair of jate rings................ job done......... when the club i;'m in run events, one thing we check is the robustness of recovery points............ the one in the link wouldn;t get my vote....... the forces exerted during recovery can be huge....... that isn't up to the job in my opinion..!!!
disco2 td5:
that does not look heavy enough to use for recovery
sMUDge:
I'm with Disco Ron, JATE rings, reasonably cheap & really effective :)
Some people attach a strop to both & hang it from the rear, for when needed.
This saves getting too muddy yourself, if the mud/water at the rear is deep and you can't reach the rings themselves to attach a rope :D
john656:
Ready for a really dumb question now but something ive never understood :oops: :oops:. Is that one strop between between both jate rings and pull both strop eyes to a point on the rear, or, attach the strop to one jate ring and just hooked through the other?
ChrisW70:
John - the idea is to fit a shortish strap, one end to one jate the other to the other jate ring then with another shackle at the middle of the short strap attach the strap that will be connected to the vehicle doing the recovering.
The theory is that the load on the strap will be shared between the two points its connected so you don't get a single point load on the recovery point.
