Appropriate Tow Ropes are the most basic and essential recovery tool for any vehicle from all wheel drive to passenger cars.
This Tow Rope is designed specifically for for dynamic (vehicle to vehicle) recoveries. The stretchability of the rope is designed to aid in a vehicle to vehicle dynamic pull.
Viking Kinetic Recovery Tow Ropes are made from 100% Premium DuPont™ Nylon Double Braid. Their ropes are dyed black to minimize discoloration when dirty and to maintain better visibility when used in snow and sand. Eyes are protected with heavy duty nylon guards with strength identified clearly on the nylon shell.
All of Viking’s Tow Ropes are 100% US made: both fiber and assembly.
When choosing a Tow Rope size, plan the breaking strength to be approximately 3 times the weight of your vehicle. For larger vehicles this number is closer to the weight of the vehicle.
WARNING: It is essential that kinetic tow ropes be affixed to actual vehicle recovery points that are designed to withstand the force of one vehicle pulling or towing another.
Never connect ropes / straps end to end with other kinetic ropes / straps with shackles or metal connectors. Do not use Tow Ropes or Tow Straps with winches.
TOW ROPES VERSUS TOW STRAPS
There is an advantage to a Viking Kinetic Recovery Tow Rope over a Tow Strap. The Viking Tow Ropes stretch 30% which makes them more effective than straps. The high degree of stretch provides a dynamic pull (the opposite is true for winch lines which require a static pull). The more stretch, the more kinetic energy is built up to help move the vehicle, and the less impact on the vehicle itself. Tow straps offer a cheaper price point and also get the job the done. It’s a matter of taste, style and budget.
THE VIKING OFFROAD STORY
The history of Viking Offroad begins with Jon and Thor Jonsson, two Icelandic brothers from a family of leaders in the Icelandic fishing gear industry.
In 1994 Jón acquired Gourock, a 272 year old company which made ropes, sails and fishing gear. After 12 years as an architect with an engineering background, Thór founded Viking Offroad to address the need for high quality recovery gear and great service to the off-road enthusiast. The companies quickly merged to utilize the latest technologies from the rope industry and Thor’s engineering background to develop what would quickly become the most trusted synthetic winch line.
Now with a full range of vehicle recovery products, Viking Offroad is known in the industry for their quality materials and craftsmenship.Viking recovery gear is used in Recreational four wheeling, racing, ATV's, and the towing industry. Their products are also used by the top trainers in the world including several military groups such as Navy Seals, Army Rangers and the Marines. Additional government agencies utilize their winch lines including Fire and Police Departments and the US Forest Service.
