MAXTRAX KINETIC ROPE - 10M MTXKR10

MAXTRAX Kinetic Rope 10M MTXKR10 – Controlled Power for Vehicle Recovery

When a vehicle loses traction in sand, mud or challenging off-road terrain, the right recovery equipment can make a significant difference. The MAXTRAX Kinetic Rope 10M MTXKR10 is designed to provide the kinetic element of a vehicle recovery system, using controlled stretch to help transfer recovery energy more smoothly.

With up to 30% elongation, the MAXTRAX Kinetic Rope is designed to provide increased kinetic recovery power compared with conventional flat snatch straps, while its 10-metre length provides useful versatility for a range of recovery situations.

Designed for Kinetic Recovery

Unlike a static recovery rope, a kinetic rope is designed to stretch under load.

This controlled elongation allows energy to build within the rope before being released, helping provide a smoother transfer of recovery force between the recovery vehicle and the vehicle requiring assistance.

The MAXTRAX Kinetic Rope can elongate by up to 30%, making it the kinetic component of the MAXTRAX Recovery System.

10 Metres of Recovery Flexibility

The 10M length provides additional working distance between vehicles compared with shorter recovery ropes.

This can be particularly useful when vehicles need to be positioned with greater separation, depending on the terrain and recovery situation.

At 24mm diameter, the MTXKR10 provides a substantial recovery rope while remaining practical to carry as part of a comprehensive 4x4 recovery kit.

12,000kg Minimum Breaking Strength

The MAXTRAX Kinetic Rope has a Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) of 12,000kg / 26,455lb.

This rating is an important specification when selecting recovery equipment and should always be considered alongside the vehicle's weight, rated recovery points and the requirements of the complete recovery system.

Recovery equipment should always be used according to the manufacturer's instructions and connected only to suitable rated recovery points.

Nylon 66 and Polyester Construction

The MTXKR10 is manufactured from a combination of Nylon 66 and polyester.

This construction allows the rope to provide the controlled stretch required for kinetic recovery while maintaining the strength and durability expected from dedicated off-road recovery equipment.

Designed as Part of the MAXTRAX Recovery System

The MAXTRAX Kinetic Rope has been designed and tested as part of the MAXTRAX Recovery System.

MAXTRAX specifies that its Recovery System is comprised solely of MAXTRAX products and has not been tested with third-party branded recovery components.

Importantly, MAXTRAX specifies that the MAXTRAX Fuse Shackle must be used during vehicle recovery within the MAXTRAX Recovery System. The Fuse Shackle is designed to be the weakest link should the system become overloaded.

Only suitable rated recovery points should be used when connecting recovery equipment to a vehicle.

Kinetic Rope vs Static Rope

The MAXTRAX recovery range includes both kinetic and static ropes, with each designed to perform a different role.

The Kinetic Rope is designed to stretch and transfer recovery energy, making it the active kinetic component of the recovery system.

The Static Rope, by comparison, is designed for applications such as load-sharing bridles, tree trunk protection and extensions.

Understanding the difference between these components helps ensure that the appropriate recovery equipment is selected for the intended application.

4.3kg of Recovery Capability

Despite its 10-metre length and high breaking strength, the MTXKR10 weighs approximately 4.3kg.

This makes it practical to carry as part of a larger recovery kit without excessive additional weight.

For touring and overlanding vehicles, keeping recovery equipment organised and readily accessible is an important part of preparing for remote travel.

Ideal for 4x4 Touring and Overlanding

The MAXTRAX Kinetic Rope is suited to a range of off-road applications, including:

4x4 touring
Overlanding
Sand driving
Mud driving
Remote-area travel
Off-road adventures
Vehicle recovery

Combined with appropriate rated recovery points and compatible MAXTRAX recovery equipment, the MTXKR10 forms an important part of a properly equipped recovery system.

Inspect Your Recovery Equipment

Recovery equipment can experience significant loads and should be inspected regularly.

Before use, check the kinetic rope for cuts, fraying, abrasion, burns, melting or other visible damage. Equipment showing signs of damage should not be used.

After use, recovery equipment should be cleaned and allowed to dry properly before being stored.

Built for the MAXTRAX Recovery System

The MAXTRAX Kinetic Rope 10M MTXKR10 provides a high-strength, controlled-stretch component for vehicle recovery.

With up to 30% elongation, a 12,000kg minimum breaking strength and a 10-metre length, it provides the reach and kinetic capability required for demanding off-road recovery applications.
