MAXTRAX Static Rope 3M MTXSR3 – A Strong Foundation for Vehicle Recovery

A well-equipped recovery kit needs more than just a recovery track or rope. The MAXTRAX Static Rope 3M MTXSR3 is designed to form the static element of a vehicle recovery system, providing a versatile connection point for a range of recovery applications.

Unlike a kinetic recovery rope, which is designed to stretch and absorb energy, the MAXTRAX Static Rope is intended to remain relatively static under load. This makes it particularly useful for applications where controlled load sharing and secure connections are required.

Designed as the Static Element of a Recovery System

The MAXTRAX Static Rope has been specifically designed to perform the static component of a vehicle recovery.

It can be used in several configurations, including as:

A load-sharing bridle
A tree trunk protector
An extension strap

This versatility makes the 3M Static Rope a useful addition to a comprehensive 4x4 recovery kit.

Multiple Recovery Applications

One of the key advantages of the MTXSR3 is its ability to perform several different functions.

Load-Sharing Bridle

The Static Rope can be configured as a bridle to help distribute the load between suitable recovery points.

This can be particularly useful when setting up a controlled recovery system where the load needs to be shared between two rated recovery points.

Tree Trunk Protector

When recovering from a suitable natural anchor point, the Static Rope can be used as a tree trunk protector.

Its purpose in this application is to provide a suitable connection around the tree while helping reduce damage to the tree compared with attaching recovery hardware directly around the trunk.

Extension Strap

The 3M length also allows the Static Rope to be used as an extension where additional reach is required within a compatible recovery setup.

This provides additional flexibility when the recovery point or anchor is further away than the available recovery equipment can comfortably reach.

Premium Rope Construction

The MAXTRAX Static Rope is constructed using a combination of Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) and polyester.

This composite construction provides a high-strength static recovery component while maintaining the flexibility required for practical handling and setup.

The MTXSR3 has a Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) of approximately 28,900kg, according to MAXTRAX product information.

Designed as Part of the MAXTRAX Recovery System

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

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

For this reason, recovery equipment should always be selected and used according to the manufacturer's specifications, with appropriate attention given to rated recovery points and the overall recovery setup.

3 Metres of Versatility

At 3 metres long, the MTXSR3 provides useful reach without the additional bulk of a longer recovery rope.

Its relatively compact size makes it easy to store with other recovery equipment, while its multiple potential applications make it a valuable component to have available when preparing a vehicle for off-road travel.

Ideal for 4x4 Touring and Overlanding

The MAXTRAX Static Rope is well suited to a variety of touring and off-road applications, including:

4x4 touring
Overlanding
Remote-area travel
Off-road adventures
Sand driving
Mud driving
Recovery system preparation

For drivers who regularly travel away from sealed roads, having a dedicated static recovery component available can add versatility to an overall recovery kit.

Pair It with the Right Recovery Equipment

The Static Rope is intended to form part of a complete recovery system rather than replace a kinetic recovery rope.

For example, a recovery setup may incorporate a static component alongside suitable rated recovery points and other compatible MAXTRAX recovery equipment.

Using the correct component for each application is important when dealing with vehicle recovery loads.

Built for the Trail

The MAXTRAX Static Rope 3M MTXSR3 provides a versatile, high-strength static element for vehicle recovery.

With its UHMWPE and polyester construction, 3-metre length and multiple applications as a bridle, tree trunk protector or extension strap, it is a practical addition to a properly equipped 4x4 recovery kit.
