Key Information and safety recommendations

    It is recommended that persons intending to recover vehicles by using a soft shackle (and/or strap/rope) should consider completing a nationally recognised 4WD training course for comprehensive advice on the proper selection and use of the shackle
    Do not use the shackle for lifting or towing
    Ensure that the shackle is not damaged and is in a useable condition prior to recovery techniques being employed.
    Note: the shackles strength and stretch are reduced when saturated with water.
    If also using a strap/rope, an object such as a recovery damper, heavy bag or blanket must be draped over the strap/rope to reduce any unintentional rebound of the strap/rope.
    Before attempting the vehicle recovery, passengers of the vehicles must:
        exit the vehicles; and
        stand as far away from the vehicles as the length of the strap/rope being used and;
        do not stand in the path of the vehicle performing the recovery.
    The gross vehicle mass (GVM) of the vehicles being used should be known. The minimum breaking strength of the shackle should be between 2 and 3 times the GVM of any vehicle it is used with.
    The shackle must be suited to the GVM of the lighter of the 2 vehicles used in the recovery process.
