BTS Mongoose Vehicle Recovery Tow Strops

BTS Mongoose Heavy Duty Tow Strop is a 12 strand UHMwPE tow rope designed for industrial and light vehicle and 4x4 vehicle recovery.

The Mongoose vehicle recovery strops come fitted with a heavily protected soft eye splice in each end and feature a tight heavy duty HT Nylon cover to minimise ingress of dirt and assist cleaning.

 Features

  • Ultra high strength to weight ratio
  • Lightweight and flexible to reduce the risk of back injuries and assists on site handling
  • Low elongation
  • Minimal re-coil and kinetic energy at break
  • Traceability (durable 1/D tags)
  • Reduced hand injuries i.e. no fish-hooking like wire rope
  • Heavy duty tight HT Nylon cover to minimise ingress of grit and assist cleaning
  •  Highly resistant to wear and flex fatigue
  • Strops to 500 Tonne
  • Certified to tonnage rating
  • Available on request complete with marine grade round thimble
  • Colour coding by application available on request
