The Sprinter Van Recovery Kit is the kinetic recovery kit sized for loaded vans and overland rigs in the 7,000 to 10,200 lb range: Sprinter, Transit, ProMaster, 4x4 conversions and slide-in campers. It is built around the problem every van owner finds out the hard way, which is that a van has no real recovery points and a lot of weight sitting high.
What's in the bag
- 1 inch Kinetic-X kinetic recovery rope, 20 or 30 ft, 33,000 lb minimum break strength, stretches over 30 percent so a loaded van comes out on a soft, building pull
- Three 1/2 inch Hitch Hero soft shackles (58,000 lb MBS, 14,500 lb WLL): rig straight through the receiver or around a frame rail, with the guarded sleeve taking the metal edge
- Two 1/2 inch soft shackles (58,000 lb MBS, 14,500 lb WLL) for tow hooks and the rope's eyes
- 10 ft, 3/4 inch static bridle (58,000 lb MBS, 14,500 lb WLL) to spread a front pull across two points and keep it low, where a top-heavy van wants it
- Large carrying bag, rope instruction brochure, the laminated Sprinter kit guide card showing each setup, the Off-Road Recovery Cards deck, and stickers
Rope construction: nylon 6.6 double-braided core and jacket with a tight sheath that stretches with the core, reflective strands for night recoveries, double-dipped eyes. Every rope carries its production date on the tag.
Every Kinetic-X rope and shackle is pull-tested to failure by an independent lab in California before we publish a rating. Lifetime warranty under proper use, within the published service life, which starts the day it's shipped. Size the rope to the rig doing the pulling, by its loaded weight. Ships UPS from Upland, California.
