Recovery Tips & Tools

Posted by Staff on

 

There are several methods of vehicle recovery when driving off-road in challenging conditions such as mud, dirt, sand, and snow:

TOWING OR WINCHING

This involves using a tow rope or winch cable attached to another vehicle or a fixed anchor point to pull the stuck vehicle out.

DIGGING

This involves using a shovel or other digging tools to clear the path and create a firmer surface for the tires to grip onto.

DEFLATING TIRES

Lowering tire pressure can increase the surface area of the tires, giving them a better grip on soft surfaces like sand or mud.

USING TRACTION AIDS

Sand tracks, traction mats, or even wooden planks can be used to create a more solid surface for the tires to grip onto.

ROCKING THE VEHICLE

Gently shifting the weight of the vehicle back and forth can sometimes help to dislodge it from a stuck position.

SNATCH STRAP

A snatch strap is a type of flexible rope that is designed to help recover vehicles that are stuck. It works by using the elasticity of the rope to generate a pulling force.

Note: Always carry the necessary equipment and follow the manufacturer's guidelines to avoid damage to the vehicle and ensure personal safety.
