Benefits of kinetic towing cables

The benefits of kinetic towing cables becomes very clear when we know what is happening when freeing a vehicle which is get stuck in mud, snow or sand.

To be able to free a vehicle which is stuck, we need a tow cable or tow rope with which we can exert force, in order to release the vehicle again. Depending upon how far the vehicle got stuck, these forces can really add up. Suppose that the vehicle unexpectly got stuck in the mud up to the axes, there is for loosening a force necessary of about three times the total weight of the vehicle. For secure liberation, we must therefore count with five times the total weight of the vehicle that needs to be liberated.

As the liberation by quietly pulling does not want to succeed, there is nothing left than a powerful jerk by means of a run. Because of this, of course, there is the risk of (unnecessary) damage. If the freeing of the vehicle with a towing cable (these are generally often lifting ribbons that have little to no stretch) is carried out, the resulting forces will get on the towing vehicle and the towing cable. These forces are not only very hard for the vehicles, but are also perceived as very unpleasant by the drivers.

A rigid tow ribbon is not designed to absorb these forces in such extreme peak loads and the risk of breakage of the ribbon is plausible. The chance of breaking of the towing cable cannot be excluded and may even happen that the chassis gets warped.

A kinetic tow rope is for the releasing and freeing of a vehicle with a run-up the ideal tool. The kinetic tow rope with ‘stretch’ can cope with the peak load and the catapult operation forces on the rope be exacerbated, which will make it more easier that the vehicle gets free more quickly from his predicament position.

The kinetic towing cables Bubba Rope® belong in the way in which they are developed – based on the expertise of US defense – to the best kinetic tow ropes in the world. The kinetic towing cables Bubba Rope® are water- and dirt-resistant and UV light does not affect the material. In addition, they do not lose the breaking strength such as this in many other kinetic towing cables turns out to be the case
