MAXTRAX Kinetic Rope - 3m
MAXTRAX Kinetic Rope - 3m
The MAXTRAX Kinetic Rope 3m is a 24mm dynamic recovery rope with a 12,000kg (26,455 lb) minimum breaking strength. It's built from Nylon 66 and polyester so it stretches up to 30% under load. That stretch stores energy and releases it as a smooth pull instead of the hard jolt you get off a flat snatch strap, which is easier on both vehicles and their recovery points.
The 3m length is the short option in the kinetic line. It shines when the recovery rig can pull up close to the stuck vehicle, where a longer rope would just leave slack on the ground. Need more reach? Join two ropes with a core shackle to build the length your scenario calls for. A spliced eye at each end clips straight to rated recovery points with a rated shackle.
Pick rope strength to suit the lighter vehicle in the recovery: MAXTRAX recommends an MBS of 2 to 3 times that vehicle's gross mass. At 12,000kg, this rope covers most trucks, SUVs, and 4x4 rigs. Product weight is about 1.8 kg, so it packs down small in a recovery kit bag.

Overview
The MAXTRAX Kinetic Rope 3m is a 24mm dynamic snatch rope rated to 12,000kg MBS. It stretches up to 30% to deliver a smooth, energy-loaded recovery pull.
Key features
- 24mm diameter, 3m length kinetic recovery rope
- 12,000kg (26,455 lb) minimum breaking strength
- Up to 30% elongation for a smoother snatch than a flat strap
- Nylon 66 and polyester construction
- Spliced eye each end for rated shackle connection
- Joins to other MAXTRAX ropes with a core shackle to extend length
Use cases
Built for dynamic recoveries of bogged trucks and 4x4s in sand, mud, or snow. The 3m length is the one to reach for when the recovery vehicle can pull up close. For longer pulls, link two ropes with a core shackle to make the length the situation needs.

- Ends: spliced eye each end
- Vehicle guidance: MBS 2-3x the GVM of the lighter vehicle
How big a vehicle can this rope recover?
The minimum breaking strength is 12,000kg (26,455 lb). MAXTRAX recommends matching MBS to 2 to 3 times the gross vehicle mass of the lighter vehicle in the recovery. At 12,000kg, this rope handles most trucks, SUVs, and 4x4s.
How is a kinetic rope different from a flat snatch strap?
The rope stretches up to 30% under load. That stretch stores energy and releases it as a smoother pull, so the bogged vehicle comes free with less shock loading on recovery points than a flat strap delivers.
Why pick the 3m over the 5m or 10m?
3m is the short length for close-quarters recoveries, where the rig can pull up tight to the stuck vehicle. A longer rope in that spot just leaves slack on the ground. To extend reach, join two ropes with a core shackle.
What does the rope attach to?
It has a spliced eye at each end. Connect it to rated recovery points using a rated shackle. Never rig to a tow ball or any non-rated point.
Does it lose strength when wet?
Strength drops when the rope is saturated. Rinse it with fresh water, air-dry it, and store it in a recovery kit bag. Inspect before every use and retire the rope if it's frayed or burned.
How do I care for it?
Rinse with fresh water after use, let it air-dry fully, and store it out of direct sun in a kit bag. Check the splices and the full length for damage before each recovery.
