MAXTRAX Static Rope 3m Low-Stretch Recovery Line
MAXTRAX Static Rope 3m Low-Stretch Recovery Line
The MAXTRAX Static Rope is the low-stretch line in your recovery kit. This 3 m (about 10 ft) version is built from Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene and polyester, with a 63,713 lb (28,900 kg) Minimum Breaking Strength. It barely moves under load, which is exactly what you want when the job is anchoring or spreading force, not stretching and snapping back.
Run it three ways: as a load-spreading bridle across two recovery points, as a tree trunk protector that wraps an anchor without chewing the bark, or as a short extension strap to add reach to a recovery line. Eye/loop ends connect to your recovery points and to other ropes through shackles, so you can chain ropes together to make up whatever length the situation calls for.
This is a static rope, not a kinetic one. There is no elastic snap-back, so it is the wrong tool for a snatch recovery and the right tool for everything that needs a fixed, predictable anchor. The system is designed and tested with MAXTRAX shackles. At 3 m it is the compact line for close work, where 5 m would just be slack to coil up. Weighs about 1.34 kg (2.8 lb).

Overview
The MAXTRAX Static Rope 3m is a 3 m (~10 ft) low-stretch recovery line rated to a 63,713 lb Minimum Breaking Strength. It handles the anchoring jobs in a recovery — bridle, tree trunk protector, and line extension — where a kinetic rope is the wrong choice.

Use cases
Use it as a load-spreading bridle to split force across two recovery points, as a tree trunk protector that wraps an anchor without damaging it, or as a short extension to lengthen an existing recovery line. The 3 m length suits close anchoring and bridle work; step up to the 5 m when you regularly need more reach.

Is this a stretchy recovery rope or a static one?
Static. It barely stretches under load, so it stores no energy and has no snap-back. That makes it right for anchoring, bridles, and extension, and wrong for a kinetic snatch pull. Use a kinetic rope when you need the energy-storing stretch.
What can I use the 3 m for?
Three jobs: a load-spreading bridle across two recovery points, a tree trunk protector that wraps an anchor without damaging the bark, or a short extension strap to add reach to a recovery line.
Should I get the 3 m or the 5 m?
Both have the same 63,713 lb Minimum Breaking Strength, so the choice is about reach, not strength. Pick the 3 m for close anchoring and bridle work; go 5 m if you routinely need more length. You can also chain ropes together with shackles to make up distance.
How do I take care of it?
Rinse off mud and grit after a recovery and let it air-dry before it goes back in the bag. Inspect both ends and the body for cuts, fraying, or glazing before every use, and retire it if you find damage.
