MaxTrax Static Rope - 5m
MaxTrax Static Rope - 5m
The MaxTrax Static Rope is a 5 m (about 16.4 ft) low-stretch recovery rope built around an 18 mm UHMWPE and polyester body with a 28,900 kg / 63,713 lb minimum breaking strength. "Static" is the whole point: it barely stretches, so it holds a fixed anchor and transfers load straight through instead of storing and releasing energy like a kinetic rope.
That makes it the rigging piece in your recovery kit, not the snatch piece. Run it as a winch line extension when the anchor sits past your cable's reach, wrap it low around a trunk as a tree trunk protector, or set it across two recovery points as a load-spreading bridle. The sealed end loops join to a winch rope or kinetic rope with soft shackles, so the whole rig stays metal-free at the connection points.
It is designed and tested as part of the MAXTRAX recovery system, where the Fuse Shackle is the intended weak link. Always connect to rated recovery points, and weighing in at 1.8 kg it coils down small enough to live in the recovery bag full-time.

Overview
A 5 m static recovery rope rated to 28,900 kg / 63,713 lb. Low stretch by design, so it holds a steady anchor and extends a winch line without the rebound of a kinetic rope.
Key features
- 18 mm braided UHMWPE and polyester construction
- 28,900 kg / 63,713 lb minimum breaking strength
- 5 m (about 16.4 ft) length
- Sealed end loops connect with soft shackles — no metal at the joins
- 1.8 kg, coils small for the recovery bag
Use cases
Use it as a winch line extension when the anchor is beyond cable reach, as a tree trunk protector wrapped low around a trunk, or as a load-spreading bridle across two rated recovery points. Join it to a winch rope or kinetic rope with soft shackles to build the total length a recovery needs.

Can I use this as a kinetic or snatch recovery rope?
No. A static rope has almost no stretch, so it will not absorb shock the way a kinetic rope does. Use it as a winch extension, tree trunk protector, or bridle, and pair a kinetic rope when you need a running snatch recovery.
How do I rig it as a tree trunk protector?
Wrap it around the trunk as low to the ground as practical, then join the two end loops to your winch rope with a soft shackle. The 18 mm UHMWPE body spreads the load and protects the bark.
What is the breaking strength, and can I extend the length?
It carries a 28,900 kg / 63,713 lb minimum breaking strength. You can join it to another static rope, a kinetic rope, or a winch rope with soft shackles to build the total length a recovery needs.
How do I care for it?
Rinse grit out and let it dry before storing. The UHMWPE fibers won't rust, but trapped dirt abrades them over time, so a quick clean after a muddy recovery keeps the rope at full strength.
