ARB Essentials Recovery Kit Sii (RK11A)
ARB Essentials Recovery Kit Sii (RK11A)
The updated ARB Essentials Recovery Kit sports a new heavy-duty PVC outer shell and modernized colors. The 600gsm PVC outer provides a rugged exterior that is perfect for recovery situations because it makes cleaning easier and helps keep the bag and its contents from getting damp. Included in the kit is the highly regarded and awarded ARB 17,600lbs vehicle snatch strap. The ARB snatch strap which has been a winner of many recovery strap tests throughout Australia and the world, has a genuine 20% stretch to reduce shock to components on your vehicle and will assist in recovery situations. The ARB Essentials Recovery Kit also includes an ARB 19,800lbs Ultra Light Snatch Block, two type ?S galvanized 4.75t rated shackles, one set of cow grain leather palm with cow split leather back gloves, a 10ft ARB Recovery Tree Protector, and the updated 600gsm PVC recovery bag with multiple compartments highlighted in the ARB topographic styling. When selecting a vehicle recovery strap (snatch strap) it is recommended that the minimum breaking strength of the strap should be between two and three times the gross vehicle mass (GVM) of any vehicle it is used with, and that the strap must be suited to the GVM of the lighter of the two vehicles used in the recovery process. The 17,600lbs recovery strap is therefore suitable for vehicles with a GVM between 5800 and 8800 lbs, encompassing a majority of 4WD vehicles. This is only to be used as a general guide.

How long is the snatch strap and what's it rated to?
The strap is 29.5 ft (9 m) long, 2.36 in (60 mm) wide, and rated to a 17,600 lb minimum breaking strength with a genuine 20% stretch.
What size vehicle is this kit good for?
ARB lists it for vehicles with a GVM between 5,800 and 8,800 lb. The working rule is that a strap's breaking strength should be two to three times the GVM of the lighter vehicle in the recovery. Treat it as a guide, not a hard limit.
Is this a kinetic strap or a static tow strap?
It's a kinetic snatch strap. The 20% stretch is what smooths the pull, so it should not be used as a static tow strap or paired with a chain or steel hook.
Are the shackles and snatch block included?
Yes. Two 4.75t Type S shackles and the 19,800 lb Ultra Light snatch block come in the kit, along with the strap, tree protector, gloves, and bag.
Can I use this for a winch recovery?
The snatch block doubles or redirects a winch line, and the shackles and tree protector are standard winch-rigging pieces. So the kit works for winch-assist recoveries, not just vehicle-to-vehicle snatches.
How do I take care of the strap and bag?
Rinse the strap and let it dry before repacking. The 600gsm PVC bag wipes clean, so a quick wipe-down after a muddy recovery keeps grit off the rest of the gear.
