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.
Key features
- 63,713 lb (28,900 kg) Minimum Breaking Strength
- 3 m (~10 ft) length — the compact option for close anchoring
- Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene and polyester construction
- Static, low-stretch: no kinetic snap-back
- Eye/loop ends; connects to recovery points and other ropes via shackles
- Chain multiple ropes with shackles to make up length
- ~1.34 kg (2.8 lb)
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.
