The Factor 55 Extreme Duty Kinetic Energy Rope is a game-changer in off-road recovery. This kinetic energy rope sets a new standard for safety and performance in vehicle recovery.
Factor 55 double-braided nylon recovery rope can stretch up to 30 percent of its total length. It also features a flexible, durable, weather-resistant polymeric coating for extreme durability, and rubberized rope eyes for maximum durability at the wear points of the rope.
Purchase your Factor 55 KERR based on your vehicle’s gross vehicular weight rating (GVWR). A properly sized rope for typical SUVs and trucks is one that has a 4:1 to 6:1 minimum breaking strength to GVWR ratio. For larger vehicles (Unimogs, EarthRoamers, Earth Cruisers, heavier military trucks, etc.), a 2:1 to 4:1 ratio may be acceptable. If you use a smaller and lighter KERR, rope breakage might occur. If too large and heavy, the rope won’t stretch enough, reducing the maximum kinetic energy assist. The KERR must be suited to the GVWR of the lighter of the two vehicles used in the recovery process
