¹Break strength is the applied load at which the Y Strop fails
²Maximum GVW is the maximum recommended gross vehicle weight of a severely bogged vehicle for a specified Y Strop
³Severely bogged vehicle is judged as a vehicle resting on its axles or chassis. The vehicle is being dragged with no rolling of the wheels.
Resistance force is 75% of vehicle weight. Applicable for skid mounted equipment.
Weights of strops are approximate and the eye configurations are subject to change without notice.
