• MULTI-USE & QUICKER TO USE AS COMPARED TO CHAIN OR WIRE.

A kinetic rope is a great tool to assist in off road recoveries. Properly used, the C4RS Kinetic Rope gives 30% stretch to assist when you’re really stuck in sand or mud. The C4RS Kinetic Rope is also valuable as a buffer to static equipment from potential shock loads such as righting a rolled vehicle.
A proper kinetic rope will provide for a safer recovery with less wear & tear on your equipment than using equipment in a dynamic setting that is not designed to stretch. Seek instruction on advanced winching methods.
The C4RS Kinetic Ropes are 30-feet long and are 100% Made in the USA, spliced in-house here in Colorado at C4RS. C4RS Kinetic Ropes are both Berry & TAA compliant, spliced from New England Rope®’s nylon double strand line. The soft eyes are large for ease of use, reinforced with tubular webbing for abrasion, cut resistance and splices are finished with lock stitching by Samson®’s Lash It® for a secure splice set.
The center of each C4RS Kinetic Rope is protected with a length of C4RS tubular abrasion guard & designed to provide additional abrasion & cut resistance in high load & high wear areas. Each rope includes an identifier tag with product identification info, load limits, production date & serial number for lot traceability.
C4RS does not recommend exceeding this safety factor with use of a heavier vehicle.
All sizing is given with a 4:1 safety factor.

ALWAYS USE A LINE DAMPER.
When you first attempt to pull a stuck vehicle with the C4RS Kinetic Rope, first perform the standard stuck assessment. Use the C4RS Kinetic Rope as a static tow strap with the stuck vehicle assisting with slight wheel spin – throttle input. If this does not work, wait 1-minute for the line to recoil by backing up the assisting vehicle until the C4RS Kinetic Rope is touching the ground. Then attempt again to the the stuck vehicle using mild acceleration to stretch the C4RS Kinetic Rope. The stuck vehicle should should increase wheel spin speed at the same time, but not overly excessive.
If this does not work, allow time for the C4RS Kinetic Rope to recoil as it does not recoil immediately. Repeat the process with increased effort, but again not excessive and not too quickly. Gradually roll into it and then increase throttle. Too hard too quickly can lead to the failure of the C4RS Kinetic Rope.
