Holdfast Tow / Winch Straps
Heavy-duty 50mm webbing straps engineered for vehicle recovery, light industrial pulling and marine work. The 50mm width hits the sweet spot between strength and flexibility — wide enough for serious loads, narrow enough to feed through standard recovery points and winch hooks.
Specifications
- Strap width: 50mm
- Lengths available: 3m or 6m
- Strap types: TOW or WINCH (specify on order)
- Construction: High-tenacity polyester webbing
- Treatment: UV-resistant and weatherproofed for outdoor and marine use
Tow vs. Winch — which do you need?
Tow straps stretch slightly under load to absorb shock when recovering a stuck vehicle — never use a non-stretch winch strap to snatch-recover, as it can break recovery points. Winch straps are flat and inelastic, designed to wind smoothly onto a winch drum without bunching.
Use cases
- 4×4 recovery: Snatch recovery from sand, mud or river crossings (tow strap)
- Trailer winching: Pulling boats and quads onto trailers (winch strap)
- Light industrial: Workshop pulling, equipment repositioning, load securing
- Marine: Boat winching, mooring jobs, dock work
