OZtrail Recovery Dampener

The OZtrail Recovery Dampener is an essential piece of 4WD recovery equipment, designed to help reduce the risk of injury during vehicle recovery operations.

When a snatch strap, kinetic rope or winch cable is placed under load, it stores significant energy and if a failure occurs, that energy can be released suddenly and dangerously. The recovery dampener is designed to absorb and control this stored energy, significantly reducing dangerous recoil and whip-back to help protect both people and vehicles in the event of a failure.

Constructed from heavy duty PVC, the dampener is built to withstand harsh offroad conditions including mud, sand and rocky tracks.

The secure hook and loop attachment system allows it to be quickly and easily positioned on recovery straps, ropes or winch cables without tools, making it ready to use in the field when it is needed most. 

For increased effectiveness, the dampener features an internal pocket that can be filled with sand or additional weight, helping to pull the line toward the ground in the event of a strap or cable failure. It also features reflective strips which improve visibility in low light or night time vehicle recovery operations, adding an extra layer of safety when conditions are less than ideal.

Compact, durable and easy to use, the OZtrail Recovery Dampener is a must-have safety accessory for any recovery kit. Always ensure it is correctly positioned on your recovery strap, kinetic rope or winch cable before every recovery, and inspect it before use to maintain reliable performance in the field.
