SAFETY ACCESSORIES

The recovery work with safety accessory. Here’s just a few, and why you need them. Glow protects your skin from broken strands that can dig deep, especially when the cable is moving through your hands. In cause the cable does fail, you’ll be safer if there’s a winch heavy duty cable blanket hung over it at the time. The blanket damps down the stored energy in the cable, reducing its tendency to flail dangerously after breaking. Its bright red colouring also makes the cable noticeable, so onlookers are unlikely to step too close.
The winch’s pulley hook is an essential item to carry. By leading the winch rope through the pulley and back to an anchor point on the vehicle, the recovery pull is doubled. The pulley hook can also be used to direct the pull through an angle by securing the hook to a tree, or other vehicle. Tree makes ideal anchors, but don’t kill them by rubbing the bark off, instead fit a protection belt around the trunk, and loop the two end together with your pulley hook.
