Recovery Systems

Following pictures show handling and operation of our Multi-System recovery kit. Ideally we show you the system on a graded green.

Produktabbildung: Name

To the left the Allround-System Multi-Strap which will be schown hereafter, to the right the ultra lightweight Premium-System with our Multi-Rope.

Produktabbildung: Name

The allround system has a simpler and not-so-lightweight chain hoist:

Produktabbildung: Name

The Premium system is highly optimized in terms of ultra-lightweight components.

Produktabbildung: Name

A pair of gloves, two shackles and a rugged storage bag are supplied as well and included in the weight balance.

Produktabbildung: Name

As an anchor point we use our Hog-Trailer Gen 2:

Produktabbildung: Name

Unlock and fix recovery supports...

Produktabbildung: Name

extend...

Produktabbildung: Name
Produktabbildung: Name
Produktabbildung: Name

...and firmly anchor into the ground. Each suport can provide 0.5 tons.

Produktabbildung: Name

Same on the other side...

Produktabbildung: Name
Produktabbildung: Name
Produktabbildung: Name

...done. Manual brake and wheel chocks are also in use.

Produktabbildung: Name

Now for the vehicle to be recovered:

Produktabbildung: Name

Connect the supplied shackle to a rugged anchor point at the vehicle and to the Multi Strap:

Produktabbildung: Name

Always free the bolt a quarter turn to have it movable even after heavy load.

Produktabbildung: Name

Important: curved part of the shackle is for the recovery point,

Produktabbildung: Name

the straight bolt for the strap!

Produktabbildung: Name

Since we are only demonstrating, the length we show is much shorter than what the strap can handle:

The strap provdes a series of ring to attach youor vehicle, the anchor point or the chain hoist to:

Produktabbildung: Name

Prepare the required length and put the rest aside:

Produktabbildung: Name
Produktabbildung: Name

Connect the chain hoist, here at the recovery points of our Hog-2:

Produktabbildung: Name
Produktabbildung: Name

Done!

Produktabbildung: Name
Produktabbildung: Name

If not prepraed before set the chain hooist to FREEWHEEL. In case the integrated brake still locks the hoist, free the brake by turning the knob or moving the lever after setting to LOWERING (SENKEN):

Produktabbildung: Name

Now the chain can be extracted manually:

Produktabbildung: Name
Produktabbildung: Name

Exctract the complete length of the chain and connect to the next-in-reach ring of the Multi-Strap:

Produktabbildung: Name
Produktabbildung: Name

Attention! The hook must not squeeze any part of the strap. Slide the unused portion away sideways.

Produktabbildung: Name
Produktabbildung: Name

Now the chain can be manually pulled tight in FREEWHEEL.

Produktabbildung: Name

The loose end has a grip therefore:

Produktabbildung: Name
Produktabbildung: Name

Now set the chain hoist to LIFT (HEBEN) so lock and seucre chain and vehicle:

Produktabbildung: Name

Now the remaining slack can be pulled using the manual knob:

Produktabbildung: Name

System under tension!

Produktabbildung: Name
Produktabbildung: Name

To prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards the car has to be secured. In this example we used two wooden logs.

Produktabbildung: Name

Now, put the system under load...

Produktabbildung: Name

load applied,

Produktabbildung: Name

...and have the chain run out of the hoist downwards. This will kepp the chain out of your way. Both hooks can be turned to adjust the system as required.

Produktabbildung: Name

Incerdible but, the vehicle is moving!

Produktabbildung: Name

40cm have been made already.

Produktabbildung: Name
Produktabbildung: Name

Sure, this is manual work.

Produktabbildung: Name

The first length of pull is finished!

Produktabbildung: Name

Finally the chain hoist hast moved the maximum length of pull - 2.5meters are possible. The hook has been pulled towards the hoist to the max.

Produktabbildung: Name

Now secure the vehicle at its new position again any movement, again. Handbrake and putting in a low gear will help as well.

Produktabbildung: Name

Both sides are more safe...

Produktabbildung: Name

The chain hoist remains on LIFT (HEBEN) to still secure the vehicle.

Produktabbildung: Name
Produktabbildung: Name

Now swith to LOWER (SENKEN):

Produktabbildung: Name

Now you can start to release tension slowly and to open the brake inside the chain hoist.

Produktabbildung: Name

As soon as tension lowers you may use the knob as well:

Produktabbildung: Name
Produktabbildung: Name

The Multi Strap hast released its tension now. Double-check vehicle postion again!

Produktabbildung: Name

When completely relieved and the vehicle being secured youo can disconnect the hook from the Multi-Strap.

Produktabbildung: Name

Now place the chain hoist to FREEWHEEL.

Produktabbildung: Name
Produktabbildung: Name

...and pull out the chain again:

Produktabbildung: Name
Produktabbildung: Name

Attach the hook to the next-in-line steel ring of the Multi-Strap,

Produktabbildung: Name

remove any slack in the line...

Produktabbildung: Name

...and start the next recovery cycle:

Produktabbildung: Name
Produktabbildung: Name

After successful recovery the Multi Strap can easily be put together for stowage using the loops and rings:

Produktabbildung: Name

The long end will be collected in big loops,

Produktabbildung: Name

winded around the upper third of the bundle and...

Produktabbildung: Name

being towed through all of the loops and rings:

Produktabbildung: Name

Finished, nice job!

Produktabbildung: Name

And since our Hog-Trailer Gen 2 can do so, we now will do a lazy day:

Uncouple the Winch, exctract the Dyneema rope,

Produktabbildung: Name

attach to the winch bumper,

Produktabbildung: Name

and with the radio remote control in yoour hand watch easily the vehicle being pulled...

Produktabbildung: Name

But, to be honest, under normal conditions it's impossible to have the trailer find the forward path on its own.
