Off-roading is a great way to get out and explore the great outdoors. But it can also be dangerous, especially if you need more preparation. That's why having the right gear, including Soft Shackles, Tree Savers, and kinetic rope, is essential.
Soft Shackles are a type of rigging hardware that is made from high-strength nylon or polyester. They are designed for various applications, including off-roading, towing, and rigging. Soft Shackles are a great alternative to traditional shackles, as they are more lightweight, durable, and easy to use.
Tree Savers are straps that protect trees from damage when off-roading. They are made from high-strength nylon or polyester. They have various features that make them ideal for this application, including a padded collar that protects the tree from chafing and a buckle that allows for easy and secure use attachment.
The kinetic rope is a type of rope that is designed to absorb energy. It is made from various materials, including nylon, polyester, and Dyneema. The kinetic rope is often used in off-roading applications, as it can help to prevent damage to vehicles and equipment.

In off-road recovery, soft shackles are used in place of metal shackles to connect winch lines, recovery straps, and tree savers. They are lighter than metal shackles, float on water, and flex under load rather than fracturing - which reduces snap-back risk if the connection fails under tension. Holloway Houston manufactures soft shackles for the off-road recovery market. Browse Soft Shackles At Holloway Houston.
A tree saver strap is a wide nylon or polyester strap wrapped around a tree to serve as an anchor point during vehicle recovery. The wide profile spreads the contact area and protects the tree's bark from damage that a narrow wire rope or chain would cause. Tree savers are typically rated for the load range used in recreational 4x4 recovery. The manufacturer's documentation covers the rated capacity and appropriate use conditions for each product.
Steel shackles are forged metal connectors rated under industrial lifting standards. Soft shackles are made from synthetic rope and are typically rated by the manufacturer for recreational recovery applications. The practical differences in off-road recovery include weight (soft shackles are significantly lighter), surface contact (soft shackles will not damage paint or bodywork), and failure mode (soft shackles stretch and deform rather than fracturing into projectiles). Industrial overhead lifting applications use forged steel shackles governed by ASME B30.26; soft shackles are used in off-road recovery under the manufacturer's stated ratings.
Selection starts with the load being recovered — the gross vehicle weight and the expected recovery forces - and the rated capacity of the shackle in the intended configuration. The shackle's stated WLL and the ratings of the recovery strap or winch line it connects to should be reviewed together. Manufacturer documentation governs the rated use conditions for soft shackles.
