Get the core recovery equipment together before you need it

The ARB Essentials kit is a useful starting point when you want your main strap and winching accessories packed in one place. It gives you a snatch strap, tree-trunk protector, snatch block and two bow shackles, with a bag to keep them together between trips.

SKU: XRRRK11A

Different components for different jobs

The 8,000kg-rated snatch strap is used for a suitable kinetic vehicle recovery. The 12,000kg tree protector provides a wider connection around a suitable winch anchor, while the 9,000kg snatch block is used in an appropriate winching arrangement. Two galvanised Type S bow shackles each have a 4.75t working-load limit.

These ratings describe individual components. A strap's breaking strength is not the same measure as a shackle's working-load limit, and the kit does not have a single capacity obtained by combining them.

Choose the kit around what you already carry

The storage bag makes it easier to check the core components before leaving and find them when you need to recover the vehicle. Add the remaining equipment for your chosen recovery method: rated recovery points, suitable damping equipment and gloves all matter to a properly planned recovery.

If you want the winch extension, recovery damper and gloves supplied together, the ARB Premium Recovery Kit includes those additions. The Essentials kit can make sense when you already own them or are assembling the equipment separately.

Keep the equipment ready for the next trip

Use only suitable rated recovery points and follow the instructions for the method you choose. Never attach a snatch strap to a tow ball, and keep bystanders away from the recovery area. Training and a considered recovery plan are as important as the equipment.

After use, inspect the straps, block and shackles. Clean and dry them as instructed, replace damaged components and store the bag somewhere accessible when the vehicle is loaded.

Frequently asked questions

What comes in the Essentials kit?

The snatch strap, tree protector, snatch block, two bow shackles and storage bag described above.

Are gloves and a damper included?

They are separate for this Essentials kit. The Premium RK9A kit includes both, plus a winch-extension strap.

Can I use it without rated recovery points?

No. The vehicle attachment points and all other parts of the recovery arrangement need to suit the chosen method and forces involved.

Is the kit rated for a 9-tonne vehicle?

No. The 9,000kg number belongs to the snatch block. Select every component for the specific recovery rather than treating one component rating as a vehicle-weight allowance.

How should it be stored after use?

Clean and dry the equipment as instructed, inspect it for damage and keep the bag accessible in the vehicle.
