6" Wide Mine Tow Strap | Heavy Duty

Equipment recovery in surface mining operations has been improved dramatically, with the use of Lift-It^® High Performance Fiber, Twin-Path^® Mine Tow Straps. High modulus, low elongation, K-Spec^® fiber does not store energy like wire and chain slings. Subsequently, High Performance Fiber Mine Tow Straps do not dissipate stored energy and have very little, if any whiplash at failure. Polyester Mine Tow Straps store energy and at failure dissipate it with whiplash. Mine Tow Straps include two sleeves for protection at the connection points. You must specify sling length.

Mine Tow Straps shall not be used for pulling, towing and/or vehicle recovery applications or be allowed to pull against stuck objects unless the user is qualified for this purpose and employs the following practices:

Attachment points must be suitable for the application; detached connection points can be deadly projectiles. Stand far away from the vehicle and strap while under tension. Ensure that connection points exceed the break strength of the Tow Strap.

The amount of tension applied to the Tow Strap shall never exceed Tow Strap Work Load Limits. Consideration shall be given to dynamic loading factors such as suction, incline, etc. Shock loading shall be avoided. If you are not capable of determining loading factors use load measuring devices or equipment controls to avoid overloading.

All applications shall ensure that control is maintained at all times over all components and materials. Planning shall involve the consideration of an uncontrolled release of any component or material. The release of tension and energy can result in serious injury or death.

Do not tie into knots. Avoid dragging the strap.
Inspect before each use. Do not use a damaged strap.
Do not overload the strap. Avoid contact with hot exhaust.
NEVER USE A TOW STRAP FOR ANY LIFTING APPLICATION.
ALWAYS ROTATE THE STRAP TO CHANGE CONNECTION POINTS.
