Is the hitch pin rated for use like this? I would think the pin may bend as all force is going to be in the middle of the pin?
Thanks for the tips.
nicely done by the professionals
Thanks for the tips! Now i know how to use my Miolle strap
Breaking points are generally around stitching areas, rope degradation , or soft shackle knots. Better to use steel bow shackles, they'll remain attached to the vehicle and will not catapult. Soft shackles are safest when used to connect straps/winch extension ropes together etc.
Maybe do a video on snatch care..? How to look after it etc
Australians tend to do kinetic recovwries as first option. It should bethe last option.
Expensive bits of metal those recovery points are.
Seriously dude, you need to take this down. A lot of inexperienced people would be watching this and you are telling people it's ok to use the hitch pin in the towing vehicle. Firstly the pin can bend and you will never remove it without cutting it and also this way the double shear strength needed for the pin has been reduced significantly. Secondly the inside edges of tow hitch receivers are never smooth and can rub on the strap and damage it. Only to be used in an absolute emergency if there is no other option and that SHOULD have been said as a warning to unaware folk. Also dampener blankets should have a bit of sand or dirt filled in to them to help weigh the recovery gear down if something were to go wrong.
100% agree. Soft shackles should never be used around recovery points that do not have a rounded smooth radius. Also using hitch pin to attach snatch strap means you have a single shear situation where the force is applied to the middle of the pin where it can bend and snap. With a proper recovery hitch, the hitch pin is up against the material of the hitch
and is placed into a double sheer scenario where it has to cleanly sheer at both ends for the hitch to come out, greatly increasing its strength
You don’t put the round part of bow shackle through the recovery point.
What bow shackle, they never used one
@@mobydickmischeivousadventures 1:16 they did
ARB advise to do just that as do many other companies.
@@007oli From a dogging and rigging perspective, you want the bow of the bow shackle to take the side loads and not the pin.
Obviously Deano has no idea how to use a snatch strap, only a silly fool would use the pin on the tow hitch!
You bang on about rated recovery points then say it's safe to use the hitch pin, if nothing else good way to bend the pin and have to cut it out!!
