Tow & Recovery Straps

Heavy-duty straps for towing and pulling a stuck vehicle

Tow and recovery straps help you move a disabled vehicle or free one stuck in mud, snow, or sand. They come in standard tow versions and stretchy recovery (snatch) versions, often with reinforced loops or hooks at each end.

We feature top-rated tow and recovery straps on Amazon so you can compare length, width, and rated capacity. Match the strap to your vehicle weight and use the correct attachment points for the job.

FAQ

What is the difference between a tow strap and a recovery strap?
Tow straps have little stretch and are meant for pulling a rolling vehicle. Recovery straps stretch to help free a stuck vehicle, and the two are not interchangeable.
What capacity do I need?
Choose a strap rated well above your vehicle weight for a safety margin. The product label lists the rated capacity, so match it to the heavier vehicle involved.
Where should I attach the strap?
Connect only to rated recovery or tow points, never to a bumper or steering parts. Keep bystanders clear and follow the manufacturer instructions, since loads can be sudden.
