The Maxtrax Rope Dampener is an essential safety accessory designed to reduce risk and improve control during vehicle recoveries. Built as part of the Maxtrax Recovery System, it helps manage recoil forces by absorbing and weighing down recovery ropes in the unlikely event of a failure.
Engineered exclusively for use within the Maxtrax system, the Rope Dampener is designed to work alongside other Maxtrax recovery gear. For safety, the system relies on the Maxtrax Fuse Shackle as the controlled weak point in any overload scenario, and it must always be used during recoveries.
Simple and practical to use, the Rope Dampener is positioned near the Fuse Shackle and draped over the connected recovery rope. It can also be attached directly using a Fuse Shackle. Before use, it should be filled with weighted material such as sand or water bottles, then secured by folding and fastening the sleeves to keep the load in place.
Once installed, the dampener sits over or hangs from the recovery line, helping to reduce movement and recoil risk during tensioned recoveries. For best results, always ensure it is correctly positioned close to the primary connection point in the system.
Specifications
- Material: 420 Denier Oxford Nylon & Polypropylene Webbing
- Dimensions: 53cm x 39cm (unfilled)
- Weight: 320g
Care & Maintenance
The Maxtrax Rope Dampener is built for rugged use, but should be regularly inspected and maintained. Check before each use for cuts, fraying, abrasion, or damage to stitching and fabric. Do not use if damaged. After use, empty contents, rinse with clean water, and allow to air dry completely before storing in a protective bag.
Safety Tips
- Always use within the Maxtrax Recovery System
- A Maxtrax Fuse Shackle must be used in every recovery
- Position dampener close to the main connection point
- Ensure sleeves are securely closed before use
- Keep all bystanders well clear during recovery
- Never use for lifting or towing
- Begin recovery slowly by gently taking up slack
- Consider proper 4WD recovery training before use
