Compact 15-Ton Bridle / Equalizer (4m)

A bridle, also known as an equalizer, is a versatile tool in your kit. It makes offroad recoveries safer, and stronger.

Our Rusty 4x4 Bridle is much more compact and easier to handle than traditional bridles on the market.

It is also very versatile and can be used as a:

• winch extension
• kinetic recovery extension
• and a tow-rope

Specifications:

Breaking Strength: 15 Tonnes
Length: 4 Meters
Colour: Black/Silver

the bridle comes to the rescue – it's like the superhero cape of offroad recovery.

The bridle swoops in, spreading the pulling force like a wise grandma distributing candy at a family reunion. It's the zen master of offroad recovery, keeping things balanced and preventing your friend's ride from turning into a twisted pretzel.

Here are some key points regarding the use of a bridle in offroad vehicle recovery:

1. Even Distribution of Force: When a vehicle is stuck, it may be necessary to use a winch or another pulling device to extract it. Attaching a bridle to two recovery points on the car allows the force to be evenly distributed, reducing the risk of damage to specific components and providing better control over the pulling process.
2. Preventing Damage: Using a single recovery point may lead to uneven stress on the vehicle, potentially causing damage to the frame, chassis, or other components. A bridle helps mitigate this risk by spreading the load across multiple attachment points.
3. Stability: The use of a bridle enhances stability during the recovery operation. It helps prevent the vehicle from tipping or becoming unstable as the pulling force is applied.
4. Versatility: Bridles are versatile and can be used in various recovery scenarios. Whether a vehicle is stuck in mud, sand, snow, or on uneven terrain, a bridle provides a flexible and adaptable solution.
5. Compatibility: Bridles are compatible with different types of recovery equipment, including winches, tow straps, and snatch blocks. This makes them a valuable tool for offroad enthusiasts and recovery professionals.
6. Safety: Properly using a bridle contributes to safer offroad recoveries. By distributing the force more evenly, the likelihood of sudden movements or component failure is reduced, enhancing overall safety for both the recovery team and the vehicle occupants.

It's important to note that when using a bridle or any recovery equipment, individuals should follow proper safety practices, use appropriate gear, and consider factors such as vehicle weight, terrain conditions, and equipment ratings.

It is paramount to underscore that the improper use of kinetic ropes can pose severe risks to both individuals and property. Due to the remarkable stretch capability, exceeding 20% of its length, the kinetic energy generated during recovery or towing can surpass the structural limits of anchoring points, connectors (such as shackles), or the kinetic rope itself. This elastic property can lead to a potentially dangerous slingshot effect, resulting in significant harm or damage.

Rusty 4x4 assumes no liability for any injury or property damage arising from the use of these kinetic ropes. It is imperative to exercise extreme caution, adhere to safety guidelines, and receive proper training when employing such equipment in recovery operations. Safety should always be the foremost consideration when dealing with kinetic ropes to mitigate potential risks effectively.
