What size rope do I need?

Ropes are rated based on the weight of the vehicle doing the recovery, not the vehicle that s stuck. Taking your 1 ton truck to the rescue? You need this 1 rope. 

What length should I get?

The rope length just depends on the user, the terrain, and the vehicles using the ropes. We recommend a 20 if you re going to be in dense woods or rocky areas, where space is limited. And a 30 rope for wide open fields and deserts.

What is the rope rated for?

The ropes have a Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS). You then use a Factor of Safety (FOS) to determine your Working Load Limit (WLL). Your FOS is typically somewhere between 3 and 5, so either a 3:1, 4:1, or 5:1. You will find your working load limit by dividing the MBS by the FOS. Example:

• • • 33,500 3 = 11,600
    • 33,500 4 = 8,375
    • 33,500 5 = 6,700

    • • • What is the proper way to store the rope?

          Yankum Ropes™ are designed to handle a lot of tough situations, and taking good care of your rope when not in use will prolong the life of the rope. It is recommended to store your rope out of the elements and away from harsh chemicals. 

          How fast should I go when performing a recovery with a kinetic rope?

          Start your recovery with a very slow pull, then move to kinetic pulls. Increase speed gradually until the stuck vehicle is free, but do not exceed 5 mph. If you ve reached 5 mph and the stuck vehicle hasn t moved, rethink a different way to recover. Stay safe!
