Tow Straps / Tree Strops

[rodp]

About twenty to thirty tow straps available. 5 mtr long x 14 ton break in a straight pull, 28ton if doubled as a bridle or tree strop. They are made from 60mm wide webbing so take up no space when coiled up.
All are pre-used and are in fact ex lifting slings so made to critical specifications using certified webbing and thread, all have reinforced eyes.
They are in very good condition and most are very clean (not greasy, just storeage locker dirt), it's just that the current lifting standards are very, very high and theoretically a sling should now fail with just a 1mm cut in an edge
These make perfect tow straps and by offering them for swap it means anyone can have the opportunity to have one (or more) if they want one.
Swap for anything interesting, I'm in to woodwork, photography (digital), air rifles (preferably classic / old needing work) and I've got a Surf.
List price of these new is only about £28 / £30 each anyway so make an offer to swap.

Would really like one of those mate.

I have a brand new solid flambeau gun case in black "fully padded inside" for swaps.
Bought it for my new rimfire but it won't fit due to a huge moderator.

It'll do me, PM sent.

i bin loads of similar strops at work tbh,health and sfety as you say,but for me i'd be to worried about passing them on and one snapping on sumone,my 2 pennies worth

For off road recovery 5m is a bit short mate. You need the recovery truck out the shite your stuck in I would go for 8m minimum.

This 10m one would do you 5 ton break
This guy will also make you any length and strength you require.

buy from anyone except damar webbing products is my advice. I'm sure anyone who works with or knows about lifting slings and strops and spends five minutes reading some of his listings will give the same advice.

The one in the link for example: basically being passed off as a 5 tonne SWL simplex sling, i ain't quite worked out what it is, but it ain't that. A 5 tonne simplex that's upto current regs would be that same colour but about 5" wide. A 2" wide simplex slings got a SWL of around 1 tonne and should be purple in colour.

The only normal exception is that theatre/film crews and stage riggers have all their slings regardless of strength made up in black or white rather than the normal colours to make them less visible when used above or around the stage.

Massive difference in the webbing quality mate, that's lashing webbing, 5 ton break only (and I'll bet it wont reach that on a tensile, bet it's Chinese). These are 14 ton break, that's nearly three times those others, plus they'll only have a 5 ton sew.
You really can't compare slings with lashing webbing, it's worlds apart in terms of quality (and price). If they're not long enough just join two together. The idea of putting them in the swap section was so anyone could have one or two without paying the earth. I'm not going to bin them and I 'm not going to give them away for nothing but on the other hand I'm not going to rip anyone off, swaps are fair, everyone wins.

BDT, I see where you are coming from mate but these are so over the top it's unlikely you would break one without ripping something off the motor first. A 4 ton winch aint gonna touch one even with snatch block on and a tow certainly wont damage one. Thanks for the concern anyway.

no worries and yr prob right mate,just wanted to say
ive got a lovely one at work atm,taken off one of our heavy wreckers 10m long and 72cm wide,rated to 40t

A 2" wide simplex slings got a SWL of around 1 tonne and should be purple in colour.

OK, lets get it straight. A 1oookg simplex sling will be 60mm violet webbing (one layer) with a safety ratio of 7 to 1, IE 7000kg break. it has to be made to certain regulations (such as how close the sew can be to the edge etc), it has to be certified by a competent person (me) It has to be part of a batch that is tested every so often or if any change in manufacture materials or process, and so it goes on and on and on.

Those in the link ARE strap / lashing webbing, different loas rating (5T break max) and much, much cheaper webbing, different sew etc.

These for swap come from a blue chip company that adheres strictly to the letter of the law, I actually am instructed by them to find reason to fail them during test.
Some may have the odd scuff or nick but I would stand under one with ten tons on it

Believe me, they're a bitch to make, all that webbing has to go through a sewing machine

Are you saying he's selling 1tonne straps as 5 tonne straps? Surely that's a serious criminal offence and you should be taking your evidence to the authorities?

The Damar ones have blue tags.
