SIZE YOUR KINETIC RECOVERY ROPE TO YOUR VEHICLE Purchase your Factor 55 KERR based on your vehi- cle’s gross vehicular weight rating (GVWR). A prop- erly sized rope for typical SUVs and trucks is one that has a 4:1 to 6:1 minimum breaking strength to GVWR ratio. For larger vehicles (Unimogs, EarthRoamers, Earth Cruisers, heavier military trucks, etc.), a 2:1 to 4:1 ratio may be acceptable.

If you use a smaller and lighter KERR, rope break- age might occur. If too large and heavy, the rope won’t stretch enough, reducing the maximum kinetic energy assist. The KERR must be suited to the GVWR of the lighter of the two vehicles used in the recovery process.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR USING YOUR KINETIC ENERGY ROPE • BE SMART ABOUT RECOVERY, NOT HASTY. Once stuck, take a pause to consider all aspects of the recovery. Conduct a stuck assessment and formu- late a recovery plan based on your circumstances. • DON’T GET STUCK WHEN HELPING. Kinetic energy recovery is a vehicle-assisted effort – you need two vehicles. When pulling close to the stuck vehicle to connect a KERR, don’t get the recovery vehicle stuck. • EXCAVATE AROUND THE STUCK VEHICLE. If the stuck vehicle is deeply buried in sand, snow, or mud, use a shovel to remove excess terrain from around its tire prior to a kinetic energy recovery.
THE BENEFITS OF RECOVERY WITH KINETIC ENERGY RECOVERY ROPES (KERR) • LIGHTWEIGHT EQUIPMENT. Compared to the weight of other recovery equipment commonly taken into the backcountry by off-roaders, a KERR is the lightest of any complete recovery system you can carry in your vehicle. • FASTER RECOVERY TIME. More often than not, you should take your time when conducting any type of off-road recovery of a stuck vehicle. However, there are situations when a quick recovery is necessary (e.g. stuck on a beach with the tide coming in, bad weather on the horizon, vehicle sliding off a trail or tipping over). In these situations, kinetic energy recovery of an endangered vehicle may be your best recovery option because it can be deployed and used faster than many other recovery options. • EASY EXTRACTION FROM SAND, MUD, AND SNOW. A KERR allows safe and smooth extraction of a vehicle stuck in compression-type terrain (sand, mud, and snow). It is exactly these types of terrain in which most off- roaders and overlanders typically get stuck. • RECOVERY OF A HEAVIER VEHICLE WITH A LIGHTER VEHICLE. With a KERR it is possible to get a heavy vehicle unstuck with a lighter vehicle using kinetic energy recovery. This is simply not possible with very low- stretch polyester straps or chain. • GREATER STRETCH WITH A KERR. In similar recovery situations, a Kinetic Energy Recovery Rope is capable of stretching a greater percentage than a Kinetic Energy Recovery Strap. Compared to a KERR, this means that the use of a flat nylon strap results in less elastic potential energy available for vehicle extraction through kinetic energy.
• SOFT AND SMOOTH EXTRACTION OF A STUCK VEHICLE. Very low-stretch polyester rigging straps and metal chain cannot extract a stuck vehicle as softly, as smoothly, or as effectively as a properly used KERR. Conducting a vehicle-assisted extraction of a stuck vehicle with very low-stretch rigging almost always results in hard jerks and jolts that can actually damage vehicles. Once very low-stretch rigging is tightened between two vehicles (in an attempt to reduce the jerks and jolts), the recovery vehicle often has a hard time securing traction and momentum since it must instantly pull a resistance load. • ABILITY TO SECURE TRACTION AND MOMENTUM PRIOR TO PULLING A RESISTANCE LOAD. A recovery vehicle using a KERR can secure traction and measured momentum (“mass in motion”) before and while stretching the nylon rope and building elastic energy in its fibers. When the elastic energy in a KERR becomes greater than the load resistance of the stuck vehicle, kinetic energy is released helping free the stuck vehicle. • HELPS YOU ADHERE TO TREAD LIGHTLY PRINCIPLES. Use your KERR to recover a stuck vehicle to preserve the environment and reduce trail damage. The spinning tires of a stuck vehicle only damage trails and tear up the environment.
