As a safety measure when using a winch, it is recommended to attach a recovery damper before applying a load. In the unlikely event that a wire rope or strap snaps, the recovery damper absorbs most of the energy from the cable or strap, significantly reducing recoil.
ARB's recovery damper is made of durable vinyl and features pockets for storing snatch blocks and shackles. This makes it convenient when moving from your 4WD to an anchor point.
Currently, recovery dampers are a mandatory accessory in many 4WD competitions, and ARB's damper exceeds the minimum weight requirements for these events.
