Strong and reliable recovery points are essential for off-road driving, yet the lack of industry standards regarding rated tow points has caused confusion among 4WD drivers for many years. In light of this, ARB aims to set industry standards for 4WD users regarding the design, testing, and selection of recovery points. The ARB recovery point range is designed to address the issues associated with common tow points and their unsuitability for various recovery situations. These issues include questionable and unverified mounting locations, confusion regarding the selection of rated shackles and straps, and the failure of standard tow points to safely withstand the stress of angled pulls during vehicle recovery. ARB makes it easy for every customer to find the appropriate recovery point for their specific vehicle through a "recovery train" design, where vehicle-specific recovery points are rated for use with a 4.75t rated bow shackle and a 17,600lb (approx. 7,983kg) snatch strap.
