What you need to buy for effective 4WD recovery

4WD recovery winches

If your vehicle is at risk of requiring recovery, it’s important that you have high quality and reliable winches. Don’t settle for saving a few bucks by passing over tried and tested brands. Make sure you invest in durable, tough 4WD winches and accessories to ensure you never get stuck!

4WD recovery ropes

In addition to your winches, ropes are an essential tool for recovery. There’s almost unlimited utility in having strong ropes at your beck and call. From towing other vehicles to protecting tree trunks, there’s 101 reasons to keep a recovery rope or two in your four-wheel-drive.

4×4 recovery tracks and boards

Getting bogged in mud and sand is always a risk for the avid four-wheel-drive enthusiast. That’s why you need tracks and boards that will help you get out of the most tricky of situations. Trailer Parts Direct brings you a selection of lightweight, easy to use, and quality tracks and boards to help get back on track when off track and back to having fun.

Tyre gauge

Keeping your tyres properly pressurised is important for not just 4WD recovery but also for ensuring you don’t get bogged and stuck in the first place! One of the most common causes for four-wheel-drives getting bogged is incorrect pressure in the tyres. While most enthusiasts of off road driving know that you should let air out of the tyres as soon as you leave the bitumen road, keeping accurate track of the pressure in your tyres requires an accurate tyre gauge.

Tyre compressor and deflator

Measuring your tyres’ pressure is just part of the fun! You also need to be able to effectively deflate and pump your tyres. Tyre compressors and deflators are the easiest and quickest way to adjust your tyres pressure. Always make sure you take the time to deflate your tyres when heading off road and re-inflate them when you’re planning on driving at increased speeds back on the road.

Shovel

It may be a straightforward and unassuming piece of equipment but a shovel is a must have recovery tool. By simply using a shovel to help dig out the ends of your wheel, you’ll be giving your vehicle the best chance of getting unstuck. While shovels come in a variety of different sizes, you’ll need a full length shovel made of a sturdy, quality material that you can rely on. If space and storage is at a premium in your four-wheel-drive, there are a variety of compact options and screw-together options to choose from.

Snatch strap

Snatch straps, also called recovery straps, are very useful and effective for 4wd recovery and pulling bogged four-wheel-drives out of a sticky situation. However, these straps can be dangerous if not used properly and correctly. In fact, they have even killed and seriously injured people in the past. Make sure you know what you are doing and stay safe at all times. Of course, your snatch strap should also be suitable for the weight of your particular vehicle. If you’re not sure, better be safe than sorry and contact the Trailer Parts Direct for advice and guidance today.

First aid kit

Hopefully, this is one must-have recovery item you won’t have to use. But you need it one the least. A custom 4×4 first aid kit, like the one we stock right here at Trailer Parts Direct, will give you peace of mind that you can deal with any curveball your offroad adventure throws at you and keep you safe at all times.

Lighting

From 3-in-1 torches to full scale camp light set ups, having access to reliable lighting is a must have for 4WD recovery especially when getting bogged in the darkness of dusk and night. There are a variety of handy tools available in our range of CampBoss products, so make sure to check out what’s on offer today.
