Gear that keeps towing simple
Conveying & Hoisting Solutions supports crews and weekenders who want kit that just works. Start with rated recovery points and a hitch that matches your tow weight. Add a snatch strap or kinetic rope, a damper, and soft shackles to cut down dangerous recoil. Brake controllers keep trailers steady on descents, while extended mirrors keep sightlines clean when the track narrows. Tyre deflators and a compact compressor help you set pressures for sand, clay, or rock without guesswork. Then toss in work lights, a tarp, and proper gloves—because a calm recovery beats a frantic one every time.
• Rated recovery points matched to the vehicle
• Kinetic rope or snatch strap with damper
• Soft shackles, bridle, and gloves for safety
Build a kit that works
A tidy kit isn’t about more gear, it’s about the right mix, packed sensibly. Keep heavy items low and forward to protect handling. Use storage cases that won’t explode across the track the first time you hit corrugations. Choose rated hitches, pins, and tow hooks, and retire any strap that’s frayed or sun-bleached. Check towball weight, wiring, and the brake controller before you roll. On longer trips, consider pairing a jump starter with a trickle charger, and don't forget to stash spare split pins, fuses, and a headlamp. The result? Recoveries feel routine, not risky, and your trailer tracks straight behind you.
• Put heavier items low and forward
• Use rated hitches, pins, and shackles
• Carry compressor, deflators, plug-in jump starter
Confidence when the track turns nasty
Outback weather turns quickly; so can a simple bog into a long night. Plan recoveries like a system: assess ground, set pressures, clear the path, then rig the lift or pull. Traction boards shorten the digging and save your shoulders. Keep comms charged and someone briefed on your route. A neat approach protects people and hardware while shaving minutes off every problem. That’s the difference between arriving at the campsite early and limping in after dark. If you’re setting up for the season and want a quick sense-check on essentials, have a look at smart off-road towing accessories.
