Having sturdy recovery points is crucial for off-road driving. However, the absence of consistent industry standards for rated tow points has led to confusion among 4WD enthusiasts for a long time. To tackle this, ARB aims to establish a standard for the design, testing, and selection of recovery points by 4WD users. Their range of recovery points aims to solve problems related to generic tow points, which may not be suitable for various recovery scenarios.
Vehicle Specific Mounting:
- Complex mounting systems needed for certain vehicle models to ensure airbag deployment isn’t affected in crashes.
- ARB’s engineers dedicate months to designing and testing each recovery point to maintain the vehicle’s crash pulse and ensure optimal positioning for stress during recovery.
Rated for Angled Recovery:
- ARB recovery points rated for angled pulls, accommodating angles up to the maximum turn angle of the vehicle’s front wheels.
- Design includes a long slot for feeding the shackle’s bow through and attaching the strap via the pin, allowing the shackle to pivot within the recovery points to avoid side loads on the pin.
