The K.E.R.R. works in the following way:
- One end of the K.E.R.R. is connected to the trapped vehicle and the other to the towing vehicle
- The towing vehicle accelerates to a maximum speed of 16mph (26kph), snatching the rope with it’s energy
- The towing vehicle is slowed or halted and it’s kinetic energy is transferred into potential energy within the stretched rope
- The rope transfers the kinetic energy to the trapped vehicle and after a pause the trapped vehicle rises free
- If the vehicle is not freed on the first attempt, the process can be repeated
- Once free, continued towing with the K.E.R.R is possible
Construction: 8 Strand high grade nylon Colours: White, Olive Drab, Desert Sand Termination: 450mm Protected soft eye splice each end
The K.E.R.R. should be used by trained personnel only and should never be used on soft shell 4x4 vehicles
