ARB 30 ft Snatch Strap – 17,500 lb
SKU: ARBARB705LB
The ARB Snatch Strap (17,500 lb) is one of the most essential tools for safe and effective 4x4 vehicle recovery. Unlike a standard tow strap, a snatch strap is designed with genuine elasticity, allowing it to stretch under load and harness stored kinetic energy to pull a stuck vehicle free.
This stretch not only boosts recovery force—it dramatically reduces shock load on both vehicles, lowering the risk of damage to chassis, recovery points, and driveline components. Manufactured from premium 100% nylon to strict ARB specifications and tested in a NATA-approved lab, this strap delivers trusted strength, durability, and consistency when it matters most.
Ideal for sand, mud, snow, and off-road extractions where momentum is lost, this strap helps recover a vehicle that cannot move under its own power.

Tech Insight
A snatch strap works differently from a tow strap:
Tow straps = no stretch
Snatch straps = elastic under load
This elasticity is critical for safe recoveries. It absorbs shock, prevents metal-to-metal load spikes, and allows kinetic energy to build during the recovery pull—making it easier to free a stuck vehicle without damaging either rig. ARB’s strict manufacturing and lab testing ensure every strap meets performance expectations in the harshest environments.
