The company says the straps are offered in two models, standard and extreme duty. Both straps are a double ply 2-in. wide by 30-ft.-long and constructed of low stretch 100 percent polyester. While both straps have Cordura reinforced eyes, the company says the entire 30-ft. length of the Extreme Duty strap is sleeved in Cordura for maximum abrasion protection.
Additionally, like all Factor 55 soft goods., each strap is individually serialized for date and material lot traceability. All straps are clearly marked with Working Load Limits (WLL) based on the various strap configurations, the company says.
“We prefer double ply 2-in. strap construction over wider single ply 3- and 4-in. wide straps. We have discovered that the wider strap edges get abraded and worn easily versus narrower straps,” Factor 55 reports.
Factor 55 adds its tow straps are not dynamic elastic recovery straps like “Snatch”, “Yank” and Kinetic Ropes. It’s tow straps retain very little elasticity and are designed for longer distance prolonged towing. Because of this, the Factor 55 Standard and Extreme Duty Tow Straps may also be used as winch line extensions, the company says.
