When considering size and weight in recovery kits, our Saber Offroad Ezy-Glide Recovery Ring & Bag - Polished Alloy offers a heavy-duty, yet small and lightweight option as an alternative to a snatch block. This recovery ring has a total diameter of 143mm and an internal diameter of 96mm, weighing less than 1kg (2.2lbs). In fact, it is nearly a quarter of the weight of a similarly rated snatch block. For optimal results, we recommend pairing the ring with either our Bound Soft Shackle or Sheath Soft Shackle, both of which have been rigorously tested and proven to minimize frictional load. Our design, developed in consultation with winch rope fiber manufacturers, aims to reduce wear and fatigue on the ropes used with the ring. Despite not being the smallest ring on the market, its size is strategically chosen for optimal performance and durability.
The Ezy-Glide Recovery ring must ONLY be used with soft shackles and synthetic winch ropes.
Is this the best recovery ring on the market?
What makes the Saber Offroad Ezy-Glide Recovery Ring a true market leader?
Here are the key advantages:
Engineered to Maximise Capacity & Minimise Rope Wear
When we looked at the design of the ring, we wanted to not only make sure it works well, it is light, small, but it must also protect the winch rope from fatigue leading to damage. We know that any tight bend in a rope under load decreases its strength and can cause damage, potentially leading to premature failure. In discussions with our winch line fiber manufacturers, we were advised that an 8:1 ratio for internal channel diameter (not outer diameter) is recommended. With our internal channel of 96mm (outer 143mm), we have a product ideal for winch ropes up to 12mm (1/2").
This ring is one of only a few on the market with an internal channel design suitable for synthetic winch ropes of 10mm or above.
The channel profile is specifically designed to support the rope and reduce the flattening of the fibres under load.
Free Form Central Core
Unlike most rings on the market, we have designed a free form central core to better support soft shackles and reduce friction in the system.
Heavy-Duty Design
Designed with T6 Billet Aluminium, this ring will withstand forces more than the listed Working Load Limit (W.L.L) of 12,500KG.
Australian Designed & Tested
This ring has been extensively tested both mechanically (in only Australian NATA accredited facilities) and in the real-world to make sure it will perform when you need it most.
High-Grade Custom Bag
Our custom-designed padded bag also includes a convenient clip to attach to existing recovery kits.
