Introducing the Saber Offroad Ezy-Glide Recovery Ring, a compact and heavy-duty option that offers a lightweight alternative to traditional snatch blocks. Weighing less than 1kg (2.2lbs) and with a diameter of 143mm (and an internal diameter of 96mm), it is about 1/4 of the weight of a similarly rated snatch block. To maximize performance, we suggest using it with either our Bound Soft Shackle or Sheath Soft Shackle, both of which have undergone rigorous testing and have been proven to reduce frictional load.
We deliberately are not the smallest ring on the market, but as we outline below, this ring was specially designed in consultation with winch rope fibre manufacturers to reduce wear and fatigue on the ropes being used in conjunction with the ring.
The Ezy-Glide Recovery ring must ONLY be used with soft shackles and synthetic winch ropes.
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.
