CWImports: Premium Australian-Made Snatch Straps for Heavy Machinery

At CWImports, we supply Australian-made Snatch Straps that are specifically engineered to handle the tough demands of modern, large-scale machinery. Our snatch straps are designed with durability and performance in mind, making them an essential tool for safely recovering bogged equipment. However, it’s crucial to use the correct size snatch strap to match both the weight of the stuck machinery and the available towing horsepower.

Understanding Strap Limitations

While our snatch straps are built for strength, all straps have their limitations. Our straps are designed to release at the weakest point—the end of the stitching at the loop—ensuring a controlled failure point. If a strap breaks elsewhere or is torn, this is typically the result of improper use, such as:

• The strap getting caught on the drawbar instead of pulling directly on the pin
• The strap being wrapped around an axle with a shackle that cuts the material
• Incorrect towing techniques, such as pulling instead of snatching
