Light
The Y Strop uses Kevlar to achieve a unique and lightweight alternative to 2 leg chain or wire rope sling configurations. It is an excellent towing fixture due to its ease of use and safe handling. The light duty Y Strops are an ideal permanent addition for small to medium skid-mounted power generators, transformers, de- watering pumps, tool and equipment boxes. The Y strop is also suitable for light vehicle towing and recovery with twin point connections, common to farm, military and small to medium mine vehicles. The Kevlar core and thick rubber cover make the Y strop perfect for snow, sand and muddy conditions. The Kevlar Y Strop is UV stabilised, waterproof and can be used underwater as a tie-down or mooring strop.
Heavy
The Black Snake Heavy Duty Y Strop has an extra thick rubber skin and high strength round eyes for maximum protection of the Kevlar load bearing core. It is an excellent permanent towing fixture due to its ease of use and safe handling. The heavy duty Y Strops are the ideal addition for heavy skid-mounted equipment. The Y strop is also suitable for medium sized vehicle towing and recovery with twin point connections, common to farm, military and mine vehicles.
Bulldozer
The mine-site bulldozer is the towing vehicle of choice in many open-cut mining operations, quarry and construction sites. With ripper assemblies commonly attached to bulldozers, towing gear has many challenges maintaining integrity and strength in a hostile environment. Specifically designed for use with bulldozer rippers, we adapted Andromeda’s 'B’ fittings for use in the towing version of the Black Snake and introduce the: BULLDOZER Y Strop. The bearing (contact) zone of the ‘B’ fitting is typically marked in yellow paint and is the thickest part of the cast fitting. The ‘B’ fitting is fully welded. The BULLDOZER Y Strop is a specialised, heavy duty product and can be permanently attached to skid-mounted equipment for regular moves. The user should assess the suitability of this product and towing procedures when choosing to tow skid-mounted or similar equipment with bulldozer rippers.
