T-MAX tree anchor strap, 5m, 12T, green

A tree anchor strap is usually used to attach a winch rope to a tree. For this purpose, the strap is placed around the tree and the two loops are hooked into the winch cable. Of course, the tree anchor strap can also be used as a recovery strap for towing or pulling free. The name Tree Trunk Protector is only derived from the length of the harness and its usual purpose.

Under no circumstances should the rope of a winch be placed directly around the tree and hooked into itself with the hook. A steel cable would cut into the tree and at the hook the cable would buckle and be damaged. Even with a synthetic rope, the kink at the hook would lead to a significant reduction in breaking load. Rubbing against the tree when tightening could damage individual fibres of the plastic rope.

The tree anchor straps from T-MAX are made of nylon. Both ends are folded, reinforced and protected with an additional cover. A sliding sleeve serves as additional protection and should fit snugly against the tree trunk.

Depending on the size of the rope hook, it is easier to securely fasten the tree anchor strap to the hook using an additional shackle, especially for ATV winches.
