Truckman

Truckman, the UK’s leading manufacturer and distributor of 4x4 and vehicle accessories, is offering off-road adventurers’ and commercial recovery specialists’ access to a new range of tough and high-quality recovery accessories to keep them moving in the most extreme conditions.

Following its acquisition by Australia-based ARB, Truckman is enlarging its accessory range to include highly robust recovery equipment produced by ARB that has been tested to the extreme in some of the most challenging environments Down Under.

The ARB Recovery Range includes:

Snatch straps, specially designed to stretch under load for the ultimate performance which provides an effective method of extracting a bogged or immobilised 4x4 when a second vehicle is present.

Winch extension straps, which is light-weight and non-stretch making it perfect for extending the length of a winch’s cable when the most suitable anchor point is out of reach.

Snatch blocks, which enable drivers to retrieve loads that are double a winch’s capacity by reducing the load on the winch by half, allowing winching from varying angles when straight ahead isn’t the best option. ARB’s snatches incorporate side plates that fit snugly against the pulley eliminating the possibility of the winch cable becoming trapped in between.

There are two models of block available – the standard 7,000 kg and the lightweight, but heavy duty, 9,000 kg.

A range of purpose-built recovery kits and bags containing essential items to release an off-road vehicle that has become stuck.

A selection of Tred recovery boards to aid a 4x4 when traction is lost in in a variety of challenging conditions including sand, mud, sludge or snow. Treds, which are engineered and made in Australia, are designed to handle intense levels of torque, flex, weight and impact.

Mike Wheeler, Executive Chairman of Truckman, said: “4x4 owners and vehicle recovery specialists often come across challenging terrains and extreme weather conditions, and need to be prepared in case their vehicle gets bogged down during a torrential downpour on a steep mountain track or stuck in deep mud or stranded in unstable sand.

“That is where ARB’s custom-built and highly tested recovery kits and accessories, which are ideal for both recreational and commercial scenarios, come into their own. The key focus in the design and manufacturing of ARB accessories has been on reliability, performance and durability which complements Truckman’s ethos.”
