Double-Ended Recovery Hook, 7.5 t — TXJL 1258
A double-ended hook that lets you connect a tow rope to a towing point quickly and without fuss. Made from metal alloys; the supplier quotes a 7.5 tonne rating. It does not say whether that is a working load limit or a breaking strength, and its text says black while the photos show a red hook.
Double-Ended Recovery Hook, 7.5 t — TXJL 1258
Two attachment points in one piece: a rope or strap goes on one end, the towing point on the other. Recovering in mud, that is the difference between ten seconds and a quarter of an hour spent looking for a shackle.
In the photo the hook is clipped into a point under a vehicle with a recovery strap on the other eye; both ends have closing catches.

Fitting and notes
Before you use this hook for a recovery, check one thing: the supplier quotes a 7.5 t rating but does not say whether that is a working load limit or a breaking strength. That distinction matters enormously with a kinetic rope, where a single snatch can multiply the vehicle's weight several times over. Until it is clarified, treat it as a towing item rather than a recovery item. Note too that the text says black while the photos show a red hook.
Frequently asked questions
What colour will I get?
The supplier's text says black, the photos show red. Confirm with us before ordering.
Is 7.5 t a working load limit?
The supplier does not specify. Do not assume it is a working figure.
Is it suitable for a kinetic rope?
Without a working load limit and a standard, we do not recommend that use.
