This innovative recovery solution is based on many years of experience during recovery, winching as well as many comments and request from participants of our Recovery Workshops. Our target was to design a system which fulfills all of those requirements:
  • extremly small, lightweight and durable
  • able to recover a vehicle in any direction, even upside-down
  • immune against sharp edges and even rocks and stones
  • compliant to modern standards of usage and ergonomics and requires few maintenance
  • doesn't require additional tools or supporting elements
  • poses no risk due to breaking wire ropes or similar
  • can be operated even with bare hands without risking any injury (just in case you have no gloves at hand)
  • compliant to the highest quality standards and "Made in German"
  • to offer many more ways to use and operate it than just "recovery"
  • We assessed straps, wire ropes, ropes, winches, Tirfors®, Hi-Lifts®, chains, pulleys and so on and combined their advantages into this new and unique system. The result is our patented Multi-System™ by Power-Trax.de in two major variants:
  • lightweight rope (Multi-Rope™) or strap (Multi-Strap™) which can be shortened without any additional tool, combined with
  • an extra-long lightweight chain hoist giving you the power plus
  • a rugged bag containing additional shackles and gloves
  • This system provides maximum weight-saving at an unsurpassed flexibility. You start to recover your vehicle over the pulling length of the chain hoist. Next you simply shorten the strap or rope and continue winching. No knots, shackles, tools required! The chain may be easily slung over vehicle frames, bumpers, trailer hitches, trees, even sharp rocks and is durable and long-lasting. Strap or rope provide an added flexibility to simply adjust to any required length during your work - fast and easy! A complete fotostory in terms of a demonstrated user manual can be found HERE (new window).
