ARB | RECOVERY POINT 8T | DIESEL ENGINE ONLY | Y61 1998+

Each ARB recovery point undergoes considerable research and design involving actual vehicle chassis samples and CAD data relating to critical front sections of the vehicle. Dozens of designs are explored, with the more promising models built into prototypes and tested on the actual vehicle chassis using ARB’s various load and destructive testing equipment.

Some vehicle models demand very complex mounting systems to ensure fitment does not affect air bag deployment in the event of an accident. With months of design and testing dedicated to each individual recovery point, ARB’s engineers ensure that the crash pulse of the vehicle remains unaffected, whilst also ensuring the recovery points are fitted in the optimal location to handle the stresses experienced during vehicle recovery.

ARB recovery points are rated in an angled direction of pull and this has been achieved for angles up to the maximum turn angle of the front wheels of the vehicle. The design features a long slot as it allows the bow of the shackle to be fed through and the strap attached via the pin instead of the bow. This allows the shackle to pivot within the recovery points to avoid side loads on the pin.

ARB Forged Recovery Points are tailored specifically to each vehicle, offering a stronger yet lighter Recovery Point. The ARB Forged Recovery Point slot features a chamfered edge specifically designed to suit both soft and steel shackles.

Developed to fit with ARB Under Vehicle Protection (UVP), ARB Under Vehicle Armour (UVA) or OE protection, each ARB Forged Recovery point is rated at 8,000kg up to the maximum turn angle of the front wheels. Being precision robot-welded, the recovery point’s are developed to allow for different set-ups of recovery equipment to suit each individual situation.
