Drive into some quicksand? This diameter size is best utilized in.......big machines. Why does this beat traditional flat webbing straps?
Yankum Ropes™ delivers extra linear force and added kinetic energy that give you the power of momentum. This rope was designed for professionals but made to serve anyone who needs an extra tug. This rope was built for machines from Combines to Military Tanks buried door deep. If the tank is stuck, this is your rope. It’s built to stretch and literally handle TONS of weight.
This Mil-Spec quality product is made out of the best Double Braided rope. We use our “Code Red” Polymeric coating to protect against UV, water and abrasion as well as dip the eyes in a thick, protective rubber coating to ensure extended life where it matters most. Yankum Ropes™ are not towing ropes. They are designed for recovery.
Remember to pair the recovery rope with the recovery vehicle, NOT the stuck vehicle.

FAQ
MATCH YOUR ROPE TO YOUR RIG
Every Yankum Rope is engineered to stretch just the right amount—but only when used with the right vehicle. Each rope diameter is built for a specific pulling weight range. For example, our 1" rope is tuned perfectly for a 1-ton pickup. That’s how you get a smooth, powerful kinetic pull.
Using too small of a vehicle with too big a rope? It won’t stretch, and you’ll lose the kinetic energy that makes these ropes work. Use too big of a rig with too small of a rope? You’ll overstretch it—or worse, snap it.
Size matters.It’s not about the stuck vehicle. It’s about the one doing the pulling.
2.5" Is Best Suited for
- Class 8 Vehicles up to 67k lbs
- Large Tractors

- Loader
Why Kinetic Ropes
Chains and cables can make for very dangerous recoveries when it comes to heavy equipment. Yankum Ropes™, however can stretch up to 30% longer when being used. This allows you to get a running start during a recovery, which couples momentum and mass to free the stuck vehicle. Without a Yankum Rope™ you rely solely on mass and traction, which often times, both are limited.
Let's get back to work
Whether it is the farm or the work site, when a piece of equipment is stuck, it can shut down the whole operation. A Yankum Rope™ has proven itself as the most effective and efficient way to get unstuck and get things moving again.
