The MAXTRAX Rope Dampener (MTXRD) from Nomadic Supply Company® is an essential safety accessory engineered to work within the MAXTRAX Recovery System, helping to manage rope energy and reduce hazards during vehicle recoveries. Constructed from durable 420 Denier Oxford Nylon and Polypropylene Webbing, the MAXTRAX Rope Dampener (MTXRD) delivers reliable performance in demanding off-road situations.
The MAXTRAX Rope Dampener (MTXRD) features two fillable sleeves that accept weighted materials such as sand or water bottles, allowing users to customize dampening weight to suit the recovery scenario. Secured by fold-over clips, the sleeves stay firmly closed during use, and the dampener can be draped over the attached rope or left to hang freely, making it a versatile addition to any serious recovery kit.
Designed specifically for use alongside MAXTRAX Kinetic Rope, MAXTRAX Static Rope, and MAXTRAX Winch Rope, the MAXTRAX Rope Dampener (MTXRD) integrates seamlessly into the broader MAXTRAX Recovery System. Weighing just 320g and measuring 53cm x 39cm when unfilled, the MAXTRAX Rope Dampener (MTXRD) is lightweight and compact enough to store inside a MAXTRAX Recovery Kit Bag, keeping it protected and ready for the next adventure.
MAXTRAX Rope Dampener (MTXRD) Features:
- Designed and Tested for the MAXTRAX Recovery System: Designed and tested as part of the MAXTRAX Recovery System — only use with MAXTRAX products; not tested with third-party branded products.
- Fuse Shackle Requirement: YOU MUST USE a MAXTRAX Fuse Shackle in the MAXTRAX Recovery System during any vehicle recovery — the Fuse Shackle is designed to be the weakest link and expected point of failure if the system is overloaded.
- Positioning with Fuse Shackle: Position the Rope Dampener near the MAXTRAX Fuse Shackle; can be connected to a Rope Loop with a MAXTRAX Fuse Shackle.
- Rope Compatibility: Compatible with MAXTRAX Kinetic Rope, MAXTRAX Static Rope, and MAXTRAX Winch Rope.
- Fillable Sleeves: Two sleeves that can be filled with weighted material or objects such as sand or water bottles; sleeves are closed by folding over the edge 2 times and securing the clips.

- Care and Maintenance: Always carefully inspect components before each use for wear and tear, cuts, nicks, abraded, burned, melted, and frayed areas. DO NOT USE if damaged, cut, frayed, burned, melted, abraded, or partially unwound, or if it does not have a clearly legible warning label.
- Cleaning and Storage: After use, wash off, rinse with clean fresh water, and air dry at the earliest opportunity. Store inside the MAXTRAX Recovery Kit Bag to protect from external environmental weather factors.

- Lifting and Towing Restriction: The strap must not be used for lifting or conventional towing.
- Wet Conditions Warning: The strap’s strength and stretch are reduced when saturated with water.
