RotopaX PaX 8 Foot Tree Saver Strap — Winch Anchor and Short Tow Strap (3" Wide)

Key Features

• 8-foot x 3-inch flat strap — primary function as a tree saver for winch recoveries; secondary function as a shorter static tow and anchor strap
• Wraps wide and flat around tree trunks to distribute winch load across a larger surface area — protects the tree and the surrounding bark from cable or hook damage
• 8-foot length accommodates most usable trees with enough remaining strap for shackle or winch hook attachment at both looped ends
• 3-inch width provides substantial load-bearing surface for high-tension winch recovery use
• Doubles as a short static tow strap for close-range pulls, bumper-to-bumper connections, or short anchor setups
• Static construction — no stretch or energy storage; designed for controlled steady-pull applications only
• Included in the RotopaX PaX Recovery Gear Kit and available separately as a standalone strap

Dimensions

• Length: 8 feet
• Width: 3 inches

What's Included

• One 8 Foot x 3 Inch Tree Saver / Flat Strap

Important Notes

• This is a STATIC strap — it must NOT be used as a kinetic pull strap; use a purpose-built kinetic rope for kinetic recovery applications
• Always use a tree saver strap when anchoring to trees — running a winch cable or hook directly around a tree trunk causes damage and is prohibited in many trail systems
• Inspect before each use — retire and replace if the strap shows signs of fraying, cuts, UV degradation, or structural damage

3. Do not ship an item back to PAD Overland, the manufacturer, or the supplier without prior authorization. Unauthorized returns or products sent to the incorrect location may be refused.
4. Package the product securely with all original components and paperwork. Insured, trackable shipping is strongly recommended.

• For freight damage, please note visible damage with the carrier at delivery and take photos before signing whenever possible.
• The standard 35% PAD Overland restocking fee does not apply when PAD Overland determines that a return is required because we shipped the incorrect product or because an item arrived damaged or defective and a return/refund is the approved resolution.
