Off-Road Equipment

OnCourse sells EXTREME recovery equipment made by OK Off-Road in the United States and ARB from Australia. This gear is strong enough to deal with the worst conditions possible and to pull out the heaviest 4wd vehicles, including standard armoured Landcruisers. We can also supply off-road equipment for ATV's and Unimogs.

NOTE: 4wd recovery is dangerous and safety rules must be strictly adjured to, for this reason, we always recommend you take a recovery course to ensure correct compliance.

Synthetic Winch Rope

Amsteel Blue synthetic winch rope

Amsteel Blue synthetic fiber rope has a higher breaking strength than that of steel cable of the same diameter, and weighs 1/6th less.

It won't get all wound-up like cable when unspooled. It can't develop sharp frays, and it doesn't conduct electricity or heat. It won't rust, doesn't kink, doesn't recoil, doesn't stretch, or store energy. Need we say more (maybe just a little more)!


Synthetic Winch Rope Specs

  • Recommended size: 3/8" x 100' /20,400 lbs Ultimate Strength.
  • U.S. made.
  • Colours: Signature hunter green or original blue.
  • UV protection coated.
  • Lock-stitched Class II splicing, with heat-shrink.
  • 10' abrasion guard included.
  • Net weight: 2.5kg (+ 3.3kg for aluminium fairlead, winch hook, line saver).

Extra Upgrade Recommended

self locking winch hookaluminum hawse fairlead

To upgrade your winch to work with a synthetic rope, we recommend you replace the winch hook and roller fairlead to a self-locking hook and aluminium Hawse fairlead.

  • Self-locking hook: The clevis opening on your stock hook will probably be too narrow to fit it.
  • Hawse fairlead: Machined from billet aluminium, it maintains a smooth machined surface, and unlike traditional steel fairleads, this fairlead will not fray or tangle the winch rope.

Note: This conversion is not only safer, but you will be carrying almost 10 kg less on the front of your vehicle; a 3/8" x 100' cable weighs almost 11.4 kg; a roller fairlead 4.5 kg.
