Recovery Point and Tow Points

When you’re bogged to the sills and reaching for a winch or snatch strap, the last thing you want to discover is that your “tow point” is nothing more than a thin piece of steel tucked behind the bumper. Factory tow points are designed for light-duty towing on sealed roads, not for the violent loads of off-road recoveries.

Try pulling a stuck or heavily loaded 4WD off a beach or out of rutted clay with the standard hook and you’re asking for trouble. They bend, they break, and in the worst cases, they can turn into dangerous projectiles. That’s why heavy-duty recovery points are one of the most important upgrades any 4WDer can make.

Designed, Tested, Proven

Every Superior Engineering rated recovery point is engineered for real-world abuse. Our team use a mix of CAD data, FEA modelling, and destructive testing on a 200-ton NATA-certified rig to ensure each design can handle the loads. We then test fit on actual chassis rails to confirm strength, mounting integrity, and airbag compatibility.

This means when you fit a Superior recovery point, you’re fitting gear that has been:

• Designed from premium steel for your specific vehicle
• Tested for strength and durability under extreme loads
• Shaped and positioned to retain steering clearance and maximise ground clearance

Recovery Made Easy

We’ve built in features that make recovery safer and more practical in the bush:

• High-clearance designs to avoid snagging or burying into the dirt
• Large slotted lugs to accept oversized rated shackles and allow pivoting to reduce side-loading
• Integrated designs with IFS bash plates that keep the eyes recessed and protected
• Durable red powder-coat finish for visibility and long-lasting protection

All kits include a full mounting pack with high-tensile bolts and fitting instructions.

Safety First – Every Time

A rated recovery point isn’t just about strength, it’s about safety. Tow balls are never safe for snatch recoveries and can cause serious injury or worse. With two rated points fitted, you can use a bridle to share the load evenly across the chassis, reducing stress and improving safety even further.

Bottom line! If you’re serious about off-roading, don’t trust your recovery to flimsy factory hooks. Superior Engineering recovery points are purpose-built, tested, and proven so you can get out of trouble safely, every time.
