Factor 55 Recovery Gear FAQs
Where is Factor 55 based?
Boise, Idaho. Factor 55 describes itself as an engineering design firm whose staff came from aerospace, defense and semiconductor work.
Is Factor 55 gear made in the USA?
Much of it is. Factor 55 lists its straps, rope guards, fairleads, snap rings and hitch pins as made in the USA, and its vehicle recovery kits as built from all made-in-USA components.
What is Closed System Winching?
It is Factor 55's name for rigging the winch line to recovery points through a shackle pin mount instead of an open hook. Factor 55 says the UltraHook's integrated shackle pin mount allows this safer practice.
What size kinetic rope do I need?
Go by vehicle weight. Factor 55 rates the 7/8" rope for 4,000–6,500 lb, the 1" for 6,500–8,500 lb, and the 1.5" for 9,000–20,000 lb.
What is the Factor 55 warranty?
One year against defects in materials and craftsmanship from the date of purchase, for the original purchaser. Return shipping is the customer's cost.
