Why Krawlergrips Use 550 Paracord for 4WD Grab Handles

Why Our 550 Paracord Is the Foundation of Every Krawlergrip

Quality material chosen for strength, durability, and everyday 4WD use

Every Krawlergrip starts with the right materials. We use Type III Commercial Grade 550 Paracord because it provides the durability, comfort, and reliability needed for a product designed to live inside your 4WD.

From weekend adventures to long distance touring, your interior accessories need to handle changing conditions while still looking great.

100% Nylon Construction

Our 550 Paracord is made from quality nylon fibres, giving it excellent strength, flexibility, and resistance to everyday wear.

The 4mm cord diameter provides a comfortable grip while maintaining the durability expected from a premium paracord product.

Designed for the Australian Environment

4WD gear is exposed to dust, moisture, heat, and changing conditions.

Our paracord is selected for its resistance to:

  • Moisture
  • Mildew
  • Rot
  • General outdoor wear

This helps your Krawlergrips maintain their appearance and performance through everyday use and adventure.

Lightweight, Strong, and Comfortable

A great grab handle needs to feel good in your hand while adding a custom touch to your vehicle.

550 Paracord provides:

✔ A soft, comfortable grip
✔ A durable outer finish
✔ A wide range of colour options
✔ Lightweight construction without unnecessary bulk

Quality You Can Trust

Our paracord is manufactured in the USA to consistent quality standards, giving us confidence in the material we use in every Krawlergrip.

Combined with our handmade construction and attention to detail, it helps us create a product that is built to suit 4WD owners who care about quality.

Why it matters

The material is only one part of a Krawlergrip.

Every handle is individually handmade, checked, and finished before it reaches your vehicle.

Quality cord + careful craftsmanship = a grab handle made to personalise your rig and last for years.

Your rig. Your way.

What 550 Paracord Does (and Doesn’t) Mean

Understanding the material behind every Krawlergrip

The "550" in 550 Paracord refers to the cord's original rated breaking strength under controlled testing conditions. It describes the strength of the cord itself not a working load rating for a finished product.

A Krawlergrip is more than just the cord. Each grab handle is a combination of quality paracord, internal construction, stitching, hardware, mounting points, and the way it is installed in your vehicle.

What 550 Paracord means

✔ Quality nylon cord construction
✔ Strong, durable material designed for outdoor use
✔ Excellent resistance to wear and everyday conditions
✔ A comfortable feel and flexible grip
✔ A proven material used across camping, outdoor, and 4WD applications

What 550 Paracord does not mean

550 Paracord does not mean that a finished grab handle should be used as a rated recovery point, lifting point, or safety restraint.

Krawlergrips are designed as an interior grab handle accessory to provide a comfortable grip and personalise your vehicle’s interior.

Always use your vehicle’s approved recovery points and safety equipment for recovery or load bearing applications.
