What is the suitable length for a car tow rope?
1 Answers
Specialized tow ropes typically have a length of 4.5m, with forged anti-slip hooks on both ends for convenient use. Here are some precautions when using a tow rope: 1. Conspicuous color: Choose tow tools with eye-catching colors such as yellow, blue, fluorescent green, or fluorescent red. If the color is not conspicuous enough, hang colored cloth strips on the tow tool. At night, use tow ropes with reflective materials to enhance warning effects. The towed vehicle should turn on its hazard lights. If the lights cannot be turned on due to a dead battery, use conspicuous signs such as marking "Disabled Vehicle" at the rear to alert following vehicles to yield. During towing, both the front and rear vehicles should turn on their hazard warning lights and drive along the outermost lane. Additionally, a "Tow Vehicle" sign can be placed at the rear of the towed vehicle to remind other drivers to drive carefully. 2. Tow tools: Install the tow hooks on the same side of both vehicles. For example, if the disabled vehicle uses the left hook, the towing vehicle should also use the left hook to ensure straight-line driving on the road. Always double-check the installation of the tow hooks to ensure they are securely fastened, preventing the hooks from popping out and causing injury during use.
