Where to Buy a Tow Rope?
1 Answers
Tow ropes can be purchased at automotive accessory stores. When selecting a tow rope, choose one with bright colors and strong towing capacity. The tow rope must be connected to the towing eye. Unlike regular ropes, a tow rope is specifically designed for towing vehicles in case of breakdowns. How to Choose a Tow Rope: Opt for a tow rope with bright and vivid colors, as they are more visible at night, making it easier for rescuers to identify and assist. The material of the tow rope should be heavy-duty nylon, Oxford webbing, or steel wire. Towing bars are generally used for urban road rescues, as rigid connections ensure a fixed distance between the front and rear vehicles, preventing rear-end collisions. How to Use a Tow Rope: After installing the tow rope, regardless of the weight of the vehicle being towed, always secure a "weighted object" on the tow rope. This prevents the tow rope from flying due to inertia and injuring people around the vehicle if the rope or towing eye breaks. A "tow flag" can be made by wrapping thick clothing around a few bottles of water. Additionally, people should not stand in the direction of the tow line but to the side and outside the length and diameter of the tow rope.
