Car Tow Rope 4m (5 tonne) with Hooks

A bright 4 metre tow rope with hooks for roadside recovery
£8.99 + £6.55 delivery
Delivery is charged per product because each item ships directly from its supplier, so items can arrive separately. Estimated delivery 5-12 working days. Tracked.

A fluorescent yellow 4 metre tow cable with hooks at each end, listed with a 5 tonne rating. It belongs in the boot of a car for a breakdown or a vehicle stuck in snow or mud, where a second vehicle can pull it to safe ground.

The rating is the seller's claim and the strap should be inspected before every use. Use it on an approved towing point only, and follow the Highway Code.

Key features

  • 4 metre length
  • Listed with 5 tonne rating
  • Hooks at both ends
  • Fluorescent yellow for visibility
  • Packs flat into the boot
  • Useful for snow and mud recovery

How to use it

You hook it to the proper towing points on two vehicles so one can pull the other to safe ground.

  1. Inspect the cable and hooks for fraying, cuts or damage, and do not use it if any is found.
  2. Find the approved towing points in each vehicle's handbook.
  3. Fit a hook to each towing point and check it is fully seated.
  4. Have a driver in the towed vehicle, with hazard lights on, and keep everyone away from the cable.
  5. Take up the slack slowly, then pull away gently, without snatching.
  6. Stop at safe ground, unhook and pack the cable away.
Tips
  • Agree hand signals or a phone call between drivers before you start.
  • Keep it in the boot with a high-visibility jacket.
Safety and limits
  • Use only on proper towing points.
  • The 5 tonne rating is the listing's claim, so keep the load well inside it.
  • Keep people well clear of the cable line, and follow the Highway Code.
Please note
  • Use only on proper towing points.
  • Rating is the seller's claim.
  • Check the strap for fraying before use.
