Tow strap are commonly used tools for vehicle rescue, and proper use can ensure safe and efficient towing. The following is a detailed usage method:
Check the towr strap
Confirm that there are no signs of damage, aging, or breakage, and that the stitching is secure.
Choose appropriate load-bearing capacity: Ordinary sedans should weigh at least 2 tons, while SUVs/off-road vehicles are recommended to weigh 3-5 tons.
Connecting vehicles
Tractor: Fix the tow strap hook onto the shackle/soft shackle.
Trailed: Also fixed to the shackle/soft shackle, prohibited from tying to the bumper, suspension, or axle.
Maintain a safe distance
The recommended length of the tow strap is 4-6 meters. If it is too short, it may cause sudden braking and collision, and if it is too long, it is difficult to control the direction.
A warning sign should be hung in the middle of the trailer to alert other vehicles.
Trailer driving
The front car should start and brake slowly and steadily, avoiding jerking or sudden stopping.
Keep the tow strap straight but not overly tight to reduce impact.
Shift the rear car to neutral and release the handbrake.
The driver of the rear car needs to control the steering wheel and brakes to follow the route of the front car.
End trailer
After coming to a complete stop, pull the handbrake and then remove the tow strap to prevent the vehicle from sliding.
