FAQs
Can I use this strap to lift heavy machinery?
No. This product is strictly for towing purposes only and must not be used for lifting objects.
Is 4 metres enough for safe towing?
4 metres is a standard length that provides a safe distance between vehicles while maintaining control during towing.
How do I store the tow strap?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the strength of the polyester material.
Can I use this on a heavy-duty motorhome?
The strap is rated for 5 tons. Please check your motorhome's gross vehicle weight before use to ensure it stays within safety limits.
Does the color fade over time?
While the fluorescent green is durable, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading; always store it away when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Visible fraying on the strap edges
Immediately retire the strap from service as fraying significantly reduces the breaking load capacity.
Strap is stiff or covered in road debris
Wash the strap in warm, soapy water and air dry thoroughly in a shaded area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, securely attach the strap hooks or loops to the recovery points of the towing and towed vehicles, ensuring no twists are present in the material. Regularly inspect the strap for any signs of fraying, cuts, or chemical damage before each use. To maintain the strap, clean it with mild soap and water if it becomes muddy or greasy, and ensure it is completely dry before storing it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the polyester fibers.
