Tow straps can be a lifesaver if you are ever in a situation where you do not need a rescue vehicle and rescue the stranded and road available, but a frayed belt or a faulty installation can cause irreparable damage to a vehicle or even a cause of death from injury. If you do not know what you do and how to follow adequate safety measures, you are better off waiting for a tow truck with a professional pilot. Although the cost may be more time and money do not take thisspending, the alternative could be devastating.
Of course you want to make sure you have the proper equipment, covered shortly, but first consider the coupling, carefully inspect both vehicles - a car that will make the hitch and the one that needs to be towed. If you see rust on any part of the chassis or frame, be very careful. If the connection snapped when towing, tow hooks, belts and car parts could end up flying through the airat high speeds.
When you are sure that the vehicles safely handle the rigors of the trailer, it's time to inspect the hitch:
First make sure that the belt is used the right material. The best tow straps should be reinforced with Cordura or similar material that resists wear made of high quality in the industry, and extremities. Stay away from natural fiber ropes, such as ropes, hooks and eyes which are already adequate.
Then check the cableSling for all points frayed or torn. Even a seemingly innocent place torn could cause problems.
Finally, make sure you have the right tools. If a car is not equipped with tow hooks, you can use the D-ring adapter to attach to a smooth. Never tow straps attach to the frame, a bumper or axle.
If you pay attention to the following precautions, you can create a vehicle out of trouble without damage to the vehicles to get even, or spectators.
