Suitable for

• Towing and recovery of vans and minibuses with gross vehicle weight suitable for a 7 t rated tow cable
• Roadside assistance and breakdown recovery in urban and intercity environments
• Fleet maintenance operations where short-distance vehicle repositioning is required
• Temporary towing between repair shops, depots and short transport legs

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for short-distance towing and recovery of vehicles within the 7 t rated capacity; it is not designed for heavy-duty industrial towing or long-distance tows where a rigid tow bar or professional towing trailer is required. It should not be used if the towing connection on either vehicle is not rated for the anticipated load or is damaged.

Key specifications

• Length: 4 metres
• Rated towing capacity: 7 tonnes
• Intended vehicle type: vans and small buses
• Primary use: short-distance towing and vehicle recovery

How to use

Attach the cable to secure, manufacturer-recommended towing points on both vehicles, ensuring hooks or connectors are fully engaged and latched. Keep the cable taut during initial movement and accelerate gently to avoid shock loads. Maintain low speeds and use hazard signals and appropriate safety measures while towing. After use, inspect the cable for wear or damage, clean any contaminants and store it coiled in a dry place to preserve its condition.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the cable’s 7 t rated capacity is suitable for your vehicle’s towing requirements and that both vehicles’ towing points are rated accordingly
• Verify a 4 m length meets your operational needs for safe distance and control during towing
• Check compatibility with common towing attachments and hooks used on your fleet or service vehicles

Usage recommendations

Use this tow cable only for short-distance recovery or repositioning where the 7 t rating and 4 m length are appropriate. Always secure connections to approved towing points, follow vehicle manufacturer towing instructions, and perform a visual inspection of the cable before each use to ensure safe operation.
