Advantages

The Forankra 42T 6 m towing cable provides a high load rating and a fixed 6-metre length that simplifies planning and positioning during recovery. Constructed for heavy-duty service, it delivers consistent strength under load and reduces the need for improvised attachments or untested equipment. The clear 42-tonne rating helps operators match the cable to vehicle weight and towing demands.

Suitable for

• Commercial truck and trailer towing and recovery
• Roadside assistance and emergency towing
• Fleet maintenance and vehicle transport operations
• Situations that require a fixed-length, high-capacity tow line

When it may not be suitable

This towing cable is not intended for lifting, hoisting or overhead suspension of loads; it is designed solely for towing and recovery in a horizontal plane. It may be inappropriate for light vehicles where the 42-tonne rating and heavy construction are excessive or where a more flexible or longer/shorter tow strap is required.

Key specifications

• Rated towing capacity: 42 tonnes
• Length: 6 metres (fixed)
• Type: heavy-duty towing cable / tow line
• Intended use: vehicle towing and recovery for commercial vehicles

How to use

Attach the cable to suitable and rated towing points on both vehicles, ensuring connection to manufacturer-approved tow eyes or hitch points. Confirm that all fittings and anchor points are compatible and in good condition before applying load. Maintain straight alignment as much as possible during towing and avoid sharp angles or sudden jerks. Drive slowly and steadily during recovery operations, and use additional safety measures such as braking assistance or spotters where needed. After use, inspect the cable for any signs of wear, deformation or damage and store it dry and protected from corrosive environments.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 42-tonne rated capacity matches or exceeds the vehicles you intend to tow
• Confirm that a fixed 6-metre length is appropriate for your towing scenarios and vehicle spacing
• Verify compatibility with your vehicle's towing points and attachments
• Consider storage, inspection and maintenance requirements for heavy-duty towing equipment
