Tow Bar IWH A570377 2.5 Tonnes 1.8 m with Gloves and Storage Bag

IWH Tow Bar A570377 is a fixed-length towing bar 1.8 m long designed for towing up to 2.5 tonnes. Supplied complete with protective gloves and a storage bag, the tow bar provides a rigid connection between towing vehicle and trailer or load within its rated capacity. The product is intended for occasional towing, workshop operations and vehicle recovery or maintenance tasks where a durable, portable tow link is needed.

Advantages

The tow bar is constructed to provide a stable and secure connection at a fixed towing distance, reducing lateral movement compared with improvised links. Its 1.8 m length offers better stand-off from the towing vehicle, improving access around vehicle fixtures during workshop use. Inclusion of protective gloves and a storage bag supports safe handling and compact storage between uses. The rated 2.5 tonne capacity is suitable for many light commercial and passenger vehicle towing tasks when used within the specified limits.

How to use

Inspect the tow bar, gloves and bag before use to ensure no visible damage and that all components are clean and functioning. Attach the tow bar to the towing vehicle and to the trailer or load according to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended coupling points and secure fastening methods. Verify that the load does not exceed the 2.5 tonne rating and that weight distribution and braking systems meet legal and safety requirements. Wear the supplied gloves during handling to protect hands from sharp edges and pinch points. After towing, clean and dry the tow bar, store it in the supplied bag and keep it in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use the tow bar only within its rated capacity and follow vehicle manufacturer guidance for attachment points and towing procedures. Regularly inspect the tow bar for wear, deformation or corrosion; do not use if any structural damage is present. Ensure all safety chains, lighting and braking systems required by local regulations are connected and functional before towing.
