380,000 lb Heavy Duty Towing Strap - 30 ft | Mining & Construction

Selecting the appropriate tow strap is crucial for ensuring safe and efficient recovery of heavy-duty vehicles. Follow this guide to find the perfect strap for your needs:

Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS)
Choose a tow strap with a Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) that exceeds the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of the vehicle you're towing.

Towing vs. Recovery

• For simple towing on flat surfaces, an MBS of at least twice the GVW is generally adequate.
• For recovery situations, such as winching or pulling uphill, opt for a strap with an MBS of three times the GVW to handle additional forces.
• Factors such as rough terrain, mud depth, and flat tires can increase the pulling force needed. Always evaluate the specific conditions before using the strap.

Choose the Right Length

• 20ft for On-Road: A 20ft strap is ideal for towing on paved surfaces, offering excellent control and maneuverability.
• 30ft for Off-Road: A 30ft strap provides added reach for off-road recovery, allowing for winching at angles and navigating tight spaces more effectively.

Important Reminder: Safety should always be a priority. Inspect your tow strap for any signs of damage before use, and consult the owner’s manuals of both vehicles involved for proper towing procedures.

Safety is always the top priority when using tow straps, especially with heavy duty vehicles.

Here are some essential safety points to remember:

• Only use designated towing points on both vehicles. Never attach the strap to bumpers, axles, or suspension components.
• Ensure a clear path for recovery with no obstacles between the vehicles.
• Nobody should be between the vehicles or near the tow strap while under tension.
• Maintain clear communication with the driver of the towing vehicle.
• Use slow and steady pulls to avoid jerks or sudden strain on the strap.
• If the vehicle doesn't come free easily, stop and re-evaluate the situation. Don't force it.

By following these guidelines, you can choose the right tow strap for your heavy-duty recovery needs and prioritize safety during the process.
