GADLANE hi-vis tow rope – 5 m x 5 cm, 10-tonne capacity
If you spend any time off-road or just want peace of mind when helping a stuck vehicle, this is a proper bit of kit. The GADLANE tow rope is built to take real strain — rated to 10 tonnes (around 22,000 lb), 5 m long and 5 cm wide. Far tougher than a bit of string from the shed, it’s smartly designed so it won’t faff about when you need it most.
What’s in the kit
Everything you need arrives in one neat bundle: the rope itself, two reinforced D‑ring shackles for secure connection, a pair of anti‑slip gloves to protect your hands, and a compact storage bag so the rope doesn’t end up a muddy tangle in the boot. Handy — no last‑minute dash to the garage for bits and bobs.
Why this rope is useful
Made from wear‑resistant polyester and fitted with UV‑coated hi‑vis straps, the rope stays visible when light’s poor and copes with repeated use. Reinforced ends and extra padding at the loops cut down abrasion where it matters, so it lasts longer. Whether you’re pulling a bogged 4×4 from the mud, giving a mate a hand after a field mishap, or shifting a trailer a short distance, this rope will do the job without moaning.
- High visibility – the blue UV‑coated straps make the rope easy to spot in low light or rubbish weather.
- Durable construction – polyester fibres shrug off sand, mud and grit, and reinforced ends protect the usual weak points.
- Safe attachments – supplied D‑ring shackles are rated to match the rope’s heavy‑duty spec for secure connections.
- Comfort and grip – gloves cut the risk of slipping and stop rough fibres chewing your hands.
- Compact storage – the bag keeps everything tidy in the car so you won’t find muddy straps all over the boot.
Technical details and tips
Specs at a glance: 10 tonne rated capacity, 5 m length, 5 cm width, approx. 1.4 kg weight. Manufacturer codes on the pack include GL1963 and GL1067 — handy if you’re matching parts or checking spares.
Practical pointers: always give the rope a once‑over for cuts or fraying before use and replace it if the webbing is damaged. Attach only to rated recovery points on the vehicle — never hook onto the tow ball or any weak fixings. Avoid shock loading (sudden snatches); steady, controlled pulls are kinder to people and kit. Putting a recovery dampener or a heavy blanket over the rope during a pull is a sensible extra precaution. And if you’re in doubt about a recovery, get a pro in rather than risking kit failure.
Who this suits
Perfect for 4×4 enthusiasts, farmers, caravan and trailer owners, or anyone who wants a reliable emergency recovery option. It’s intended for recoveries and short pulls — not prolonged heavy towing on public roads — so keep that in mind when planning. Compact enough for the glovebox, roofbox or boot, it’s a useful bit of kit for weekends away and a proper bonus in slippery winter conditions.
In short, the GADLANE tow rope kit gives you confidence when recovery’s needed: bright, tough and ready to go with shackles, gloves and a storage bag included. Check the rated capacity against your vehicle and recovery plan, and it’ll serve you well for many seasons.
