Hi‑vis tow rope – 5 m x 5 cm thick, 10‑tonne capacity (22,000 lbs) – GADLANE GL1067
This is a proper, heavy‑duty tow rope kit for when a mate gets well and truly stuck or an SUV needs a helping hand. The bright orange, UV‑coated webbing means you won’t be faffing about trying to find the strap in poor light, and the focus here is on reliability rather than bells and whistles. It’s a simple bit of kit that does the job — and does it well.
Durable construction and materials
The tow strap is woven from wear‑resistant polyester, giving a good balance of strength and a bit of give — handy for absorbing shock during a recovery. The ends are reinforced and the loop eyes have extra padding where shackles sit, so you’re not rubbing through the webbing. At 5 m long and roughly 5 cm wide, it’s rated to a safe working load of 10 tonnes (22,000 lbs) — more than enough for most 4x4s, SUVs and light trailers.
What’s in the kit and why it helps
- Two reinforced D‑ring shackles so attachments are secure and simple to fit — no improvising with dodgy hardware.
- Anti‑slip gloves to keep your hands clean and protected while handling the strap and shackles.
- A compact storage bag so the rope stays tidy in the boot and won’t tangle with the rest of your kit.
Together, these bits give you a complete recovery setup — no more running around borrowing shackles or gloves when time’s tight.
Practical use and common questions
When to use it? This strap is ideal for pulling a bogged vehicle out of soft ground, recovering a stranded trailer or helping a mate on a weekend off‑road run. It’s for towing and recovery — not a lifting sling or for crane use. Always attach to rated recovery points on both vehicles, use the shackles correctly and inspect the strap and fittings before every use. If anything looks worn or damaged, don’t take chances — replace it.

Quick tips: keep the rope as clean and dry as you can, coil it neatly into the provided bag after use, and don’t tie knots in the strap — knots massively reduce strength. The gloves aren’t just for grip; they stop greasy hands when you’re handling shackles and recovery points — proper handy in winter.
