GADLANE heavy-duty 5m tow rope – dependable recovery kit for cars and 4x4s
Need something that gets you out of a sticky spot without faffing about? This GADLANE tow rope kit is built to be simple, strong and straightforward to use. It’s a 5 metre recovery strap made from high-strength polyester and rated to pull up to 8 tonne — plenty for most cars, vans, small trucks, boats and 4x4s. The eyes are reinforced where it matters to cut down on wear, and a fluorescent reflective strip helps you spot it at the roadside when visibility’s poor.
What’s included
The kit arrives ready to go: a 5 m tow strap, two U-shaped carbon steel safety hooks (screw-pin type), a pair of gloves and a tough storage bag. The hooks are chunky and easy to secure, the gloves stop your hands getting filthy or pinched, and the bag keeps everything from rolling around in the boot.
Built for real situations
Whether it’s a stuck motor after heavy rain, a van that refuses to start, or shifting a boat a short distance, this strap is made for everyday recovery jobs. The reflective strip is a small but handy detail for evening or winter breakdowns — a proper bonus in low light. It won’t work miracles on every job, but it removes a lot of the worry when someone needs a tow.
- Material and strength – high-strength polyester webbing, rated 8 tonne working load, with reinforced stitching at the eyes for abrasion resistance.
- Length – 5 m gives enough reach for a safe connection without being awkward to store.
- Hooks – two screw-pin U-shaped carbon steel hooks with safety latch for a secure link between vehicles.
- Visibility – fluorescent reflective strip along the strap to improve visibility at night or in bad weather.
- Storage and safety – includes gloves and a durable storage bag to keep the kit tidy and protected.
Practical notes and tips
A couple of sensible reminders: always attach to rated recovery or towing points on both vehicles — never to suspension parts or bumpers that aren’t designed for towing. This strap is for towing/recovery only and not for lifting. Give the strap, eyes and hooks a quick once-over before each use; if anything’s frayed, cut or damaged, replace it.
If you’re unsure about the vehicle’s anchor points or the required rating, check the vehicle handbook or get advice from a recovery professional.
People often ask if it’ll work with a completely dead vehicle — yes, it’ll tow most cars and vans so long as the towed vehicle is within the 8 tonne rating and the connection points are secure. For heavier or unusual vehicles, opt for a higher-rated recovery solution.
