Navara D40 Recovery Tow Point (Pair)

• Robust tow points are deemed necessary to deal with multiple recovery conditions for off-road driving. The tow point aims to recover a trapped vehicle by offering secure points for the vehicle to recover.
• There is a lot of risk in recovery manoeuvres due to the enormous tension in the recovery equipment. If the recovery point rips off, it becomes a hefty projectile that can easily cause fatal injury to drivers behind the windscreen or anybody standing nearby.
• Generic, non vehicle-specific tow points are also very risky for a few dollars saved. Although the point themselves can be rated to 10,000lbs (4.5t) or similar, they may be mounted carelessly due to their generic nature. The mounting location (often chosen by the end user) may not be rated to such loads. Therefore, while the tow point may not fail, the part of the car it is connected to, can.
• Roadsafe tow points are suggested because; their design is based on the actual vehicle, CAD drawings and 3D printing for the prototypes. Moreover, all the bugs are removed before manufacturing the prototype for fitment of the vehicle, testing of the destruction as well as vehicle testing in real recovery situations.
• Roadsafe 4WD recommend fitting Roadsafe Tow Pionts as a matched pair, bolted to the Chassis, and used in conjunction with each other in all recovery situations with use of an Equalising Strap (Bridle).
• The aim of an Equalising Bridle during a recovery operation is to distribute the load in a balanced way on the vehicle, by creating its connection to two recovery tow points.
• The design of The Roadsafe Equalising Bridles comprises a breaking capacity of 2.5m x 8000kg, along with a movable protected sleeve in the middle and black reinforced eyelet protectors.
• Made with based e-coat for corrosion resistance with durable yellow powder coat finish.
• Rated Heavy Duty tow point manufactured from 350MPA carbon steel
• Most Roadsafe Tow Points are designed in such a way where they are suitable for the use with a 4.7t bow shackle and creates a harmless setup of vehicle attachment for the recovery situations. It does so by bolting into the chassis, as well as the attachment of an Equalising Bridle to the adequately rated Bow shackle.
• Roadsafe provides its kits consisting of the equalising bridle, tow points, and shackles to promote its use. Also, it offers a user-friendly installation manual guide which includes the following steps:
  • Create a link between one eye of the equalising bridles to one of the installed Roadsafe tow points.
  • Pass the other end through the eye on the end of the snatch strap intended for the use during the recovery operation.
  • Then, hook the second end of the Equalising bridle to the other installed Roadsafe tow points.
  • Line up the equalizing bridle in the course of the pull
  • Finally, locate the protective sleeve on the equalizing bridle in the snatch strap eye.
• Roadsafe Tow Points has been made to pass through the destruction tests, to ensure they have the ability to manage through multiple recovery situations.

RECOVERY OF STUCK VEHICLES CAN BE DANGEROUS. ALWAYS INSPECT THE TOW POINTS AND SHACKLES BEFORE EACH USE. DO NOT USE IF THERE ARE VISIBLE SIGNS OF DAMAGE OR WEAR (INCLUDING CRACKING OR ELONGATION). DO NOT EXCEED THE WORKING LOAD LIMIT OF THE SHACKLE OR TOW POINTS. ALWAYS STAY A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE RECOVERY AREA - AT LEAST 1.5 TIMES THE LENGTH OF THE RECOVERY STRAP. INCORRECT USE OF RECOVERY EQUIPMENT CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT ADEQUATE PREPARATION FOR THE RECOVERY, TO MINIMISE THE STRAIN ON EITHER VEHICLE, HAS BEEN UNDERTAKEN I.E., DIGGING ETC. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE THIS EQUIPMENT SAFELY OR ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH YOUR ABILITIES IN THE USE OF RECOVERY EQUIPMENT, PLEASE COMPLETE A COURSE THAT SPECIALISES IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVING AND 4WD RECOVERY.
