Tow rope dampers and shock absorbers - accessories for safe towing of vehicles
When your car gets stuck in a snowdrift or mud, a tow strap or cable comes to the rescue. But that's not all. Imagine a situation where, while towing a car, the tow cable or hook or clamp suddenly breaks (due to wear or exceeding the maximum permissible load). The end of the broken steel cable or rigging hook flies into the windshield of the towing car or in the direction where people are standing at that moment.
The consequences can be different. It's still good if the part doesn't fly in the direction of a person standing or moving nearby.
To avoid an accident, simply attach a rope damper to the tow strap. It absorbs the energy of the jerk, thereby preventing damage to the windshield, headlights, bumper, and hood from being hit by the end of the cable or hook, depending on what is installed at the end of the tow strap.
A rope damper is an indispensable item for auto professionals and owners of off-road vehicles, as well as off-road enthusiasts. The tow strap damper is a special 400 x 350 mm product made of durable polyester tape. The rope damper consists of four pockets, each of which is filled with dense loose material or small steel parts (bolts, nuts) to increase the weight of the product. The approximate weight of an effective rope damper is about 4 kg. The rope damper is attached to the tow strap using a Velcro system.
Shock absorber - why is it needed?
A shock absorbers is a small soft eyed sling in a protective sleeve, inside which there is a spring element. The device is connected simultaneously to the tow strap and to the car via rigging brackets. The device is compact and lightweight.
The shock absorber solves two problems at once:
1. It absorbs the energy generated by the vehicle's jerks during towing.
2. It provides momentum for a smooth, quick start of the vehicle during towing.
