Off Road Driving Demands For Strong, Reliable Recovery Tow Points To Cope With A Huge Variety Of Recovery Situations. The
Purpose Of A Recovery Tow Point Is To Provide A Safe And Secure Point From Which To Recover A Stuck Vehicle. There Is Much
Confusion Amongst 4wd'ers Regarding Tow Points. Unfortunately, This Has Been Exacerbated Because Many Modern Vehicles
Are Fitted With Generic Tow Points. Generic Tow Points Are Not Vehicle Specific, And While Rated To 10,000lbs (4.5t) Or Similar,
Mounting Them Is Often Done By The Vehicle Owner, Who Is Not In A Position To Ascertain Whether The Mounting Location Can
Handle The Loads Exerted During A Recovery.
Depending Upon How And Where These Points Are Mounted, Generic Style Tow Points Can Be Unsuitable For Recovery
Situations, And Have Been Seen To Fail During Recovery Operations. Roadsafe Tow Points Undergo Considerable Research And
Development. The New Roadsafe Gu4 Point Was Designed Based On The Actual Vehicle, With Cad Drawings And 3d Printing
For Test Fitting Prototypes. This Allows For Any Bugs To Be Ironed Out Prior To Any Actual Manufactured Prototype For Vehicle
Fitment, Destruction Testing, And Finally On-Vehicle Testing In €Š¬˜real Life' Recovery Situations. Roadsafe 4wd Recommend
Fitting Roadsafe Tow Points 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).
An Equalising Bridle Is Designed To Evenly Distribute The Load On The Vehicle During The Recovery Operation When Connected
To The Two Recovery Tow Points. The Roadsafe Equalising Bridles Are Designed In 2.5m X 8000kg Minimum Breaking Strength,
With A Movable Protective Sleeve In The Middle And Black Reinforced Eyelet Protectors.
Most Roadsafe Tow Points Have Been Designed For Use With A 4.7t Bow Shackle. When Bolted To The Chassis, The Use
Of Roadsafe Tow Points, In Conjunction With An Equalising Bridle Attached With An Adequately Rated Bow Shackle, Creates
A Safer Vehicle Attachment System For Recovery Situations. In Order To Encourage Recommended Use, Roadsafe Have Kits
Available Including The Tow Points, Bridle And Shackles To Suit. Setting Up This System Is Straight Forward, Secure One Eye
Of The Equalising Bridle To One Of The Installed Roadsafe Tow Points, Pass The Other End Through The Eye On The End Of The
Snatch Strap Intended For Use During The Recovery Operation. Then, Hook The Second End Of The Equalising Bridle To The
Other Installed Roadsafe Tow Point. Line The Equalising Bridle Up With The Direction Of Pull Intended And Locate The Protective
Sleeve On The Equalising Bridle In The Snatch Strap Eye.
All Roadsafe Tow Points Have Been Destruction Tested During Development, To Ensure They Have The Ability To Cope With A
Variety Of Potential Recovery Situations.
