Tow Ropes

Tow ropes or poles are not part of mandatory car equipment, but it’s generally a good idea to have them in the trunk just in case. If your car ever breaks down or gets stuck in deep snow, salvaging it will be much easier.

To tow a vehicle, you can use a tow rope or tow pole

Tažné lano

Tow rope 

When using a tow rope, the distance between the vehicles must be 2.5 to 6.0 m. The rope must be clearly marked, for example with a red cloth measuring at least 30 × 30 cm. Unlike a tow pole, a tow rope is compact and can be stored away in the trunk. You can find tow ropes made of artificial fibre or steel; both types are sufficiently strong and durable.

Tow pole

Must be longer than 1 m and shorter than 6 m. If you are planning to use a tow pole, keep in mind that if the towed vehicle doesn’t have a properly working braking system, it must be lighter than the pulling vehicle. The primary downside of the tow pole is its size–it’s not nearly as compact as a tow rope and takes up more space in the trunk.

 

   

How do I attach a tow rope or pole to my car?

Every car has a tow hitch at the front and rear; in some cases they are stored in the trunk, among the mandatory car equipment, and you have to mount them first. Tow ropes are equipped with a hook that you secure to the hitch. Repeat the process with the second vehicle. If your tow rope doesn’t have a hook, wrap the rope around the hitch and secure it with a pin shackle. When mounting a tow pole, first attach the centre part to the two end parts and secure it with a pin shackle. Then secure the end hooks to the hitches of both cars and rotate the pole until the hooks snap into position. 

Warning: Never attach a tow rope or pole to the axles or any parts of the vehicle frame!

Tips for towing a vehicle

  • The maximum towing speed is 50 km/h.
  • Towing on the motorway is prohibited in some countries; in others, you can only tow until the nearest highway exit.
  • Only a registered vehicle or a vehicle with a valid MOT test may be towed.
  • The towed vehicle must have properly working brakes and steering.
  • Mark the towed vehicle visibly with a warning triangle, ideally behind the rear window.
  • The towed vehicle should be braked and put in neutral.
  • Establish proper communication and signals with the other driver.
  • The more experienced driver should sit in the towed vehicle, because driving it is more difficult.
  • Usage of hazard lights may differ depending on the country; in some countries, the hazard lights on the towed vehicle must stay off.
