Why You Need It

We have all experienced towing and being towed at some point in our lives. Whether it's a dead battery, a flat tyre, or a breakdown on the road, there comes a time when we need to tow a vehicle. Unfortunately, not all towing experiences are smooth and trouble-free. We have probably all had a tow rope snap on us, leaving us stranded and in need of a new tow rope. And we all have had that nervous feeling that if the towing vehicle stops suddenly, the towed vehicle will plough into it, causing damage to both vehicles and putting the drivers and passengers at risk.

These risks and concerns can be greatly reduced by using the right equipment for towing. A rigid towing bar is a highly recommended option for towing, as it provides stability, reduces stress on both vehicles, allows for easier manoeuvring, and minimizes damage to both vehicles.

There are other advantages of using a rigid towing bar rather than a tow rope or tow chain.

Stability: Provides a stable connection between the towing and towed vehicles, reducing the risk of detachment during transit.

Reduced stress on vehicles: Distributes the weight of the towed vehicle evenly, reducing stress on both vehicles compared to a tow rope or chain. There are no sudden lunges as you have with a tow rope when the towing car pulls off from a stop street.

Easier maneuvering: Makes it easier to maneuver the towed vehicle, especially in tight spaces or rough terrain.

Minimal damage: Provides a smooth and controlled towing experience, reducing the risk of damage to either vehicle compared to a tow rope or chain.

Eliminates risk of collision: Eliminates the risk of the towed vehicle running into the back of the towing vehicle, as the connection is always secure and there is no slack in the connection.

Safe and secure: Provides a safe and secure towing experience, reducing the risk of damage to either vehicle and putting drivers and passengers at ease.

Power Assisted Braking:  many modern vehicles have electronic power assisted brakes that require the engine to be running in order for them to function. In such cases, towing a dead vehicle using a tow rope or chain is not possible as the brakes would not be able to stop the vehicle in an emergency. In these scenarios, a rigid towing bar is the only option for towing the vehicle safely.

Towing Bar

Our suggested product is the X-Appeal 2-Ton towing bar. This towing bar is extremely strong, yet small enough to fit in your boot. The towing bar breaks into three pieces for easier storage, and at each end there is a hook. To use this towing bar, the towing vehicle and the stranded vehicle need to have tow hooks, which almost every car nowadays has. It is therefore a much more universal product than towing bars which can only fit on a towball, which can only be used by towing vehicles with fitted towbars.
