Product Information
Full details
This Draper tow rope is designed for drivers needing to tow a vehicle safely and visibly. Its key benefit is the integrated high-visibility 'On Tow' sign and warning flag, ensuring other road users are aware of the towing operation. A potential caveat is its fixed length, which may not suit all towing scenarios. It features a robust polypropylene construction, a hooped end for easy attachment, and a zinc-plated safety hook for secure connection, adhering to BS AU 1875 standards.

FAQs
What is the maximum weight this tow rope can handle?
The Draper tow rope is rated for a maximum towing load of 4000kg.
What does 'BS AU 1875' compliance mean?
BS AU 1875 is a British Standard specifically for towing ropes and cords, ensuring the product meets certain safety and performance criteria.
How do I attach the rope to my vehicle?
The rope has a hooped end for one vehicle and a zinc-plated safety hook for the other. Consult your vehicle's manual for the correct towing points.
Is the 'On Tow' sign removable?
The 'On Tow' sign is integrated with the rope and flag for visibility. While it may be possible to detach it, it is designed to be used as a complete unit for maximum safety.
Can I use this rope for winching?
This rope is designed for towing, not winching. Using it for winching operations can exceed its intended load limits and cause failure.
How should I store the tow rope?
Store the rope in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and chemicals, to preserve the integrity of the polypropylene material.
What should I do if the rope gets dirty?
You can clean the rope with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before storing.
Troubleshooting
Rope appears frayed or damaged
Do not use the rope. Inspect for any signs of wear, cuts, or excessive stretching. If damaged, replace the rope immediately.
Hook is difficult to open or close
Clean the hook mechanism. If the issue persists, a light application of lubricating oil may help, but ensure no oil contaminates the rope itself.
'On Tow' sign is torn or faded
Replace the sign to maintain visibility and compliance with road safety guidelines.
Rope length feels insufficient for the towing situation
This rope has a fixed length of 3.7m. For longer distances, consider a rope with adjustable length or multiple ropes, ensuring compliance with local regulations.
