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.
