Tow straps are made of thick nylon with a large metal hook on each end to attach to a vehicle's frame for extra towing lift power. They are not intended for recovery purposes. Straps are used with tow chains to ensure that a vehicle does not loosen from the tow truck as it is moving.

Tow (or winch) cables wind out to attach to vehicles needing to be towed and then wind up to pull them to safety. These cables may also be used to secure loads to trailers from the cab of the truck.

Recovery straps have looped, padded ends that attach to a stranded vehicle's front-end D-ring and a receiver ring on the back of a towing vehicle to pull stranded vehicles to safety. These straps stretch between the two vehicles creating movement when no further slack exists.

These heavy-duty chains lift and pull stranded vehicles from off-road or low-level inclines onto flat-bed tow trucks. Also used for overhead lifting, chains are made in varying strengths accommodate usage.

Tow and recovery hooks attach to tow ropes or straps to keep a towed vehicle from swaying while moving. They also assist with removing stranded vehicles from mud or water.

Used for vertical lifting, chain slings help hoist vehicles from ditches and steep inclines. Their durable construction gives added strength when removing vehicles with towing chains and rigging equipment.
