Heavy Duty Tow Straps Made in Europe

Our heavy duty tow straps are built for demanding towing and recovery situations. We use polyester webbing across our entire range for its superior performance. Unlike nylon, polyester is waterproof and retains 100% of its strength even in wet conditions—making it ideal for winter operations. It also provides low stretch for controlled pulling and significantly reduces the level of recoil if the strap should fail.

Whether you need a longer 30 ft tow strap for off-road recovery, or a 20 ft tow strap for tighter spaces on a busy construction site, our products are ideal to handle tough jobs safely and efficiently.

All Dawnerz products are manufactured in Europe, where we follow the stringent European standards outlined in EN 1492-1 for synthetic lifting slings. This manufacturing process ensures that our tow straps meet a level of quality and safety that is recognised as industry-leading.

While US regulations for similar products are not mandatory, our adherence to these European standards guarantees that our tow straps consistently exceed expectations for strength, performance, and most importantly safety.

What are the Benefits of Recovery Tow Straps

There are several key benefits to using a specialist recovery tow strap

  1. Polyester maintains 100% of its tensile strength when wet - Nylon loses 20-30% of its strength
  2. The lower stretch provides a much safer, more controlled tow or recovery
  3. After vehicle extraction, you can use the same strap to tow your vehicle
  4. The wider 2 and 4 ply webbing distributes the load more evenly, reducing the risk of strap failure 

Choose The Right Heavy Duty Tow Strap

For both towing and recovery, always use a tow strap with a minimum breaking strength (MBS) of three times the vehicle’s gross weight (GVW). This ensures the strap can handle the forces involved in both towing and recovering a vehicle from difficult conditions, such as mud, sand, or rough terrain.

Heavy duty towing straps are ideal for this purpose, as heavy-duty vehicles are far more likely to get stuck. Using a strap with an MBS of 3x GVW means you're always prepared for any situation, ensuring both safety and reliability in all towing and recovery operations.

FAQs - Understand the Differences

Understanding the differences between each type of strap is essential for both a successful recovery, and also the safety of the people involved. No matter how good the strap is, it wont perform if used in the wrong environment or with the wrong technique.

How strong should a towing strap be?

It needs to be strong enough to pull the vehicle that's stuck or immobilized. Simple way to calculate the straps strength, take the stuck vehicle, multiply its weight by a minimum of 3 x - that's the minimum break strength required. If you are in bad situations, regularly stuck in deep mud or sand, multiply the GVW x 5 for added security and safety
What is better, a tow strap or a recovery strap?

There is actually no better choice. Each type of strap or recovery rope has their own unique benefits, as well as their limitations. In our professional opinion, tow straps are great for smaller, lighter vehicles, recovery straps serve a purpose, but can lose significant strength when wet. And as we know, most people get stuck in winter not the middle of summer! Recovery tow straps cover all bases, towing, recovery, and maintain strength. But use them like a snatch or kinetic strap, are they will likely fail 
Are tow straps stronger than chains?

Well they can be. Of course if you buy a low strength, cheap tow strap, then likely not. If you buy a high quality, well manufactured tow or recovery strap, with certified webbing, then yes, they can be stronger than chains, as well as lighter, and safer to use
Do I Need Cordura or Reinforced Eyes?

Here's the thing, anyone who is using any type of recovery strap or rope correctly and safely, should always be using a shackle, whether that's steel or synthetic. The only reason not to use a shackle is if the vehicle or vehicles involved, have a connection / anchor point, which is round, smooth, and suitable for the eye of a strap or rope. If you do this, a cordura wrapped eye provides little to no use or benefit.

Cordura is mainly to prevent abrasion, and steel or soft shackles will not create an abrasive surface to a well constructed recovery strap
What Is the Safest Option for Towing and Recovery?

For safe and controlled towing and recovery operations, polyester recovery tow straps and Plasma/HMPE options are the safest choice, yet they have a significant price difference,
