This is for the PAIR of Tow Points.

The latest Roadsafe designed Ranger & Amarok tow points are supplied as a pair (LH & RH point) and has been designed for fitment on the Ford Ranger PY & Volkswagen Amarok NF with factory bumper and allocations for a variety of bull bar designs.

The latest technology is used with the development of Roadsafe 4WD tow points CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) & FEA (Fine Element Analysis) are both used in house during development. The WLL (Working Load Limit) rating which is applied at 5000kgs with a safety Factor of 2 for each recovery point is then validated independently at a NATA accredited
lab by means of deformation testing locally in Melbourne.

The Roadsafe Ranger/Amarok Tow Points when fitted correctly make for a convenient and strong tow point system to assist with recoveries. Always fit and use two tow point as a matched pair, with equalising bridle, to maximise safety during a recovery.

Soft shackle compatible!!

Features

• Powder coated yellow for high visibility
• Matched pair - specific to each side
• Allow for use of 4.75T bow shackles and a bridle strap
• Rated to a Working Weight Limit (WWL) of 5000 Kg per tow point

Kit contains:

• 2 x Tow Points
• All hardware for fitment

Please Note: These tow points are designed for the new Ranger/Amarok platform & will not suit the earlier models.

If a bullbar is fitted modifications might be required to the bar bracket, and/or additional hardware might be required such as longer bolts etc

Fitment Notes - These are used as a guide if your bullbar is not listed then we can't guarantee if the points will suit your vehicle & bullbar.

Next Gen Ranger

• Factory Bumper - Yes Please See notes

Note: If the vehicle is fitted with the factory bumper, the bumper & lower lip of the bumper will need to be trimmed accordingly. Where the opening in the bumper is for the factory tie down point, there is a symmetrically opposing mold detail. This can be used as a stencil & will need to be removed.

It is the Tow Points themselves as supplied that have been tested to the WLL advised. It is at the vehicle owners discretion for fitment, ensuring that the chassis is adequately designed, constructed and/or rated to suit this application.

It is recommended that Tow Points are fitted by a qualified mechanic with specialist 4WD knowledge, who has an understanding of your vehicle including weights carried, the style of Bull Bar, general usage etc. as in some circumstances these Tow Points may not be suitable for your vehicle.

These Tow Points have been designed and tested for straight line pull.  The Tow Points have not been tested for lifting purposes & should not be used for lifting, the forces applied differ between lifting and straight line pull type recoveries. Roadsafe Tow Points are FEA Tested during design and Destruction tested during development to establish Working Load Limits.

ALWAYS USE TOW POINTS AS A MATCHED PAIR WITH AN EQUALISING BRIDLE.  Failure to use tow points correctly can result in tow point fatigue and/or bending, and will void your warranty.  Never use a single point combined with a side load/pull.

If a recovery is to be performed, it is imperative both Tow Points are utilized, with the use of a bridle strap. This will share the load through the front of your vehicle, giving increased strength and safety margins, the use of a bridle strap will also keep all components tethered in the case of a failure, reducing the risk of serious injury or death.

Always INSPECT the Tow Points and shackles before each use. Do not use if there are visible signs of damage or wear (including cracking or elongation). Do not exceed the Working Load Limit (WLL) of the shackle or Tow Points. Always STAY A SAFE DISTANCE away from the recovery area – at least 1.5 times the length of the recovery strap. Incorrect use of recovery equipment can result in serious injury or death.

Always ensure that adequate PREPARATION for the recovery, to minimise the strain on either vehicle, has been undertaken i.e. Digging, Rock placement etc. If you do not understand how to use this equipment safely or are uncomfortable with your abilities in the use of recovery equipment, please complete a course that specialises in four wheel driving & 4WD vehicle recovery.
