Vehicle Towing Incident
Causes:
Failure to use the correct towing equipment Using
chains-- not advised for heavy trucks.
The hook was hooked back onto its own chain and
slipped off - released.
Injuries: NONE but look how close the drivers head is to
the broken windscreen and damaged cab!! A fatality
occurred in SPDC-Nigeria in similar circumstances.

Graded
Road
Never use chains to tow vehicles unless correctly secured to
secured points on the vehicles. NEVER HOOK THE
CHAIN BACK ON ITSELF.
Assess, and use suitable tow equipment for recovery of heavy
vehicles - solid tow bars preferred, use heavy winch lines to reach
if ground is too soft.
Towing equipment is rated according to the maximum weight of
the towed vehicle that can be towed.

To determine what type of tow equipment you need,
you must know the loaded weight of the vehicle you
are going to tow !
Use correct towing equipment that is strong enough to overcome
the initial resistance and tow the weight of the stuck vehicle.
A ½ inch chain has a SWL of approx 4 tonnes only- and
breaking point of 12 tonnes. Not strong enough for large trucks!!especially loaded!
Chains do not absorb abrupt tension or shock loading and can
snap.

Towing
Learning points:
For heavy trucks/tankers use either a solid tow bar, or if a
longer distance is required to avoid soft ground, use a winch line
truck – NOT chains.
If towing out a light vehicle use approved tow belts or chains
which are securely fixed-never place the hook back on the chain.
If you are unsure of how to carry out the tow safely-DO
NOT ATTEMPT IT- get competent help.
When a tow is in progress ensure everybody is well clear of the
area-if not -STOP the WORK.
