Everyone has been through some sticky car situation where the vehicle got stuck somewhere, and you have no idea how to tow it. It is important not to despair and know how to tow correctly for these moments.
Throughout this text, we’ll teach you how to tow a vehicle intelligently with special tow truck and slide car (รถยกรถสไลด์เฉพาะกิจ which is the term in Thai), without requiring a great deal of effort, and without running the risk of causing damage to it. It is possible to tow it alone with the help of a rope and a tree or pole. Know-how.
Towing Alone
Imagine the following scenario: your car got stuck in mud or even a hole, and you are alone. At first, we started to think that the car would be stuck forever, but that’s not quite the case. All you need is goodwill, a rope, and a tree or pole to help you.
It’s about physics, making a support system that will more than double your strength. This support system that we are going to teach is useful for several situations, for example, when there is no other vehicle to help with the task and even when pushing the car does not work.
The tip is to always have a rope in your car; after all, we don’t know when a jam can happen.
Step-by-Step How To Tow A Vehicle
You will need:
A rope
a tree or a pole
Step 1
Start by tying the rope to your vehicle using a loop guide knot. Do not tie the rope directly to the bumper; use the tow handle to get better.
Step 2
Then loop the rope about 4 feet from the car, using a figure-eight knot.
Step 3
Then wrap the long end of the rope around the loop and create a second loop about 1.2 in length.
Step 4
Next, you’ll need to loop the longer end of the rope around a tree or pole.
Step 5
Continue passing the long end through the last loop that was created.
Step 6
From that point, you will start pulling the vehicle to tow it. Then take hold of the loose end of the string and start pulling with a continuous motion. The grip must be firm to make more force lean back while pulling.
Once the car starts moving, it will be much easier to keep it moving out of the hole or the mud.
