Tow Link 1.2

Understanding the towing capacity and operational data of a tow truck is essential for ensuring safety and efficiency in towing operations. Jerr-Dan's Tow Link™ offers a comprehensive simulation of towing and recovery scenarios, equipping operators with valuable insights through its Rigging Utilization and Tow Performance calculators.

The Rigging Utilization calculator provides operators with a detailed assessment of the working load limit (WLL) being utilized, factoring in the reduced capacity of the wire rope. It displays both wire rope and block loads for the chosen scenario, enhancing situational awareness. Notably, this calculator includes an angle indicator with protractor functionality, which ensures precise input for angle measurements.

Meanwhile, the Tow Performance calculator assesses the maximum load that can be safely lifted while maintaining the designated steer axle weight percentage and overhang. This information is critical for optimizing operational efficiency and safety during recovery tasks.

Additionally, users can save all calculations, which facilitates the review of past events and aids in preparing for future recoveries and picks.
