What is a tow rope made of?

Tow ropes are durable, heavy-duty lengths of rope designed for towing, recovery, and possibly other uses. A tow rope must be a true rope - it is a twisted and braided strand made of natural or synthetic fibers, with both ends terminated either with braided loops, hooks, shackles, or vehicle attachments.

Tow ropes offer a versatile tool for a variety of towing applications, and if you live in an area with heavy snow, you won't want to be without one. They can be used for general purpose towing and are especially effective for recovering stranded or submerged vehicles. Tow ropes are also a popular choice for water sports and boat towing, as well as aircraft use and other industrial applications.
