Draper Rigid Towing Brace, 1840mm, 2000kg

Tow a broken-down or non-starting vehicle safely and securely with the Draper TT105 Rigid Towing Brace. Purpose-built for recovery situations, the TT105 replaces the inherent risks of tow ropes with a rigid, controlled connection between vehicles — giving the driver of the towed vehicle reliable braking response, predictable steering, and the confidence that comes from a certified, professionally engineered towing solution.

Rigid Three-Section Bar for Safe, Controlled Towing Unlike flexible tow ropes or straps, the TT105's rigid three-section bar maintains a fixed distance between the towing and towed vehicles at all times. This eliminates the snatching, slack, and unpredictable movement associated with rope towing — reducing stress on both vehicles and giving the driver being towed far greater control over braking and direction. The three-section design allows for straightforward deployment and compact storage when not in use.

Multi-Position Push Locking System The TT105 features a secure multi-position push locking system, allowing the bar to be adjusted to suit the distance between the two vehicles' tow points. The strong vehicle attachment hooks are secured via a sliding multi-position locking system using a pin and R-clip, itself secured by a chain — ensuring the connection remains locked and cannot accidentally disengage during towing. This layered locking approach is a key safety feature when towing at road speeds.

2000kg Towing Capacity With a maximum towing capacity of 2000kg — equivalent to 2 tonnes — the TT105 is capable of recovering the vast majority of everyday passenger cars, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles. Always verify the weight of the vehicle being towed before use to ensure it falls within the rated capacity.

1840mm Length Between Hooks The 1840mm span between attachment hooks provides a safe working distance between the two vehicles, giving the towed driver sufficient reaction time and reducing the risk of a collision if emergency braking is required.

Manufactured to TUV/GS Standards The TT105 is manufactured to TUV/GS standards — one of the most rigorous and respected independent safety certifications in Europe. This certification provides assurance that the towing brace has been independently tested and verified to meet defined safety and quality benchmarks, giving users confidence in the product's structural integrity and reliability.

Complete Recovery Kit The TT105 is supplied as a complete, road-legal recovery package. Included in the box is a warning flag, an 'ON TOW' sign — a legal requirement when towing a vehicle on UK roads — and a storage bag to keep everything organised and protected between uses.

What is a rigid towing brace used for? A rigid towing brace is used to tow a broken-down, non-starting, or otherwise immobile vehicle using another vehicle. Unlike a tow rope, a rigid bar maintains a fixed distance between the two vehicles, giving the driver of the towed vehicle better braking control and steering response — making it a significantly safer recovery method.

What is the maximum towing capacity of the Draper TT105? The TT105 has a maximum towing capacity of 2000kg — equivalent to 2 tonnes — making it suitable for recovering most standard passenger cars, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles. Always confirm the weight of the vehicle being towed does not exceed this rating before use.

What does TUV/GS certified mean? TUV/GS is an independent European safety certification issued by TÜV, one of Germany's leading technical inspection bodies. Products certified to TUV/GS standards have been independently tested and verified to meet defined safety and quality requirements — providing users with confidence in the product's structural integrity and suitability for its intended purpose.

Is an 'ON TOW' sign a legal requirement in the UK? Yes. When towing a vehicle on a public road in the UK, an 'ON TOW' sign must be displayed on the rear of the towed vehicle to warn other road users. The TT105 is supplied with an 'ON TOW' sign as part of the package, ensuring you are road-legal from the moment you deploy it.

What is the difference between a rigid towing brace and a tow rope? A tow rope is flexible, which means it can go slack and then snatch tight — making it difficult for the towed driver to anticipate braking and maintain a safe distance. A rigid towing brace maintains a constant, fixed distance between vehicles, providing the towed driver with more predictable and responsive control. For this reason, rigid towing braces are widely considered the safer option for road recovery.

How does the locking system on the TT105 work? The TT105 uses a multi-position push locking system with sliding attachment hooks. Each hook is secured in position using a pin and R-clip, which is itself retained by a chain to prevent loss. This multi-stage locking mechanism ensures the hooks cannot shift or disengage accidentally during towing.

Does the Draper TT105 come with storage? Yes. The TT105 is supplied with a dedicated storage bag, keeping the towing brace, warning flag, and 'ON TOW' sign neatly together and protected — ready for immediate use in a roadside emergency.
