Keeper tow ropes are simply the best way to tow a stuck or disabled vehicle. Diamond braid ropes absorb towing jerks better than others. Zinc-plated, forged steel hooks are designed for towing and attach easily to the vehicle frame. Lighter than chains, and won't rust, rot or mildew. Stores easily in truck, toolbox or behind the seat. Maximum vehicle weight ranges from 6,800 lbs to 12,000 lbs and lengths range available in 13', 16" and 18'.

| Componet Capacity | The strength of each component of an assembly. e.g. Keeper P/N 04622, the ratchet begins to fail at 13,000 lbs., the hooks began to fail at 10,000 lbs., and the webbing breaks in excess of 12,000 lbs. |
| Rated Capacity | Also known as "assembly capacity" or "break strength" is the minimum load a complete assembly can withstand before failure in a laboratory pull test when the product is NEW. e.g. Keeper P/N 04622 the failure occurs in excess 0f 10,000 lbs. |
| Working Load Limited | The maximum weight of a load a tie-down should be subjected to during normal use. To assist the consumer in making the proper |
| tie-down choice for the job, Keeper, the Web Sling Association | |
| and the Federal D.O.T. require the Working Load Limit to be | |
| 1/3 of the Rated Capacity. e.g. in Keeper P/N 04622 the working load limit is 3,333 lbs. | |
| DON'T BE FOOLED! | |
| The Webbing Makes a Difference | Sewing Efficiency - As webbing is sewn it is weakened where it is pierced by the needle, reducing its strength by 10-20%. |
| D.O.T. and Web Sling Association require each tie-down manufacturer to certify the Rated Capacity (Break Strength) and Working Load Limit of each product by attaching a tag or stencil to the product. | |
| To obtain the full 10,000 lbs. capacity for a 2" x 27' tie-down, "2 Stripe" (12,000 lbs. break strength) webbing must be used. "1 Stripe" webbing would only yield a capacity of 8,000 - 9,000 lbs. because of the sewing efficiency. |
