Traction Aids Help Vehicles Get Unstuck

Traction Aids Help Vehicles Get Unstuck Most of us have been stuck in snow, mud or sand with our vehicle. Usually, we end up paying for a tow or using a lot of energy to shovel and push until we get free. U.S. Safety Solutions developed the skid-proof Save-A-Tow traction ramps, a unique product to handle this scenario. “Stronger than steel and engineered for cars, vans, pickups and sport utility vehicles, these mini traction ramps are a must for fishermen, hunters, outdoorsmen, campers, farmers, travelers, emergency personnel and anyone who drives in the snow, mud and sand,” says Deryck Wade, company owner. The lightweight 3-lb. hump-shaped ramps measure about 6 in. in width and 17 1/2 in. in length. Made of tough, high-density, rigid polymer, mini studs grip the tire, while alligator teeth on the underside grip the road, supporting more than 2,000 lbs. in the process. “Just slip the ramps under the wheels,” Wade says. “The car sends power to the track on the ramp, and you just drive out. The humped shape keeps them from spinning out from under the tire.” The Save-A-Tow traction ramps are made in the U.S. and sold throughout North America for about $99 a pair. An optional handy storage bag is available. They come in a standard yellow color, but can be specially ordered in a different color. “They save shoveling, pushing, overexertion, injury, time and dollars in towing costs or transmission damage.” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, U.S. Safety Solutions LLC, 875-A Island Drive, Suite 111, Alameda, Calif. 94502 (ph 510 356-6543; info@ussafetysolutions.com; www.ussafetysolutions.com).
