This multi-function Resistance and Load Calculator was designed to aid towing and recovery operators in calculating resistance and the load forces encountered during every recovery. It will assist towing operators in performing the calculations of surface and gradient resistance such as rolling, damage, mire and gradient. Our first in-app purchase also includes the following: - It will assist you in calculating anchorability and weight transfer automatically. - Allow you to upload and save information for each truck in your fleet by entering the static weight of each axle along with the wheel base and 3 distances of overhang. This information will be saved in the app so that you may select the truck you are operating and have the actual towing capacity and lift capacity at your finger tips. New features will be added for the full paid version.

Knowing and understanding your tow truck capacity and data is critical to safe and effective tow truck operation. Tow Link ™ from Jerr-Dan recreates the tow and recovery scenario to provide informative data to advise operators on how to better use their equipment with Rigging Utilization and Tow Performance calculators. The Rigging Utilization calculator informs the operator of the percentage used of the rigging working load limit, while accounting for the reduced working load limit of the wire rope. The wire rope load and block loads are also tabulated and displayed for the selected scenario. This calculator now features an angle indicator with protractor functionality to help ensure the accuracy for degree inputs. The Tow Performance calculator determines the heaviest load that can be lifted while maintaining the chosen steer axle remaining weight percentage and overhang. This data is critical to efficient and safe operations. All calculations can be saved to aid in reviewing events or setting up new recoveries and picks.
