Overview
The Torque Fitness TANK™ Strap/Harness Tow Kit is a versatile accessory package designed to unlock the full potential of the TANK M4 and TANK MX push sleds. By adding a harness and specialized V-strap, this kit allows athletes to transition from pushing the sled to performing explosive sprints, backward runs, standing rows, and lateral sidesteps. It is an essential upgrade for those looking to turn their TANK into a comprehensive total-body conditioning and speed-development tool.

Performance Benefits
Explosive Speed Development: The padded waist harness allows for a natural running gait while pulling the TANK's magnetic resistance, making it one of the most effective tools for developing "first-step" quickness and acceleration.
Functional Strength: The V-strap enables standing rows and torso rotations, targeting the back, shoulders, and core in ways that standard push handles cannot.
Injury Prevention: Backward runs and drags are cornerstone exercises for knee health and eccentric quad strengthening. The harness allows for a hands-free, upright posture during these movements.
Conditioning Variety: Quickly switch between forward sprints, backward drags, and lateral walks to keep metabolic conditioning sessions dynamic and engaging.
Maintenance and Care
Harness Hygiene: If the harness becomes saturated with sweat, hand-wash it with a mild detergent and allow it to air dry completely before storing it in the drawstring bag.
Hardware Check: Periodically inspect the carabiners and their attachment points on the TANK to ensure the spring gates are functioning correctly.
Webbing Inspection: Regularly check the nylon straps for any fraying or stress fractures in the stitching, particularly after high-load maximal resistance sessions.
Storage: Store all components inside the provided waterproof bag in a dry location to prevent UV degradation and moisture-related damage.
Warranty Information
Torque Fitness provides a 90-day warranty on materials and workmanship for the components of this kit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this with the TANK M1? A: It is not recommended. The TANK M1 is not designed for the explosive sprint training that the harness is built for, and its lighter weight can lead to tipping if used with a 30-foot pulling radius.
Q: Is the tow strap adjustable? A: Yes, the harness includes an adjustable buckle to ensure it fits securely on athletes of various sizes.
Q: Does it come with the TANK sled? A: No. This is an accessory kit only. The TANK M4 or MX must be purchased separately.
Q: Can I use the V-Strap for rows? A: Absolutely. It is specifically designed for rows, high pulls, and rotational movements, providing a more ergonomic grip than pulling on a bare strap or rope.
