Overview
The Torque Fitness TANK™ Tow Rope is a heavy-duty training accessory designed to expand the exercise capabilities of any TANK™ sled (M1, M4, and MX models). This 30-foot rope allows users to perform high-intensity pulling, rowing, and rotational exercises, essentially converting the TANK™ into a mobile friction-based anchor for battle rope functionality. Whether for individual conditioning or team-based "tug-of-war" drills, the TANK™ Tow Rope adds a dynamic layer of metabolic and strength training to your sled workouts.

Key Features and Specifications
Heavy-Duty Construction: Built from high-quality dacron with heat-sealed ends to prevent fraying and ensure long-term durability.
Dimensions: 30 feet (9.1m) in length with a 1.5” (38mm) diameter, providing a substantial grip surface for intense pulling.
Easy Attachment: Features a heavy-duty metal bracket and a secure metal carabiner for quick connection to the TANK™'s tow hook.

Multi-User Ready: A second rope can be attached to the opposite end of the TANK™ for "back-and-forth" pulling drills between two users.
Performance Benefits
Full-Body Pulling: Excellent for developing upper-body pulling strength and explosive power in the lats, shoulders, and core.
Sled Variety: Moves the TANK™ training beyond simple pushing; users can now stand stationary and pull the TANK™ toward them, providing a unique friction-based resistance profile.
Battle Rope Utility: The 30-foot length allows for standard battle rope slams and waves while anchored to the TANK™ sled.
Metabolic Conditioning: Pulling the TANK™ over distance provides a high-intensity cardiovascular challenge that scales with the TANK™'s internal magnetic resistance settings.
Maintenance and Care
Usage Warning: This rope is designed strictly for pulling and conditioning drills. It is NOT to be used for climbing.
Cleaning: If the rope becomes dirty from outdoor use, shake off loose debris or use a stiff-bristled brush to clean the dacron fibers. Avoid soaking the rope in water, as trapped moisture can lead to mildew; if it becomes wet, allow it to air dry fully in a well-ventilated area.
End Protection: Regularly inspect the heat-sealed ends to ensure they remain intact. If fraying begins, the ends can be carefully resealed with a heat source.
Storage: Coil the rope loosely when not in use. Avoid storing it in damp environments or in direct sunlight for extended periods, which can weaken the synthetic fibers.
Warranty Information
90-Day Warranty: This product is covered by a 90-day warranty on materials and workmanship from Torque Fitness.
Limitations: The warranty does not cover damage resulting from misuse (such as climbing), abrasive wear from rough surfaces (like asphalt), or environmental degradation due to improper storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this with any sled? A: While it features a standard carabiner that can technically clip to many sled hooks, it is specifically designed and weighted for the Torque Fitness TANK™ series (M1, M4, MX).
Q: Is the rope thick enough for big hands? A: Yes, the 1.5” diameter is the industry standard for battle ropes and pulling ropes, providing a challenging but manageable grip for most adult athletes.
Q: Can I attach two ropes at once? A: Yes. If you have a TANK™ M4 or MX with tow hooks on both ends, you can attach a rope to each side, allowing two athletes to pull the sled back and forth without having to turn the machine around.
Q: Can I use this on concrete? A: Pulling the dacron rope across abrasive surfaces like concrete will eventually cause fraying. For the best longevity, use the rope on turf, grass, or rubber gym flooring.
