Can’t I just use my tie-down points for recovery?

The tie-down points already fitted on your vehicle are not suitable for recovery or self-rescue. OE tie-down points (or transport hooks as they are often referred to) are intended to secure your vehicle during shipping and transportation, and were not designed, developed or tested to sustain additional loads, such as the weight of any upgrades you may have added to your vehicle since its manufacture.

Should I opt for one or two recovery points?

There’s a reason why Roadsafe Recovery Points are supplied as a pair. Here Club 4×4 Insurance explains why two recovery points are always better than one:

“If your vehicle is not equipped with purpose-designed recovery points, then it is crucial to invest in an aftermarket set. One point is good; two points (one of each side) are even better, as it effectively halves the load on each point and reduces the chances of bending your chassis. And don’t forget one for the rear!”
