Today, we'll be reviewing part number EM59505. This is a Erickson bolt-on tow hook. It's going to provide an attachment point for your tow straps. It's going to bolt on very quickly and easily. It can be used for a variety of industrial, agricultural or recreational purposes. It's going to include the keeper that's going to help secure the strap onto the hook. It's a nice steel construction, with a black powder coat finish, so it is going to stand up well against rust and corrosion.
Then, all the mounting hardware that you need to get this installed is included. It's going to offer a capacity of 10,000 pounds. If we take a look at some measurements, we want to measure the diameter of each hole. That's going to give us a diameter of 1/2 inch, and then, center-on-center, those holes are going to be separated by 1 3/8 inch. Now, this is not a custom fit, so it's a universal mounting application. It can be mounted to any surface that will handle the loads required of the tow hook. The normal mounting location is going to be to the vehicle's frame.
The half-inch mounting holes are 1 3/8 inch apart, center-on-center, so you can measure to see if you have pre-drilled locations on your vehicle's frame to install the hooks. If not, then you can drill out holes to mount the hooks at any location that's going to work best for your application. The opening that we're going to have between the point of the hook and the back portion there is going to measure about two inches. So you're going to get the hook, you're going to get the bolts, you're going to get the keeper, and you're going to get the lock nuts. The overall length, measuring from end to end, is going to give us a measurement of about 5 1/2 inches. To install the keeper, it's actually a really simple installation. It's going to go on like that, so all you have to do is line up your holes, and then you can install everything that you need.
You can install the bolts, and then you're going to secure it with the nuts on the opposite side. They are lock nuts, so they're going to secure everything together for a nice, tight, secure installation. Again, this is typically wanting to be mounted onto the vehicle's frame or anywhere that can support the limit of the low hook which, again, has a capacity of 10,000 pounds. You definitely want to check to see if you have the pre-drilled mounting locations. If not, you can drill out two half-inch holes, making sure that they're going to be 1 3/8 inch apart, center-on-center. That's going to work just great for this bolt-on tow hook. That's going to do it for today's review of part number EM59505.
