Level III – Towing, recovery & everything that can ruin your trip

This is the course for those "What now?!" moments. The bed is tilted, the coffee cup slides off the table — and somewhere in the rear left there’s a strange noise. The vehicle has sunk in, slipped, or is stuck. The mood shifts.

Level III prepares you for exactly these situations. You’ll learn how to act calmly and methodically, correctly assess vehicle weight and force application, and use recovery equipment effectively — on your own or as part of a team. If your vehicle is equipped with a winch, the course content is expanded accordingly.

The training is hands-on, safety-focused, and designed for real travel conditions. It’s not about showing off — it’s about getting through.

CONTENT & TRAINING FOCUS

Understanding forces & loads
How do forces act on your vehicle during recovery? What happens with an incorrect pull angle? You’ll learn how to read situations and assess them realistically.

Recovery equipment & technical terminology
What belongs to standard equipment — and how do you talk about it correctly? Clear terminology helps worldwide when communicating with professionals and recovery teams.

Safe recovery points on the vehicle
Where can you attach safely — and where absolutely not? Which points are load-bearing? We show common mistakes and the correct application.

Truck towing — rope or bar?
When recovery isn’t enough and towing is required: you’ll learn how to tow trucks safely using a rope or a tow bar — and what to watch out for.

Winch training
For vehicles equipped with a winch: safe operation, correct sizing, pulley systems, avoiding common mistakes, and hands-on practice.

Equipment: maintenance, inspection & sizing
Recovery equipment must be suitable and kept in proper condition.

COURSE OBJECTIVE

Level III is designed for real emergency situations — and is the final logical step if you truly want to be prepared for a major journey. You’ll approach critical situations with a clear mind, act confidently, and avoid damage to both people and vehicle.

More control. Less stress. And the confidence of being truly prepared.
