TOWS Meaning and
Definition
-
The verb "tows" refers to the action of pulling or dragging something behind a vehicle or boat using a rope, chain, or other suitable means of attachment. This term commonly applies to the activity of moving a disabled or immobile vehicle, vessel, or other large objects by attaching them to a powered vehicle or boat that can provide the necessary force. Tows can be conducted for various purposes, including transportation, salvage, or rescue operations.
When an object is towed, it is typically in a state where it cannot move under its own power. The process involves securing the towed object firmly to prevent detachment during the journey. Tow ropes or cables are often employed, which are attached to both the towing vehicle or boat and the item being pulled. Towing can be conducted over short or long distances, depending on the circumstances and capabilities of the vehicle or vessel used for the operation.
Towing services are commonly provided by professional companies equipped with specialized vehicles designed for safely and efficiently towing various types of objects. In some cases, different regulations and safety measures may apply to towing depending on the jurisdiction and the weight or type of the towed object. It is essential to carefully consider and implement proper towing techniques to ensure the safety of both the towing vehicle and the object being towed.

Etymology of TOWS
The word "tows" comes from the Old English word "tōwan", which means "draw (a vehicle) by a rope or chain".
