  1. TowMate will be there with lots of new stuff to check out! Stop by booth #3309 and say hi to the team!
  2. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Rogers, AR, 4/19/23 - TowMate, a leading US manufacturer of LED lighting and roadside safety systems for automotive applications for over 35 years, is proud to announce the successful renewal of a 5-year exemption for the use of their wireless tow lights on US roadways. This exemption, granted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), has a backdated effective date of February 9, 2023, ensuring that any citation issued during the lapse in coverage from the previous exemption can be nullified. As the inventor of wireless tow lights, TowMate has been dedicated to providing professional tow truck operators and others with innovative, efficient, and safe tools to execute their tasks more effectively. The exemption journey began with a 2-year exemption, followed by another 2-year exemption, and then a 5-year exemption. The recent lapse in coverage occurred before a new exemption could be published, but TowMate's diligent work with the FMCSA has led to the approval of another 5-year exemption, published on April 19, 2023. TowMate is also pleased to report that a permanent solution is in the works, which will ensure the lasting acceptance and use of wireless tow lights on US roadways. This ongoing effort demonstrates TowMate's dedication to championing the needs of professional tow truck operators and ensuring they have the necessary tools to perform their duties quickly and safely. "We are thrilled with the FMCSA's decision to renew the 5-year exemption for wireless tow lights," said Chris Anderson, Vice President of TowMate. "Our team has worked tirelessly to make sure that tow truck operators can continue to utilize these innovative tools, which are essential for efficient and safe towing. We look forward to the implementation of a permanent solution and will continue to advocate for the best interests of our customers and the towing industry as a whole."

  3. Hello! Sorry it has taken so long to respond. I apologize you seem to have issues with your batteries lasting. First and foremost, I would like to mention that we recommend leaving the light bar on charge when not in use (unless you won't be using it for weeks at a time, in which case you should charge it fully before storing). This ensures the bar will always be at a peak charge when you go to use it. If the bar is left in a discharged state it can cause premature failure of the cell's ability to recharge. This may have something to do with the issues you are experiencing. Another thought is that sometimes a faulty switch can cause what you are seeing with the flickering. A quick call to our tech team can guide you through some basic troubleshooting to diagnose the issue. They can be reached at 800-680-4455. Further, in regards to the terminals, when they are "smashed down" it is not done so in a manner that damages the battery, nor is the soldering. We have done this for years and years with no negative impacts to the batteries that can be directly correlated to this process. Typically preemptive failure is more on account of the above, or simply a bad egg. One other thing to note is that we go through these batteries all the time and therefore have 'fresh batteries' in stock as a result. Ordering replacements from battery suppliers can sometimes result in receiving a battery that has been on the shelf for a while. These lead-acid batteries will break down even when sitting in stock, so simply a word of caution there. Finally, I would like to mention that we have newer systems that incorporate removable lithium-ion batteries for longer runtimes and overall lifespans (see the Li26 for an example). We also have come out with a 'super-fast charging wireless tow light' that doesn't even contain a battery. It runs on super-capacitors, which allows for an 8-minute charge time and 4-hour runtime with no need to EVER change a battery or power supply (See the TM-FLUX). If you have questions or need assistance with anything, we are always just a call away. Thank you, Chris Anderson 800-680-4455
