Trailing hitch

The trailer is subjected to heavy loads during operation. When buying, you need to know exactly how it will be used.

If you plan to transport goods on your trailer with a gross weight of up to 1500 kg., It is better to choose the option of a trailing device with a ball type "A". Detachable construction with fastening on 2 bolts. This design is inexpensive and will last a long time. In the event of a breakdown of the ball itself, you can easily replace it with a new one. They are always available in retail.

If you need a towbar to carry loads over 1500 kg, but not more than 3500 kg., It is better to choose a variant of a trailing device with a flanged forged ball type "F" or "G". Such balls are also available for free sale, and, if necessary, they can be replaced with new ones. The price of such products is slightly higher than the first option, but fully justifies itself by increased tractive force on the hook.

If you want to keep the original appearance of your car from behind, there are vertical quick-release coupler designs with key locking. Without this key, you can not remove the ball during your absence! In this way, theft protection is provided. With the disconnected ball of such a system, it seems that the car is not equipped with a towbar at all. All elements of the design are under the bumper. The electrical socket for connecting the trailer plug is fixed to a spring-loaded receptacle and is also retracted under the bumper. The ball itself is retracted into a special case (included in the product package) and stored in the trunk, and instead of it a special protective cap is put (also included). It protects the towbar of the towbar from dust and dirt from the road. The advantages of using such a trailer towing system are many. Minus only one, this is a high price. But it justifies itself in everyday operation. Ease of use is worth it for a little overpay for it!

Installing the tow hitch

Only at first glance it may seem that the installation of the towbar is a simple matter and does not require special skills. In fact, everything is not quite true. Despite the fact that each hitch has a detailed step-by-step instruction for its installation, it is better to install the hitch in a specialized certified technical center.
