Complete Towbars – Beam and Ball – Safety and Versatility for Your Vehicle

Complete towbars are essential accessories for drivers planning to tow trailers, car carriers, bicycle racks or other heavy loads. The set includes a mounting beam and a towball, ensuring full compatibility and ease of installation.

Why choose a complete towbar set?

Buying a ready-made set guarantees convenience, time savings, and technical compatibility of all parts. This solution minimizes the risk of installation errors and future breakdowns.

When should you replace your towbar?

  • Rust/corrosion – Weakens the towbar's structure and compromises safety.
  • Mechanical damage – Bends or cracks after accidents make continued use unsafe.
  • Incompatibility with the new trailer – Not every ball or beam fits all trailer types.
  • Legal regulations – Older towbars may not meet current safety standards.

Frequently asked questions about towbars

1. Is it difficult to install a towbar?
A matched beam and ball set is optimized for your car model, making installation relatively straightforward with basic tools, but professional fitting is recommended for warranty and safety.

2. What are the symptoms of a worn towbar?
Typical signs include excessive play in the ball, rust, or deformation of the beam structure or mounting bolts.

3. Does a towbar affect fuel consumption?
A fitted towbar alone has minimal impact, but towing increases fuel use due to added weight and drag.

How to choose the right towbar?

Match the towbar model to your specific car brand and model, considering the maximum allowed trailer weight (Gross Train Weight) and choosing between fixed, detachable, or automatic balls.

How to care for your towbar?

Regular cleaning and lubrication of the ball and checking bolts and corrosion protection are essential maintenance steps.

What are the most common faults?

The main issues are rust on the beam and ball, worn fixings, thread damage, and deformation from overloading.
