1. The Towbar Fitting Process – Step by Step
Step 1 – Vehicle Assessment
Before installation, our fitters assess your vehicle’s make, model, and towing capacity. This ensures compatibility and avoids warranty issues.
Step 2 – Towbar Type Selection
We supply and fit all major types:
- Fixed Flange Towbar – versatile, allows use with towing accessories.
- Detachable Swan Neck Towbar – unobtrusive when not in use.
- Fixed Swan Neck Towbar – neat design with no plate bracket.
Step 3 – Electrics Installation
We install 7-pin or 13-pin electrical systems depending on your trailer, caravan, or bike rack requirements. We use vehicle-specific wiring looms to maintain CANbus integrity.
Step 4 – Safety Testing
Post-installation, we perform a full torque check, electrical function test, and compliance inspection to EC Type-Approval standards.
