What is a towbar and what are they used for?
Towbars come in a variety of shapes and types, but they typically consist of a metal bar or frame that is securely secured to the towing vehicle’s chassis or frame.
The tow bar ends with a hitch ball or coupling that attaches to a corresponding hitch receiver on the trailer or other item being pulled. The hitch ball keeps the trailer securely attached even when it pivots and separates from the towing vehicle.
Tow bars are used for a variety of purposes, including commercial applications such as towing construction equipment and recreational usage such as hauling boats or campers. In the United Kingdom, they are commonly used to tow caravans.
It’s critical to select the appropriate tow bar and hitch system for your specific towing needs, taking into account factors such as trailer weight, kind of load being towed, and vehicle towing capabilities. For safe and successful towing, check sure the tow bar is properly fitted and maintained.
How to select the appropriate towbar for towing a caravan.
As previously stated, in the United Kingdom, towbars are used to tow caravans.
After all, it is an inexpensive way to spend a vacation.
However, safety is vital while towing a caravan, and selecting the appropriate towbar is part of that.
This is where our towbar fitting Nuneaton service is so useful for clients
There are so many things to think about when choosing a towbar.
First and foremost, consider what weight I will be towing. It is critical to account for the weight of the caravan, its contents, and all of your camping gear, since they can add up!
When selecting a tow bar, make sure it is the appropriate type for the purpose by researching the recommended weight limit.
There are three types of towbars.
Fixed Towbars
The first is the fixed towbar, which is the most widely utilised in the industry. People that travel long distances in large cars and trailers are the ones who use this the most. This is because there are many partner accessories that can assist with the towing procedure, such as bumper guards, drop plates that allow you to adjust the height of the tow bar, and pin-style towballs.
This is perhaps the most flexible towbar type available.
The other advantages of flanged towbars are:
Ideal for use with motorised kits, bicycle haulers, and other equipment.
There are several towballs (pin or nato) available.
Drop plates can be utilised to adjust towing height.
Fixed towbars’ disadvantages:
An additional cost for purchasing towballs.
When not in use, the towbar remains visible.
When not in use, the electrical components are visible.
Swan Neck Towbar
The Swan Neck tow bar is becoming increasingly popular in the UK due to its clean, curved and smooth appearance, which distinguishes it from other variants. The ‘L’ shaped bracket can be attached or welded to your vehicle, depending on your preference, and then the bar is installed like any other towbar, providing the same pulling strength.
There are attachments available for this towbar, but it cannot tow and carry bikes at the same time, which may be a deal-breaker for some families.
The Swan Neck towbar’s advantages:
Nice looking rounded “L” form design.
The clearance and angle are suitable for Alko stabilisers.
Reverse sensors will not operate if you are not towing.
Drawbacks of the Swan Neck towbar:
It is not possible to install multiple towball kinds.
Slightly more expensive than Towbars without a flange cannot be used with a cycle carrier. However, flange towbars may.
Detachable towbars
Detachable tow bars are becoming a popular choice for drivers who may not be on the road as frequently.
Benefits of Detachable Towbars:
Easily installed and removed in a couple of seconds when not in use.
The eco-system is functional, safe, and secure.
Appropriate for Alko stabilisers.
Drawbacks of detachable towbars:
Not compatible with bumper protectors.
Cycle carrier is not ideal to be used with it.
It’s simply a matter of determining which of these towbars best matches your needs.
Each of these vehicles has unique features, styles, and characteristics.
