We supply and fit high-quality, EC type-approved towbar systems for a wide range of vehicles. Whether you need a towbar for a caravan, trailer, bike carrier, garden equipment or commercial work, we'll help you choose a system appropriate for your vehicle and intended use.

Mobile Towbar Fitting That Comes to You
Finding time to take your vehicle to a fitting centre isn't always easy.
You may use your car every day for work, have a busy family schedule or rely on a van to keep your business operating. Losing access to your vehicle for several hours can be inconvenient and, for commercial users, potentially costly.
Our mobile service removes much of that disruption.
Once your appointment has been arranged, our towbar fitting team travels to your chosen location with the specialist equipment and components required for the installation.
This means you can potentially have your towbar fitted:
- At your home
- At your workplace
- At your business premises
- At a suitable commercial location
- At another agreed location with appropriate access
Our aim is to provide the convenience of mobile fitting without compromising on professional workmanship.
Towbar Fitting in Telford
Telford is one of the main areas covered by our mobile installation service, providing convenient access to professional towbar fitting for motorists, families, tradespeople and businesses throughout the area.
Whether you're fitting a towbar to a family SUV before a caravan holiday or need towing capability on a working van, we'll help identify a suitable system for your vehicle.
A towbar can provide additional versatility for Telford drivers who need to transport items that won't comfortably fit inside their vehicle.
Common uses include:
- Caravan towing
- Utility trailers
- Garden trailers
- Towbar-mounted bike carriers
- Work equipment
- Small machinery
- Commercial trailers
For businesses and tradespeople, having a professionally installed towbar can also increase the usefulness of an existing van without necessarily requiring a larger vehicle.
Our mobile towbar fitting in Telford service means you can arrange installation at a convenient location rather than making an unnecessary journey to a workshop.
We work with a wide range of cars, SUVs, vans and light commercial vehicles, with the appropriate towbar and electrical system selected according to the vehicle and its intended use.
Towbar Fitting in Shrewsbury
Our mobile towbar fitting service also covers Shrewsbury and the surrounding Shropshire area.
Shrewsbury drivers use towbars for many different reasons, from transporting bicycles and garden equipment to towing caravans and trailers.
For families, a towbar can provide a convenient way to use a bike carrier without having to lift bicycles onto the roof of the vehicle. For caravan owners, it provides the essential connection point required to tow a suitably matched caravan.
Commercial users can also benefit from additional towing capability, particularly when transporting equipment between jobs or carrying materials that cannot easily be accommodated inside a van.
We can supply and fit different towbar styles, including fixed flange, swan neck and detachable systems.
The electrical installation is also selected according to the vehicle and what you intend to tow.
Our mobile towbar fitting in Shrewsbury service allows us to bring the installation to your home or workplace, helping make the process as convenient as possible.
Towbar Fitting in Newport
MTF Towbar Fitters also provide mobile towbar installation throughout Newport and the surrounding area.
A towbar can be useful for Newport motorists for a wide range of applications, including trailers, caravans, bike racks and work-related towing.
If you regularly visit recycling centres, undertake home improvement projects, maintain a large garden or transport sporting equipment, a trailer or towbar-mounted carrier can provide additional practicality.
For businesses, a towbar can increase the versatility of a commercial vehicle by allowing suitable equipment and trailers to be transported when required.
We can advise on the available towbar options for your particular vehicle and explain which electrical system is most appropriate.
As with our other Shropshire service areas, our mobile installation approach means you don't necessarily need to take your vehicle to a traditional fitting centre.
Which Type of Towbar Do You Need?
There isn't one towbar that's perfect for every driver.
The right option depends on your vehicle, how frequently you tow and whether appearance, practicality or flexibility is most important to you.
Fixed Flange Towbars
Fixed flange towbars are a popular option for regular towing.
The towball remains permanently attached to the vehicle, making it readily available whenever you need to connect a trailer or caravan.
They can also be used with suitable towing accessories and cycle carriers, depending on the specification.
For motorists who regularly tow, their straightforward design and practicality make them a popular choice.
Swan Neck Towbars
Swan neck towbars have a streamlined curved design and can provide a cleaner appearance than a traditional flange system.
They're widely used on modern cars and SUVs and can be suitable for both towing and certain towbar-mounted accessories.
Detachable Towbars
A detachable towbar provides greater flexibility for motorists who don't want the towball permanently visible.
The detachable section can be removed when it isn't required and refitted when you need to tow.
This can be particularly useful for drivers who primarily use their vehicle for everyday driving but occasionally tow a caravan or trailer.
Towbar Electrics for Modern Vehicles
A towbar installation isn't just about fitting the mechanical towbar.
If you're towing a trailer or caravan, you'll also need an appropriate electrical system.
The electrical connection allows the vehicle to operate the trailer's lighting and, depending on the system and vehicle, can provide additional communication between the vehicle and trailer.
Modern vehicles have increasingly sophisticated electronic systems, so choosing the correct wiring kit is important.
We supply and fit quality electrical systems suitable for a wide range of modern vehicles.
7-Pin or 13-Pin Towbar Electrics?
7-Pin Electrics
7-pin systems provide the essential lighting connections required for many standard trailers.
These can include:
- Indicators
- Brake lights
- Tail lights
- Rear fog light
- Number plate lighting
For many utility and domestic trailers, a 7-pin system may be appropriate.
13-Pin Electrics
13-pin systems are commonly used with modern caravans and provide additional electrical connections.
They can support additional functions beyond basic trailer lighting, depending on the vehicle and caravan.
If you already own a caravan or trailer, it's worth checking which connector it uses before arranging your installation.
If you're unsure, our team can help determine which electrical system is appropriate for your vehicle and intended application.
Vehicle-Specific Towbar Wiring
Modern cars can contain complex electronic systems that need to be considered during towbar installation.
Vehicle-specific wiring kits are designed for particular makes and models and can allow the towing system to communicate appropriately with the vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle, this may help support functions such as:
• Trailer recognition
• Parking sensor operation
• Trailer stability systems
• Lighting management
• Dashboard warnings
Using an appropriate wiring system can help maintain compatibility with the vehicle's existing electronics.
Our installers can advise on the most suitable electrical solution for your particular vehicle.
Towbars for Cars, SUVs and Vans
We fit towbars to a wide range of vehicle types.
Cars
A towbar can make an everyday car more versatile by providing the ability to tow a suitable trailer or use a compatible bike carrier.
SUVs
SUVs are commonly used for caravan and trailer towing, although towing capacities vary between individual models.
Before selecting a towbar, it's important to establish the manufacturer's towing limits for the specific vehicle.
Vans and Commercial Vehicles
For tradespeople and businesses, a towbar can provide additional carrying capability without requiring a larger van.
Vans may be used to tow:
• Plant trailers
• Tool trailers
• Garden machinery
• Building equipment
• Commercial trailers
• Specialist equipment
The appropriate towbar must always be selected according to the vehicle's specification and intended use.
Caravan Towbar Fitting
Caravan owners have particular requirements when selecting towing equipment.
Before choosing a towbar, it's important to consider the relationship between the towing vehicle and caravan.
Important figures include:
• Maximum towing capacity
• Caravan weight
• Nose weight
• Gross train weight
• Vehicle payload
• Caravan loading
The caravan's loaded weight can be significantly higher than its unladen weight, so it's important to take the contents of the caravan into account.
Your vehicle must be capable of safely and legally towing the caravan you intend to use.
A towbar does not increase the vehicle's towing capacity.
Towbars for Trailers
Trailers are useful for homeowners, businesses and leisure users.
A suitable trailer can provide additional carrying space for items such as:
• Garden waste
• Building materials
• Furniture
• DIY equipment
• Gardening machinery
• Outdoor equipment
Before towing, always ensure the trailer and load remain within the permitted limits of your vehicle and towing equipment.
The trailer should also be correctly coupled, secured and connected electrically before every journey.
Towbar-Mounted Bike Carriers
You don't need to own a caravan or trailer to benefit from having a towbar.
Towbar-mounted bike carriers are increasingly popular with families and cycling enthusiasts.
They can be used to transport:
• Mountain bikes
• Road bikes
• Children's bikes
• Electric bikes
• Multiple bicycles
One advantage of a towbar-mounted carrier is that bikes are generally carried lower than with a roof-mounted system, making loading and unloading easier.
They're also useful for drivers who don't want to increase their vehicle's height with bikes mounted on the roof.
The correct carrier must always be compatible with your towbar and vehicle, and the manufacturer's load limits should be followed.
Professional Towbar Installation Matters
A towbar is a safety-critical component of your vehicle when you're towing.
It needs to be securely mounted using the correct components and mounting points for your particular vehicle.
The electrical system also needs to be installed correctly and tested before the vehicle is used for towing.
Professional installation can provide confidence that the system has been fitted correctly and is suitable for its intended application.
At MTF Towbar Fitters, our experienced installers use specialist equipment and quality components to complete installations efficiently and professionally.
