Our 3 steps to getting your towbar fitted
STEP 1
Pick out the type of towbar
This is not as straight forward as it sounds because there are many elements to decide on first.
What towbar fits my car
Finding a towbar that fits their car is the hardest thing for most people. We get it – there are so many car brands and types out there, where would you start?
This is where we come in and so helpful. We always offer free advice.
You can just call us or fill out our online form to make an inquiry. We will gather some information about the car and use that to tell you what your choices are.
A lot of people think they have to use the same manufacturers of the towbar as their car. This is not true though.
There are many towbar manufacturers that make towbars to the correct standard required. These type of towbars are called Type A towbars.
We can supply the major manufacturers towbars as part of our service.
Such manufacturers are Brink and Twitter Towbars.
Think about what you’re going to pull.
Make sure you know what kind of things you want to pull or use your towbar for.
This will affect the size and weight of the load that you need to tow.
Find out how much your car can really pull as well.
Usually, you can find this information in your car’s owner’s guidebook or by calling the company that made it. If not, we can find this information for you.
Choose from 4 types of towbars
Through our tow bar fitting Dudley we have 4 different kinds of towbars to fit.
These can be set, taken off, or retracted, and they come with a swan neck or lip.
Every single one has its own pros and cons. We’ll take the time to go over these with you so you can pick the one that fits your needs and tastes the best.
Fixed towbars stay on your car forever, while detachable towbars can be taken off when not in use. To meet different pulling needs, retractable towbars come with either a swan neck or a hook.
Each of these will also cost differently, which we can go over with you again.
Detachable flange towbars
Detachable flange towbars are useful because they are simple to take off when not in use. This is very helpful for people who don’t want towbars to be seen all the time. The fact that they are flexible and easy to use makes them a great choice for many pulling tasks. Tow, on the other hand, needs the towbar to be installed and kept properly for it to work safely and effectively.
Detachable swan neck towbars
People who like the look of the swan neck design but want the freedom to take the towbar off when not in use often choose detachable swan neck towbars. Because they are stylish and easy to use, they are a great choice for many pulling situations. Tow, on the other hand, needs the towbar to be installed and kept properly for it to work safely and effectively.
Fixed flange Towbars
Fixed flange towbars are strong and last a long time, so they can pull big loads. Most of the time, they work best in business and industrial settings. But some customers might not like the obvious lip plate because it changes the way the car looks when the towbar is not in use.
Fixed Swan Neck Towbars
People like swan neck towbars because they look nice and are simple to use. While they are useful, keep in mind that because of how they are made, they might not work with all cars.
STEP 2
Choose the electrics options
After getting the right towbar, the next step is to choose the right kind of tow electrics.
As part of our service we will go through the electric tow bar power sockets options. Our mobile towbar fitters fit three kinds of tow bar power sockets.
These are Single 13 Pin electrics, Twin 7 Pin electrics (12N & 12S), and Single 7 Pin electrics (12N & 12S).
What you are pulling will determine what kind of socket you need.
STEP 3
Pick out the wiring choices
You can choose between general and specialised tow bar wiring.
A tow bar can be wired in two different ways.
You can install both general aftermarket wire and dedicated specific wiring on older cars. On some newer cars, however, you can only install dedicated specific wiring.
Most of the time, general wiring is cheaper, but it’s not always the best choice. For instance, general wiring might not turn on safety features that are already there. All new cars from now on will need special wiring that is only used for them.
Whether you are a client in Dudley or elsewhere in the West Midlands we will handle the process to make it easier for you.
