Fixed Flange Towbar

Fixed Flange Towbar

This is the type of tow bar that has been the UK's standard fitting for many years. It's design uses a bolt-on towball and can be used with accessories such as bumper guards and tow-steps. The bolt on nature of this towbar means a range of couplings such as standard 50mm towballs, Alko towballs or pin, ball and jaws can be attached to the fac plate. On some commercial vehicles that offer a 4 hole or 6 hole face plate the towball height can be adjusted. Cycle carriers can be fixed behind the coupling of this style towbar allowing for a towing facility and cycles to be carried at the same time.

This design of fixed towbar is becoming increasingly popular in the UK. The fixed swan neck towncar is compatible for use with an Alko stabiliser with the requirement towball. The design of towbar is less likely yo affect reversing sensors due to its slim-line design. Tow-Trust's fixed swan neck towbar also allows for 20mm of adjustment on the towball heigh and 20mm of adjustment away from the bumper providing and adjustable towball position to suit your needs. Unfortunately the fixed swan neck towbar is not compatible with common accessories such as bumper protectors or tow-steps and cannon be used for a cycle carrier whilst towing at the same time.
