    Which towing connection suits my trailer?

    The choice is primarily determined by the permissible gross weight of the trailer. The towing connection must be suitable for the forces involved and the intended weight class.

    The design of the trailer chassis is also crucial. Straight drawbars are suitable for classic frame constructions. Cranked versions are an option if the installation situation requires an offset geometry.

    Height-adjustable towing connections offer additional flexibility for different body heights and frame concepts. V-shaped tow brackets are an ideal solution for constructions with a V-type connection.

    Straight towing connections

    Straight versions are suitable for trailer chassis with linear frame and drawbar construction. The essential factors are the required weight class, connection dimensions and installation situation.

    Cranked towing connections

    Cranked towing connections enable an offset attachment between the drawbar and the chassis. They are useful when the trailer construction requires a differing installation geometry.

    Safety and approval

    To ensure a reliable connection between trailer and towing vehicle, the towing connection must be matched to the respective trailer and its technical requirements. Key factors include the permissible gross weight, design, load capacity, connection dimensions and intended weight class. Before choosing a towing connection, check that it is suitable for the trailer and is approved accordingly. For safe and professional installation, we recommend fitting by a qualified workshop.
