Will this fit a braked trailer?

No, this hitch is designed specifically for unbraked trailers.

What size tow ball does this require?

This hitch is compatible with a standard 50mm tow ball.

Can I lock this hitch?

Troubleshooting

Hitch will not lock onto the tow ball

Hitch feels loose or rattles while towing

Check that all mounting bolts are tightened to the correct torque settings and verify the square draw bar is a true 50mm fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable zinc-plated construction resists corrosion
  • High 800kg load capacity for its class
  • Pre-drilled mounting holes simplify installation
  • Integrated lock cut-out provides added security
  • E24 safety approval ensures reliable performance

Cons

  • Limited to unbraked trailers only
  • Requires specific 50mm square draw bar dimensions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic hand tools to align the 92mm bolt hole centres with your trailer draw bar. Ensure you use high-tensile bolts corresponding to the 12mm hole diameter for maximum safety. To ensure longevity, keep the internal ball mechanism lubricated with a light grease to minimize friction during rotation. Regularly check the hitch for signs of wear and ensure the lock cut-out is free of debris if you plan to use a security device.
