Product Information

Full details

This AB Tools coupling and jockey wheel is designed for owners of Ifor Williams Box Van Trailers (3500kg models), offering enhanced security and ease of use. Its key benefit is the integrated locking mechanism, preventing unauthorized coupling or uncoupling. A caveat is its specific compatibility with 3500kg models and certain trailer types (BV106, BV126), not fitting lighter variants. It features a heavy-duty ribbed jockey wheel and a cast hitch head with an integral lock, ready for immediate installation.
