This towing eye has a breaking load of 24 tons. Always ensure your trailer's Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) does not exceed the rated capacity of the towing eye and your towing vehicle.
No, this towing eye is specifically designed to be welded onto the trailer chassis for a secure and permanent attachment. It is not designed for bolt-on applications.
General guidelines for welding mild steel suggest preheating can be beneficial, especially in colder conditions or for thicker materials, to ensure weld quality. Consult with your professional welder for their recommended procedure.
A towing eye bush is an accessory that fits inside the towing eye. It allows you to use a standard hitch pin as your coupling method, rather than a tow ball. This provides an alternative connection for different towing setups.
The towing eye comes with a self-colour (raw steel) finish. To prevent rust, especially in damp or corrosive environments, clean the surface after welding and apply a suitable metal primer and paint.
The key dimensions are: A - 405MM, B - 30.5MM, C - 93MM, D - 113MM, E - 51MM.
This heavy-duty towing eye is more suited for larger agricultural, industrial, or commercial trailers due to its 24-ton capacity. For standard car trailers, a lighter-duty option might be more appropriate.
Ensure the mounting surface on the trailer is perfectly flat and free of debris. Re-measure the designated area to confirm correct placement.
Consider purchasing a SecureFix Direct towing eye bush, which is designed to fit the eye and accept standard hitch pins. Ensure the pin diameter matches the bush specifications.
The self-colour finish offers minimal protection. Clean the surface thoroughly and apply a rust-inhibiting primer followed by a robust topcoat paint suitable for metal and outdoor use.
Consult with the professional welder. Ensure they followed appropriate procedures for mild steel and the specific load requirements. Re-welding by a qualified professional may be necessary.
