What is the maximum towing capacity?

The hitch is rated for a maximum capacity of 3500kg.

Can I use this for off-road towing?

While the construction is heavy-duty, always ensure the total weight of your trailer and load does not exceed the 3500kg limit.

Do I need special tools to adjust the height?

No, the design utilizes quick-release pins that do not require any tools for adjustment.

Is the zinc plating prone to peeling?

The zinc plating is designed for high durability and corrosion resistance, provided it is not subjected to harsh chemical cleaners or severe physical impact.

Troubleshooting

Outer plate is difficult to slide

Clean the tracks of any road grit or debris and apply a thin layer of automotive grease.

Quick-release pins do not seat fully

Ensure the hole alignment is perfect and check that no debris is obstructing the pin housing.

Plate exhibits movement while towing

Verify that all mounting bolts to the vehicle are torqued correctly and that the quick-release pins are fully engaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High 3500kg towing capacity handles heavy loads easily
  • Quick-release pins allow for rapid height changes
  • Zinc-plated finish prevents rust and wear
  • Adjustable height ensures a level and safe towing profile

Cons

  • Only compatible with vehicles manufactured before 1998
  • Not compliant with modern European type approval regulations

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation involves securing the 270mm back plate to your vehicle’s hitch mount using the 17.25mm fixing holes. Ensure all bolts are torqued to your vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. To adjust the height, simply pull the quick-release pins, slide the outer plate to the desired position, and re-insert the pins until they click into place.

Care instructions include regular inspection of the pins for debris or rust. Clean the plate with a mild detergent and water, and apply a light coat of automotive grease to the sliding tracks to ensure smooth vertical movement over time.
