Tow bar categories
-
Tow bars with a detachable tow ball are a solution in which the ball is fastened to the body with mounting bolts. The ball can be easily removed by unscrewing the bolts. They are an excellent choice for people who expect reliability combined with a lower price.
-
Tow bars that are automatically detachable combine maximum ease of use with operational safety. Neither fitting nor removal requires physical force or any tools. The tow bars are fitted with anti-theft locks. They stand out for their high aesthetics, as they blend with the rear line of the body. The two most popular detachable ball systems are vertical and horizontal release. In these systems the ball is fixed in its socket by a specially designed locking pin. Fitting consists of sliding the ball into the socket, after which it locks automatically. To remove the ball it is enough to turn the knob so that the ball is released. The new standard in the automatic detachable segment is the semi-automatic W12 tow bar - a single turn of the knob is enough to remove the tow ball. Automating tow bars significantly increases ease and comfort of use.
-
Tow bars that are electrically retractable with the W13 ball are a Premium-class solution. It combines functionality with aesthetics and ease of use. Thanks to the automatic mechanism that extends and retracts the ball at the touch of a single button, tow bars with the W13 ball are always ready for use or hidden when not needed.
