There are fixed tow bars, detachable tow bars, and swing-away tow bars The choice in the type of tow bar depends on what you want, and on the type of car you drive.
+
Fixed tow bar
: is permanently mounted to the car, and always visible. It is the simplest system, and is therefore the lowest priced of all towing hooks. For cars with parking sensors, however, this can cause a problem, making a fixed tow bar not always possible.
+
Removable tow bar
: you can easily disassemble, so when the tow bar is not used you don’t need to see it. In some cases, it is necessary to make a bumper incision to allow the tow ball to pass through. On some cars, only a detachable tow bar can be advised, because a fixed tow bar will come in front of the license plate which is not allowed by law.
+ Swing away tow bars: the difference with a detachable hitch is that the hitch can be swung away under the car, but it is still still attached to the car. This also keeps the tow bar out of sight. This tow bar is unfortunately only possible for a limited number of cars for application.
It depends on your type of car, which tow bars you could use. This is because the tow bar must be matched to the car’s chassis. Using the weight of your car, make and type of tow bar, it can then calculate how much weight you can carry. The tow bar can be used for different things, think of caravans, trailers or bike carriers, which varies greatly in the weight carried. Thus, to install a towbar, technical knowledge is important.
It depends on the type of tow bar you choose. For bike racks, caravans, and horse or boat trailers, you also need a cable set so that they are supplied with power for lighting. You can choose from a 7-pin plug which is mainly intended for bike carriers, trailers or semi-trailers, or a 13-pin plug which is mainly intended for caravans. We will gladly provide you with no-obligation advice on the most suitable towbar, and cable set for your situation and car.
