How to select the appropriate towbar.
Discuss the towbar options
Based on your towing requirements and inclinations, there are three fundamental types of towbars, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks.
Fixed towbars are perpetually connected to the vehicle, making them a dependable and enduring option. It is well-suited for routine transportation; however, its constant visibility may diminish the aesthetic appeal of your vehicle.
The most cost-effective option for regular towing, such as trailers and caravans.
Drawbacks: Consistently visible; may activate parking sensors on newer vehicles.
Detachable towbar
When the vehicle is not in use, detachable towbars can be removed, which results in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. It provides a greater degree of flexibility than a fixed towbar, while maintaining the same towing capacity.
Optimal for: Occasional towing or when the towbar is to be concealed when not in use.
Drawbacks: Permanent towbars are priced slightly higher.
Retractable Towbars
When not in use, retractable towbars can be folded or retracted beneath the vehicle. Although it is generally more expensive, this is a more convenient option than a detachable towbar.
Ideal for: Individuals who require a convenient and high-quality solution for occasional towing.
Drawbacks: Expensive and limited in number.
We find out the compatibility of your vehicle
The towbar must be compatible with the make and model of your vehicle. Many towbar manufacturers customise their products to suit specific automobiles; therefore, it is crucial to select one that is compatible with your vehicle. Confirm that the towbar can support the weight you intend to tow by consulting the owner’s manual for your vehicle’s towing capacity.
Towing requirements
Our professional team for tow bar fitting Tamworth will discuss the extent of your towing requirements.
We take into account the vehicle that you will be towing on a regular basis. The type and strength of towbar required will be determined by what you will be towing and how often.
Will you tow a caravan?
If so we will choose a towbar that is capable of supporting a substantial amount of weight.
Towing a Trailer?
If so we will ensure that the towbar is suitable for the trailer’s weight and design.
Will you use the towbar for a cycle rack?
While lightweight towbars may be sufficient for a cycle rack it is still necessary to review the total towing capacity of your vehicle.
Our towbar fitting Tamworth team will also discuss whether you will tow frequently or only occasionally.
This is because a towbar that is fixed may be the most suitable for frequent use. This is opposed to a detachable towbar or retractable one. These may be more suitable for occasional transportation in order to maintain the appearance of your vehicle.
Do you need electrical work
Connecting the trailer or caravan’s electrical system to your vehicle is a common requirement when towing.
There are two primary categories of electrical systems that must be taken into account. Our mobile towbar fitters are fully qualified to undertake this work.
7-Pin Electrics
This type of electrics are suitable for trailers and bike carriers that necessitate only minimal illumination. This is like to connecting up indicators, brake lights, and fog lights.
13-Pin Electrics
This electrics is essential for caravans and trailers that include additional features, including internal electricity and reverse lighting.
It is imperative to select the appropriate electrics to guarantee that your towed cargo adheres to all regulatory standards, including the operation of the brake lights.
Safety and legal concerns
Our tow bar fitting Tamworth will ensure that the towbar you acquire is in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom or the European Union. Towbars must adhere to specific standards, such as EC 94/20 or a comparable standard, to guarantee their safety and functionality.
It is also imperative to have a towbar that is capable of supporting the weight of your trailer or caravan.
We understand the technology of the vehicle
Many contemporary vehicles are equipped with parking sensors, reverse cameras, and other advanced safety features. These systems may be disrupted by specific towbars, particularly those that are fixed. By selecting a retractable or detachable towbar, these issues can be mitigated, as they can be concealed or removed when not in use, thereby guaranteeing that the sensors remain operational.
