Countless motor vehicle owners are drawn out to the road every day, every year, in search of the promise lying just over the horizon. In pursuit of that goal, many vehicle owners are intent on being able to bring along as much of their property with them as possible.
In that sense, many drivers choose to have a towbar installed in their car, which makes it possible to tow a trailer or other vehicles and thereby bring along the maximum amount of items with them on the road.
In order to be able to haul a trailer behind one's car, it is very important that the vehicle be equipped with a quality towbar (also referred to as a tow hitch) that can resist lots of stress and keep the vehicle's and the trailer's movements more or less in sync.
Of course, it isn't just any kind of towbar that can perform that way. You need to make sure that the towbar you have installed already, or that you want to install, meets the standards of the industry and furthermore to hear what a professional in the field has to say before deciding what kind to choose and what sort of trailer to use with it.
There are two basic forms of towbar on the market: one version which includes a towball mounted on a tow bracket, and another which incorporates a tow pin and jaw along with a trailer loop. The former variety will allow for greater articulation of the trailer's and car's movements, whereas the latter variety is a little more rigid (though if there is enough slack in the pin the same result can be achieved, more or less).
What is known as a receiver-type towbar is a version that has a detachable tow ball, while on the other hand a fixed-type towbar usually will have tow ball and other components incorporated directly into the vehicle's frame. In both cases, the towbar is connected directly to the chassis, which permits the driver to tow a heavier load. For better weight distribution and therefore a safer tow, with less risk of accidents, there are special square receiver sockets designed for such purposes.
The most crucial aspect of using your towbar comes at the moment of loading the tow ball, and it is of the utmost importance that horizontal and vertical loading be carried out with precision. Even the slightest error here can have bad results, and if you do not know what you have to do in this regard then be sure to consult somebody that does have experience in loading hitches, thereby reducing the risk of hurting others on the road or incurring damage to property.
One of the safest varieties of towbar is known as a Lunette Ring, which forms a very secure coupling by means of the mentioned ring and the pintle hook on the vehicle. This sort of towbar is ideal for heavy loads and for people towing on rugged terrain. - 29952
