The trailer hitch is the connection between your vehicle and the trailer. This hitch ensures that the trailer is firmly attached to your car's tow bar. When attaching the trailer, it?s essential to check that the hitch is properly secured onto the tow bar. You want to ensure that the hitch is locked and there is no play between the tow bar and the hitch.
The safety coupling: extra security
In addition to the trailer hitch, the safety coupling is an important safety component when attaching a trailer. Also known as the breakaway cable, the safety coupling ensures that the trailer remains connected to the towing vehicle if the hitch comes loose. This prevents the trailer from completely detaching and causing accidents.
The trailer lock: protect your trailer from theft
A trailer lock is an essential security accessory that protects your trailer from theft. This lock is fitted to the trailer?s drawbar, making it impossible to attach the trailer to a tow bar without removing the lock. Trailer locks come in various shapes and sizes, and it is important to choose a lock that matches the specifications of your trailer.
