MOUNTING TO THE TOWBAR (mount is supplied with carrier)
Two mounting options: receiver hitch (fits square removable towbar) or standard mount (fits the fixed tongue style towbar). The receiver hitch mount replaces the 50mm removable tow hitch and is fitted into place using the existing towbar pin. The standard mount is simply bolted on underneath the towball, with a specially designed clamping system to eliminate twisting.
The galvanised carrier, when fitted to a vehicle with the standard mount (fixed tongue towbar) leaves the towball free if you still need to tow a trailer. This galv carrier also suits the receiver hitch mount, but this will do away with the usable towball feature.
The turning circle for a trailer may be restricted with this carrier fitted.
The loop for the trailer safety chain may be covered by the base mount - please check before purchasing and make adjustments if necessary. We do not recommend fitting the safety chain to the base mount as it is not rated/strengthened for this.
