TOW-TRUST TOWBARS THE UK’S LARGEST TOWBAR & TOWING ACCESSORY MANUFACTURER TOW-TRUST TOWBARS Tow-Trust manufacture a wide range of fixed flange, fixed swan neck & swan neck detachable towbars for both commercial & non-commercial vehicles. Tow-Trust also manufacture & supply a wide variety of towing related products such as the ‘Pro-Step’ & ‘Jumbo’ range of steps (towing & non-towing) as well as accessories such as pin, ball & jaws & adjustable height couplings. Tow-Trust Towbars Ltd was founded with a small ambition that has grown and grown ever since; ‘to provide the highest quality products’. Located in a single Unit in Atherstone, Warwickshire, the company set about this ambition by manufacturing and fitting towbars on a small scale for the local Midland’s area. As the product range and reputation of this new manufacturing firm grew, The 1990s quickly saw Tow-Trust establish themselves as a nationwide supplier of towbars and towing products. The direction of the company from day one was simple, ‘to supply quality products at competitive prices’ and this philosophy remains very much at the heart of Tow-Trust today. Quickly outgrowing their previous manufacturing site, Tow-Trust moved in 1995 to larger premises on the Carlyon Road Industrial Estate in Atherstone in order to house new hi-tech machinery that improved production efficiency and quality. Horizontal Detachable Swan Neck Towbar Fixed Swan Neck Towbar Fixed Flange Towbar Vertical Detachable Swan Neck Towbar Fixed Flange Towbar This is the type of tow bar that has been the UK’s standard fitting for many years. Its design uses a bolt-on towball and can be used with accessories such as bumper guards and tow-steps. The bolt-on nature of this towbar means a range of couplings such as standard 50mm towballs, Alko towballs or pin, ball and jaws can be attached to the faceplate. On some commercial vehicles that offer a 4 hole or 6 hole faceplate, the towball height can be adjusted. Cycle carriers can be fixed behind the coupling of this style towbar allowing for a towing facility and cycles to be carried at the same time. Fixed Swan Neck Towbar This design of fixed towbar is becoming increasingly popular in the UK. The fixed swan neck towbar is compatible for use with an Alko stabiliser without the requirement of a replacement towball. This design of the towbar is less likely to affect reversing sensors due to its slim-line design. Unfortunately, the fixed swan neck towbar is not compatible with common accessories such as bumper protectors or tow-steps and cannot be used for a cycle carrier whilst towing at the same time. Vertical Detachable Swan Neck Towbar The majority of Tow-Trust’s detachable swan neck towbars are ‘vertical’ (VK) systems making them fully hidden behind the bumper once the detachable neck is removed. All our VK towbars incorporate a fold away electrical plate enabling the towbar electrics to fold behind the bumper when not in use. Key features of the vertical detachable system are; Suitable for vehicles with reversing sensors In most instances, this system is completely invisible once the neck is removed and therefore preserves the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle Alko compatible Allows free access to the rear of the vehicle Lockable with a set of two keys provided Storage bag provided for safekeeping once the neck is removed Horizontal Detachable Swan Neck Towbar When a vertically loading detachable neck is not available Tow-Trust try to offer a ‘horizontal’ (HK) system. This allows all the benefits of the vertical detachable system above apart from the housing and socket plate being visible when the neck is removed. Pro-Steps The Tow-Trust range of ‘Pro-Steps’ offer a robust, full width, plastic, anti-slip tread solution for trade professionals looking for easy access to their vehicle via a heavy-duty step. Manufactured to the highest standards, the lightweight anti-shatter plastic tread offers excellent foot span and is supported by a steel skeleton structure that provides extreme rigidity when placed under large loads. The ‘Pro-Step’ range is available in yellow or black and features a hi-visibility reflective strip. Whilst being quick and easy to fit, the ‘Pro-Step’ range is also suitable for parking sensors to be installed. Jumbo Steps The Jumbo Step range has been specifically released for the Ford Transit Van but has recently incorporated the Mercedes Sprinter & VW Crafter Vans as well. The ‘Jumbo’ steps key features are its high corrosion resistance, e-coated paint finish, its aluminium anti-slip tread and its integral reversing sensor points suitable for use with 18.5mm sensors. Furthermore, this step provides excellent protection to rear panels, doors and lights whilst not detracting from the aesthetic looks of the vehicle. Available as a towing or non-stowing step. Tow-Steps Tow-Trust also offer a full range of bolt-on tow-steps. This step solution is ideal for the customer looking to combine affordability with a heavy-duty step to use with their towbar. This range of tow-steps are extremely popular as they offer a generous foot tread which is uniquely designed to offer extreme grip protection during slippy conditions. Combine this with being easy to fit and e-coated, this step really is built to last and it is easy to see why this range has been so popular to date. Adjustable Height Couplings Tow-Trust Towbars Ltd manufacture EC Type Approved adjustable height couplings. This towing accessory is primarily designed to allow the height of the towball to be adjusted on vehicles that either has a 4 or 6 hole faceplates (Please note this should not be used on a towbar with a 2 hole faceplate). Easily adjustable by removing the 2x 19mm pins, the height adjustment ranges between 50mm and 100mm of travel.
