The towbar or tow ball has a wide range of utilities, its main uses being:
- To pull agricultural trailers, livestock, industrial and professional use.
- Cargo trailers for leisure: camping, nautical, bicycles, motorcycles, horses and all kinds of loads that do not fit in the trunk or could damage the vehicle.
- Trailers for private use: home and garden
- To carry ball carriers, bicycle carriers, motorcycle carriers, pet carriers, suitcases and cargo in general.
- Special trailers for street vending, platforms for cars, hamburger restaurants, equestrian and other loads of great weight or volume.
Fixed ball: There are several models of fixed ball, however, the gooseneck ball, with a more refined and elegant line, is the most demanded by users. Among its features, it stands out that it is the most economical and can be removed with tools. Recommended in the case of using the towbar frequently. Due to its characteristics, the fixed ball is always visible.
Removable horizontal ball: It incorporates a mechanism that facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the ball manually, without tools. It is mandatory to install a removable ball when it partially or totally hides the registration plate or the fog light. Lafuente incorporates a double security system in this type of ball called half twist.
Removable vertical ball: The main characteristic of this type of system is that, when the ball is removed, both the towbar body and the electronic kit are hidden by the bumper, completely maintaining the aesthetics of the vehicle. At first glance, it appears that there is no towbar installed. The system to place and remove the ball is very easy to use.
Yes, all towbars require an electrical connection to repeat the rear lighting functions of the vehicle on the trailer or load carrier.
In general, there are two types: the 7-pole kit, which is normally used for trailers of less than 750 kg or load carrier with a 7-pole connector. And the 13-pole kits that are mandatory for trailers over 750 kg as well as for caravans. The 13-pole kits are more functional systems, they incorporate the reversing light, as well as the direct positive so that the caravans can have an interior light and can maintain the temperature of the refrigerator when the vehicle is on the road.
