Brink offers a wide variety of towbars and wiring kits to provide a quality and safe solution for virtually all car makes. Brink offers a wide range of towbars, allowing you to choose one that suits you. The beam assembly is similar to that of a conventional towbar, however, the towball on the front of the crossbeam is replaced with a fitting for attaching the detachable towbar. This towbar is as safe and strong as a fixed towbar. Achieving the correct towball pressure is vital before you take to the road. When the rear of the car is pushed down, the front of the car can be lifted from the road surface. In France, for example, it is permitted for caravan combinations to drive at speeds of 130 kilometres per hour, but that obviously results in increased fuel consumption. Most car drivers need to tow a trailer or caravan behind their car at sometime. The most important connection is the trailer coupling head which is attached to the towbar. Technical defects to the coupling head or sudden violent manoeuvres while driving can cause a trailer to become detached from the towing vehicle. This cable attaches the trailer coupling head to the towbar, ensuring that the trailer always remains attached to the car. As an additional safety measure, trailers with a braking system (mandatory with a total weight in excess of 750 kilos) are attached to the towing vehicle with a special breakaway cable. If the trailer becomes detached from the towbar, the breakaway cable applies the trailer (hand) brake immediately. When purchasing a used vehicle, check that the towbar is equipped with a fixing eye. Ensure that the cable is securely attached and that the trailer braking system is working correctly. Not only will a vehicle towing a caravan fitted with a stabiliser drive more comfortably, but it will be much safer to drive, as the stabiliser all but eliminates any risk of veering. Nowadays, vehicle manufacturers are also playing their part when it comes to ensuring the stability of the vehicle and trailer combination. Increasing numbers of new cars are being supplied with a system that intervenes if a trailer causes a car to veer off course: the car decelerates automatically and the brakes are applied. The coupling of a caravan or trailer that is fitted with a stabiliser is fitted with a special coupling head. If you are considering purchasing a stabiliser, it is important to check whether it is suitable for the towbar on your car. During the development of their towbars, Brink towbars make allowances for the use of stabilisers by ensuring that the distance between the towball and the bumper is sufficient. The loading of a caravan or trailer can greatly affect the road handling of the combination. The following tips will help you to load your vehicles correctly and ensure a safe journey. Before you attach a trailer to the car, it is vital that you are aware of the towing capacity of your vehicle.
