At AutoSolutions, we specialise in providing top-quality tow-bar systems and installations tailored to meet the modern needs of vehicle technology. With advancements in vehicle electronics, the importance of having a vehicle-specific wiring kit for your tow-bar system cannot be overstated. This ensures that various integral vehicle systems can properly recognise and interact with the trailer when connected.
Vehicle-Specific Wiring Kits
Modern vehicles are equipped with complex electronic systems that must 'see' the trailer to function correctly. These systems include:
- Brake Electronics: Ensures that your vehicle’s braking system responds correctly when towing.
- Suspension System (ASS): Adjusts automatically to maintain performance and safety when under load.
- Engine Electronics: Modifies engine parameters to optimise power and efficiency when towing.
- Engine Cooling System: Increases cooling during towing to prevent overheating.
- Cruise Control: Adjusts to maintain consistent speed while accounting for the added weight of the trailer.
- Parking Aids: Alters sensitivity and parameters to accommodate the different dimensions when a trailer is attached.
Types of Tow-bars
We offer a variety of tow-bar types to suit different preferences and requirements, each providing unique benefits:
- Fixed Flange Tow bar: The most traditional and versatile type, ideal for those who need to attach additional accessories like bike racks or protective steps. Its robust design allows for the use of accessories like bumper protectors and various coupling options.
- Fixed Swan Neck Tow bar: Favoured for its sleeker appearance, this type is less likely to trigger parking sensors when not in use. It is compatible with AL-KO stabilisers and doesn’t require a pin and ball to tow, making it a preferred choice for caravan owners in Europe.
- Vertical Detachable Tow bar: Offers a premium aesthetic as it can be completely removed when not in use, preserving the natural look of your vehicle. Ideal for drivers who value aesthetics as well as functionality, and who use their tow bar occasionally.
- Horizontal Detachable Tow bar: Provides a practical, cost-effective solution for those who need the functionality of a detachable tow bar but at a more affordable price point. This type is easy to handle and store when detached.
- Built-in Commercial Adjustable Height Towbars: Engineered for commercial vehicles, offering adjustable height to cater to different towing requirements and loads. This type is particularly useful for professional towing and heavy-duty applications.
Tow bar Accessories
To complement our tow bar solutions, we also offer a range of accessories, including the versatile Ball and Pin system which adapts easily for different towing requirements.
Each of our tow bar installations comes with a professional fitting service, ensuring that every component is installed according to the highest standards.
