Towbar Fitting Leicester

Fixed towbars (also known as flange ball towbars) are permanently attached to your vehicle. They're the most economical option and ideal if you tow regularly. The towball remains visible at all times but provides a robust, reliable towing solution. Fixed towbars are suitable for most towing needs including caravans, trailers, and bike racks.

Detachable towbars can be easily removed when not in use, keeping your vehicle's appearance clean and unobstructed. They're available in swan neck and flange ball styles. While slightly more expensive than fixed options, detachable towbars are popular with drivers who prefer aesthetics or have parking sensors that could be affected by a permanent towbar.

Swan neck towbars feature a curved neck design with an integrated towball, offering a sleeker appearance than flange ball options. They're ideal for use with AL-KO stabilisers commonly fitted to caravans. Swan neck towbars are available in both fixed and detachable versions and are often the preferred choice for newer vehicles.

Towbar electrics connect your vehicle's lighting system to your trailer or caravan. 7-pin electrics provide basic lighting functions (indicators, brake lights, tail lights). 13-pin electrics offer additional features including reversing lights, permanent power for caravan batteries, and fridge connections. Modern vehicles often require dedicated wiring kits that integrate with the car's electronics.

Mobile towbar fitting services come to your home or workplace to install your towbar, offering maximum convenience. Professional mobile fitters carry all necessary equipment and can complete most installations in 2-3 hours. This is often the preferred option for busy customers who can't easily visit a workshop during working hours.
