Trailer Towbar Fitting Leicester

Whether you need to tow a small garden trailer, a box trailer for moving house, or a heavy-duty commercial trailer, our Leicester towbar fitters can set you up with the right equipment.

Types of Trailers

• Small unbraked trailers: Up to 750kg, no trailer brakes required

• Box trailers: For moving furniture and equipment

Towbar Selection for Trailers

For trailer towing, we typically recommend:

• Fixed flange ball: Most versatile and economical
• Heavy-duty towbar: For commercial or frequent use
• Height-adjustable towball: For different trailer heights

Electrics for Trailers

Most trailers only require 7-pin electrics for:

• Indicators and brake lights
• Tail lights and number plate light
• Rear fog light

Weight Considerations

When selecting a towbar for trailer use, consider:

• Maximum trailer weight (braked and unbraked)
• Noseweight capacity
• Your vehicle's towing limits
• Gross Train Weight (vehicle + trailer + loads)

Our Leicester towbar specialists can advise on the right setup for your specific trailer towing needs.
