Fixed Towbars
Fixed towbars are permanently mounted to your vehicle and offer a reliable, cost-effective towing solution. They're ideal for drivers who tow regularly and don't mind the towball being visible when not in use.
Types of Fixed Towbars
Flange Ball (Bolt-on Towball)
The traditional fixed towbar design with a separate towball bolted to a flange plate.
- Towball can be removed (leaving the neck visible)
- Height can be adjusted with drop plates
- Compatible with most accessories
- Most economical option
Swan Neck Fixed
A sleeker design with the towball integrated into a curved neck.
- More streamlined appearance
- Works well with AL-KO stabilisers
- Towball cannot be removed
- Slightly more expensive than flange
Advantages of Fixed Towbars
- Lower cost: Most affordable towbar option
