Description
Overview:
The 102 mm (4 inch) Drop Plate - 6 Hole Zinc Plated is a strong steel plate used to lower the height of a towball on vehicles fitted with a flange-type towbar. Made by Maypole, it is manufactured from heavy-duty steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in year-round UK conditions. The six-hole pattern offers multiple mounting positions, allowing you to achieve a drop of up to 102 mm (4 inch) for correct trailer or caravan coupling height. This helps set the trailer level and maintain safe nose weight. Suitable for cars, vans, 4x4s and light commercial vehicles used with trailers, caravans and plant trailers, it is a practical choice for tradespeople and DIY users who need a reliable, simple height adjustment solution.
Key Features:
