It mounts to a 50 mm (1.97 in) round tube drawbar using two M12 bolts and provides a secure connection to a towing setup. The coupling body is zinc plated to resist corrosion and features both wear and correct-attachment indicators for quick visual checks during service. R55 approval with D 15.8 kN and S 100 kg ratings confirms compliance for road use in the intended load range. Mounting holes on the side and top offer flexible fixing options to suit different trailer head arrangements. Supplied without a lock, it accepts the optional Maypole security lock and a soft dock to protect the towball and reduce noise.
