Description
Overview:
The 50mm Forged Tow Ball by Maypole is a heavy-duty towing attachment for vehicles fitted with a two-bolt towbar plate. Made from forged steel for high strength and finished with a bright zinc plating, it provides a secure connection between your vehicle and a trailer coupling. The 50 mm ball size (about 1.97 in) matches standard UK and EU trailer couplings, while the 90 mm hole centres (about 3.54 in) suit common two-bolt mounting plates. Rated to a towing capacity of up to 2,000 kg (approximately 4,409 lb), it is suitable for everyday and commercial towing tasks, from goods trailers to small plant and garden machinery trailers. Its corrosion-resistant finish helps it stand up to year-round outdoor use.
