Description
Overview:
The Maypole 50mm High Reach Tow Ball is a heavy-duty steel towing ball designed to suit AL-KO couplings, offering extra clearance around stabiliser heads and coupling housings. Finished in a durable black coating, it provides a secure, long‐lasting connection between a towbar and trailer. With Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) 5005B, it is engineered for demanding use on cars, vans, 4x4s and pickups towing plant, utility or equipment trailers. The high-reach/extended-neck form helps prevent foul on stabiliser couplings and improves articulation on uneven ground. Rated with a D value of 17.2 kN and an S (nose weight) value of 350 kg, it delivers dependable performance where strength and safety matter. Commonly paired with AL-KO stabiliser couplings such as AKS 2004 or AKS 3004.
Key Features:
- 50 mm tow ball size for standard UK and EU trailer couplings
- High-reach/extended-neck design to give clearance for AL-KO stabiliser heads and coupling housings
- D value 17.2 kN and S (vertical load) 350 kg for confident use under heavy towing demands
- Robust steel construction with a hard-wearing black finish for corrosion resistance
- Precision-machined ball for smooth coupling engagement and reduced wear
- Designed to suit AL-KO couplings while remaining compatible with many standard 50 mm heads
- Standard two-bolt flange mounting for straightforward installation on most UK flange towbars
- Secure, stable connection helps reduce noise and improve towing stability when correctly installed
- Branded quality from Maypole; MPN 5005B for easy identification and reordering
Typical Applications:
Used on work vehicles and family 4x4s for towing plant trailers, builders' trailers, equipment and utility trailers, car transporters, and general-duty trailers. The extended neck is especially useful where AL-KO stabiliser couplings are fitted or where additional clearance is needed around the coupling body and friction pads, helping maintain free articulation on rough ground and when loading.
