Description
Overview:
This is a replacement trailer coupling head for AK270 type overrun brake assemblies, supplied with an integrated Soft-Dock protective surround (MPN 764 085). The coupling head forms the primary connection between the trailer drawbar and the towing vehicle's towball, providing secure attachment during towing. The Soft-Dock moulding helps protect vehicle bodywork and improves hand grip when positioning the trailer on and off the towball. Built for everyday trade use, it suits braked trailers used in plant hire, construction, utilities and general transport. The steel body provides a durable interface designed to withstand repeated coupling and uncoupling in fleet environments. Use this unit to replace a worn or damaged AK270 type head to restore safe and consistent hitching performance on compatible overrun units. Install and test the coupling head in line with the trailer manufacturer's service guidance and relevant towing regulations.
Key Features:
- AK270 type coupling head for like-for-like replacement on compatible overrun assemblies
- Integrated Soft-Dock protective bumper to help reduce cosmetic damage to the tow vehicle during hitching
- Robust steel construction suitable for professional and fleet use
- Hand-operated latch mechanism for secure engagement on the towball
- Textured protective surround improves grip when lifting and guiding the head onto the towball
- Suitable for use across a wide range of braked trailers in plant, construction and transport sectors
- Supplied as a coupling head assembly ready to fit to a matching AK270 type overrun unit
Typical Applications:
Used on braked road trailers and plant transporters equipped with AK270 type overrun brake assemblies. Common in plant hire fleets, site trailers, utility trailers and general-purpose braked trailers where a Soft-Dock protector is preferred to reduce the risk of scuffs to the towing vehicle during frequent coupling.
