Our cast coupling range can support loads ranging from ranging from 375Kg to 3500Kg with tube sizes of 60mm, 70mm (up to 1700Kg load), 80mm, 100mm and 120mm.
The grab handles enables easy manoeuvring of the trailer without handling the coupling head, towing eye or handbrake lever which often leads to damage or dirty hands.
Unique components, bespoke to overrun coupling requirements have replaced the typical “gas strut” components. In laboratory tests the overrun damper achieved up to 40 times the life of traditional dampers, giving you peace of mind.
The oil damping to the spring in the energy store allows gentle and progressive application of the handbrake once the handbrake has passed “over centre”.
The breakaway cable is one of the most important mandatory components on the trailer. It needs regular checking and, if damaged, replacing. Cast couplings have a simple method of replacement with a clevis and pin instead of a difficult burst ring. The carabiner style front fitting allows simple attachment to a fixed point on the towing vehicle.
The locking handle is wound into the jockey bracket and the pressure pad slots over the end of the handle. The handle then withdraws the pad securely into the housing casting where it is retained, making it impossible for either the pad or the handle to be lost.
Our couplings can be supplied with a cable guide for the breakaway cable. This is a simple pressing that can be fitted under the nut of the coupling head bolt. This guide ensures that, in the unlikely event of the trailer detaching from the towing vehicle, the breakaway cable will pull in the forward direction and apply the handbrake lever correctly.
