Detachable Towbars: Could They Be The Best Choice For You?

Are you looking to have a towbar fitted to enable you to make better use of your car, to tow a trailer, caravan or tent? Perhaps you are wary of the complexities of having a towbar fitted or are put off by the fact that you are forced to consider that towbar when parking for the remainder of the time you own the car.

Although that may have been the case many years ago, towbar technology has come a long way in the last ten to twenty years, and detachable towbars are now one of the fastest-growing segments within the industry.

Detachable Towbars HolidayHow Does A Detachable Towbar Work, and Is It As Safe As A Standard Towbar?

As the name suggests, a detachable towbar is simply a towbar that can be removed from a vehicle in a matter of seconds. These types of towbars appeal to drivers who may only require the additional benefits that a towbar offers, several times a year.

For anyone concerned about the strength and safety of a detached towbar when compared to a fixed towbar, there is nothing to worry about.

A detachable towbar is tested to the same high standards as that of a fixed towbar and delivers the same levels of security and strength.

Additionally, a detachable towbar, much like a child’s car seat, will also have a built-in safety Indicator, which demonstrates to the user that the towbar is installed correctly and safe to use.

There is no room for confusion, as the indicator will either be green which means the towbar has been connected properly or red which means it has not.

What Are The Main Benefits of a Detachable Towbar?

  • In certain instances, a fixed towbar can interfere with the parking sensors of a vehicle. With a detachable towbar, this problem can be eliminated in seconds by removing the towbar.
  • Many people have experienced the pain or frustration of banging their leg against the towbar when putting heavy shopping into the boot of their vehicle. If the towbar is to be used infrequently, then it makes sense to remove this hazard and only fit the towbar as and when it is needed.
  • The Neck mechanism of a detachable towbar locks to the vehicle, meaning it cannot be stolen.
  • A detachable towbar is capable of carrying any ball mount cycle carrier.
  • All of our detachable towbars come complete with a storage bag, meaning that you can store the towbar in your boot without any fear of getting grease or oil on the inside of your vehicle or on whatever else is being transported in the boot.
