They are a good choice of towbar as they are very versatile and durable, and are the ideal if you require a towbar for cycle carriers, as they enable you to carry bikes and tow simultaneously, as long as your load falls within the weight limit. They are also a popular choice for towing both caravans and heavy trailers as they have an adjustable height setting and can support heavier loads than other options like the detachable swan neck towbar .
In addition, you can fit a bumper protector at the same time as the towbar, allowing you to protect your paintwork against damage. Our expert towbar fitters have over 20 years of experience in fitting fixed flange ball towbars, and can fit one for you in just a few hours.
Swan Neck Towbars Swan neck towbars are a newer alternative to flange balls, and you can choose between a detachable one and a fitted one. Although swan neck towbars are a good choice if you have a parking sensor fitted, they are not always compatible with every vehicle type. Unlike flange ball towbars, swan neck ones will not trigger any sensors when you are reversing the vehicle, as they have a compact design allowing you to easily access the boot. Although they are usually more expensive than flange towbars, they can be used as a bicycle carrier , however you can't tow a load at the same time as having your bicycle carrier attached.

Laws And Regulations When using towbar to tow a caravan or trailer, you need to ensure you are complying with current legislation, and are fully safe in doing so. There are certain laws about the weight you can legally tow, and these laws differ if you passed your driving test after the 1st of January 1997, so make sure you find out the restrictions before you start towing an unknown load on the roads. When towing heavy loads, you must obtain a C1+E category licence , which will allow you to tow 8.25 tonnes. Your number plate must be fully visible, and should appear on the back of the trailer so you can see it from behind, and some speed restrictions apply as you must not use the fast lane of a motorway or exceed 60 miles per hour.
