From commercial van fleets to weekend caravanners, these UK-made accessories provide the precision fit, strength, and flawless finish required for absolute peace of mind.

Core Accessory Categories & Engineering Highlights

1. Commercial Heavy-Duty Couplings & Jaw Kits

Built to handle the immense stress of high-capacity trade towing, Tow-Trust's commercial couplings are trusted across the UK infrastructure and utility fleet sectors.

• Pro-Tow Ball & Pin Jaws: Featuring an industry-leading 3500kg towing capacity, these combined systems allow fleet vehicles to seamlessly switch between standard 50mm hitch trailers and heavy-duty eyelet/pin trailer setups.

• Hardened Replacement Pins: Available in 25mm, 32mm, and 35mm variants, these replacement pins are hardened to resist structural fatigue and wear under heavy load cycles.

2. Fleet Safety & Rear Access Solutions

Tow-Trust doesn't just protect what you are towing; they protect your vehicle and your team.

• PRO-TECT Rear Under-Run Devices: Impact-tested protective barriers engineered specifically for commercial vans, absorbing low-speed rear-end impacts and shielding the chassis from expensive structural damage.

• PRO-STEP Rear Access Steps: Heavy-duty, high-traction steel steps that bolt seamlessly to the towbar framework, offering safe, slip-resistant vehicle entry and exit for trade operators, even when working in slick, rainy conditions.

3. Precision Height & Clearance Adjusters

No two trailers ride at the same height. Tow-Trust's heavy-gauge steel plates allow you to dial in a perfectly level, safe towing geometry.

• Heavy-Duty Drop Plates: Available in multi-hole configurations (including standard 3-inch/76mm variants) to lower the towball height, ensuring caravans or twin-axle plant trailers sit perfectly level to prevent dangerous trailer sway.

• Bespoke Spacer Plates: CNC-machined unpainted aluminum spacer plates (e.g., 25mm / 1-inch thickness) designed to extend towball clearance away from the vehicle faceplate—critical for vehicles with deep bumpers or rear-mounted spare wheels.

4. Vehicle & Component Protection

• Heavy-Duty Bumper Shield Plates: Thick-gauge steel plates finished in a high-durability coating that bolt directly behind a flange-type towbar. They protect the car's rear bumper from expensive scratch or puncture damage caused by accidental trailer overruns during hitching.

• Weatherproof Covers & Plugs: Precision-molded replacement housing caps and rubberized socket covers that prevent dirt, road salt, and water from fouling detachable mechanism locks or corroding electrical pins.
