Tow Bars

Explore

AI Fleet Ltd in Norwich supplies and fits the premium range of Tow-Trust Towbars, one of the UK’s largest manufacturers of certified towing equipment. All Tow-Trust products provided by AI Fleet are designed, manufactured, and rigorously tested to strict Regulation 55 safety standards, ensuring structural integrity and peace of mind.

AI Fleet’s mobile installation team supplies and expertly installs the following core Tow-Trust configurations directly at your home or workplace across Norfolk:

1. Fixed Flange Ball Towbars

The traditional, heavy-duty standard for towing in the UK.

  • The Design: Features a bolt-on towball attached to a rugged faceplate that remains permanently fixed to the vehicle.

  • Best Used For: Commercial vans, 4x4s, and serious commercial towing.

  • Key Benefit: It is the most versatile option for accessories. The faceplate allows you to bolt on standard 50mm towballs, AL-KO towballs, jaw-and-pin couplings, bumper guards, or heavy-duty steps. It also allows you to tow a trailer and mount a bolt-on cycle carrier simultaneously.

2. Fixed Swan Neck Towbars

A slimmer, more modern option that mirrors the look of Euro-style factory installations.

  • The Design: The towball and the neck are formed as a single, sleek piece of curved steel permanently mounted to the car.

  • Best Used For: Passenger cars, SUVs, and domestic towing.

  • Key Benefit: Because of its narrow profile, it is much less likely to inadvertently trigger reversing parking sensors when you aren't towing. It is also natively compatible with AL-KO stabilizer hitches without requiring a special replacement towball.

3. Detachable Swan Neck Towbars (VK Systems)

Tow-Trust's premium domestic solution, designed for drivers who want towing capabilities without compromising their vehicle's aesthetics.

  • The Design: Features a high-security lockable neck (supplied with two keys) that can be completely detached when not in use.

  • The "Invisible" Finish: The majority of Tow-Trust's detachable swan necks utilize a vertical (VK) loading system. Once the neck is unclipped and placed in its provided storage bag, the entire housing and structural crossbar are completely hidden out of sight behind the rear bumper.

  • Key Benefit: Zero interference with factory rear parking sensors, no changes to the lines of your car, and it comes equipped with a fold-away electrical plate that tucks behind the bumper when not in use.

4. Detachable Flange Towbars

A hybrid system that blends the heavy-duty utility of a flange faceplate with the convenience of a removable neck.

  • The Design: Allows the entire flange faceplate assembly to be unclipped and removed from the vehicle frame.

  • Key Benefit: Ideal for drivers who need to swap between various commercial couplings or carry bolt-on bike racks, but want the ability to strip the bar away on weekends to keep parking sensors clear and prevent barked shins.

Vehicle-Specific Electrical Wiring Kits

A towbar is only as good as its wiring. Rather than utilizing cheap bypass relays that tap blindly into your rear lights, AI Fleet specializes in fitting Vehicle-Specific Wiring Kits (available in standard 7-pin or full-functioning 13-pin Euro configurations).

ECU Integration: These intelligent wiring looms plug directly into your vehicle’s factory electrical network. Once installed, they communicate seamlessly with the onboard Engine Control Unit (ECU) to automatically adjust the vehicle’s safety parameters when a trailer or caravan is connected—optimizing Trailer Stability Control (TSC), adjusting braking/ABS profiles, and safely disabling rear parking sensors and fog lights.
