2t Trailer Coupling (101.6mm x 13.5mm)

2t Trailer Coupling, a two-hole zinc Snap or, more precisely, the Spring Release Coupling.

Snap couplings are spring-loaded to enable the collar to snap and lock upon closing the coupling.

Available in:

  • 2-hole couplings
  • 3-hole couplings

2000kg snap couplings have a feature where an R Clip can secure the handle and help prevent accidental unlocking.

  • Also listed here is an imported four-hole x 2t coupling
  • Use Snap couplings on trailers and marine trailers without brakes
  • Hole Spacings 101.6mm x 13.5mm

We recommend using 1/2-inch Grade 8 high-tensile bolts to secure the 2000kg AL-KO coupling to the trailer frame.

‘Couplings’ designed between tow vehicles and trailers with an ‘ATM’ up to 3.5 tonnes must be ‘Quick Release Couplings’.

FAQ: 2T x 2-Hole Trailer Coupling (50mm Ball)

✔️ Do’s
  • Check capacity: Ensure your total trailer weight (ATM) does not exceed the 2,000kg (2 Tonne) rating.
  • Match the ball: Use this coupling only with a standard 50mm tow ball to prevent accidental uncoupling.
  • Secure the bolts: Use high-tensile bolts to mount the 2-hole flange and torque them tightly to specification.
  • Lubricate regularly: Keep the internal locking mechanism greased for smooth operation and less wear.

❌ Don’ts
  • Do not overload: Never use this component on trailers heavier than 2 tonnes.
  • Don’t ignore the pin: Never tow without ensuring the safety hitch pin or locking lever is fully engaged.
  • Avoid mismatching: Do not attempt to fit this onto a 1-7/8″ or any non-50mm sized tow ball.
  • Don’t modify: Never drill out the 2 mounting holes or alter the housing, as it compromises structural integrity.
