3.5t AL-KO Off-Road Coupling: Rated 3.5T

3.5t AL-KO off-road coupling offers a lower-profile ball than other off-road ball couplers.

Engineered by AL-KO in Australia, specifically for extreme off-road adventures. The new AL-KO Off-Road Ball Coupling incorporates extreme vertical and horizontal articulation, along with a quick & easy hitching design that requires no pin-or-hole alignment.

The low-profile park brake is available for purchase here.

Please note: If your Ford Ranger has a receiver bar on the side, this coupling will not work with your receiver.

Tow Ball Hitches and Receiver Kits

Important: We recommend that all off-road couplings, regardless of brand, use a solid cast receiver hitch. Hollow receivers have a welded tongue that can distort under extreme off-road conditions and during shock-loading events on the highway.

Couplemate manufactures a range of cast tow bar receivers and hitches in Australia and tests them to Australian road conditions.

Additionally, the AL-KO coupling, featuring a dual locking system, can be retrofitted to existing caravans and camper trailers.

Snap locks closed
R-clip or lynchpin acts as a double lock to help prevent accidental unhitching from the tow vehicle.

Caravan owners with low-rear doors rate this AL-KO low-profile coupler as one of the best couplings on the market.

Features

Featuring 360-degree head articulation and a positive tow ball latching system, it is ideal for extreme off-road adventures. The Al-ko Off-Road Coupling is easy to fit and requires no difficult pin or hole alignment.

The new AL-KO Off-Road Ball Coupling incorporates extreme vertical and horizontal Articulation. Furthermore, the quick & easy hitching design requires no pin or hole alignment. We took to the Victorian High Country to push it to its limits through all sorts of off-road terrain.

Fatigue-tested to 2 million cycles, the Al-ko Off-Road Coupling is available from all good trailer parts and off-road trailer retailers.

Furthermore, vibration fatigue is a compelling reason to have shock absorbers. Rough, corrugated roads create wear and tear on shock absorbers and electric brake magnets.

Further, consider the following when selecting a coupling:

Type of brakes used?
Maximum loaded trailer weight?
Can I use a 50mm ball, or do I need a ring-type attachment?

Extra Clearance: High Shoulder Tow Balls

Extreme angles cause the AL-KO coupling to contact the tow hitch tongue, causing damage.

Purchase a high-rise tow ball to provide extra clearance over uneven ground.
