Couplemate: Leaders in Truck Pintle Towing & Safety Chain Equipment

Couplemate™ Trailer Parts leads the industry in heavy-duty truck pintle towing and safety chain equipment across Australia. Engineered for reliable performance in severe commercial and off-road conditions, Couplemate’s heavy-duty towing range keeps fleet operators, transport companies, and trailer builders fully compliant with strict Australian regulations.

Industry-Leading Pintle & Towing Solutions

Couplemate provides high-capacity, precision-engineered hardware tailored for rigid and hinged drawbar configurations. Their signature heavy-duty line includes:

• Truck Pintle Hooks & Combinations: Heavy-duty forged components, like the Couplemate CM504 20t Pintle Hook, are rated up to an 84kN D-value (20t ATM). They also offer versatile solutions, such as the 70mm Integral Ball x 10t Pintle Hook.
• Pintle Rings & Couplings: Options include robust 10t x 75mm Pintle Ring Couplings designed to withstand significant dynamic forces.
• Towing Accessories: Innovations like the Couplemate Pintle Hook Tow Ball Protector significantly mitigate shunt, dampen vibration noise, and extend tow ball lifespans.

Certified Safety Chain Equipment

For reliable secondary coupling protection, Couplemate provides fully certified safety gear to suit trailers over and under 3.5 tonnes:

• High-Tensile Chain Kits: Grade 80 rated safety chains, such as the 13mm Safety Chain Kit (3.5t ATM), provide the necessary control required during an unexpected coupling disconnect.
• Innovative Chain Holders: Legal, CTA-certified mounting options—including solutions that can be safely bolted directly to aluminium chassis rails.

Full CTA & RVS Compliance

Vehicle components must meet rigorous quality benchmarks under the Road Vehicle Standards (RVS) framework managed via the ROVER portal. Couplemate provides peace of mind by subjecting its heavy-duty components to destructive testing and independent engineering certification to secure a Component Type Approval (CTA) number.

Every commercial pintle hook, ring, and safety holder comes with verified CTA documentation, ensuring full road-legal compliance with Australian Design Rules (ADR 62/02) and National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) standards.
