Couplemate Tow Ball Protector

Minimises abrupt shunt, increases tow ball lifespan with pintle rings, and ensures a smooth, quiet tow.

Product Description

The Couplemate Tow Ball Protector is engineered to resolve the harsh metal-on-metal impacts experienced when towing with pintle rings. By buffering the connection between your trailer and tow vehicle, this innovative protector absorbs shocks and eliminates the heavy jerking motions that accelerate component wear.

Built tough for Australian conditions, it delivers a significantly quieter ride by dampening operational rattle. It serves as a vital safeguard for your towing setup, protecting your investment over long distances and demanding terrains.

Key Features & Specifications

  • Shunt Mitigation: Drastically minimises the abrupt shunt between the trailer and tow vehicle.
  • Enhanced Durability: Substantially increases tow ball lifespan when towing with heavy-duty pintle rings.
  • Noise Reduction: Absorbs vibrations and reduces annoying metal noises for a premium, smooth towing experience.
  • Standard Compatibility: Precision-moulded to suit all standard Australian-compliant tow balls.
  • Adaptable Fitment: If your tow ball is non-compliant, you can easily carve the inner core housing with a knife to ensure the outer housing slides over smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I install it on a non-compliant tow ball?
A: If your tow ball varies from Australian standards, you can manually carve the inside of the protector using a utility knife. This modification allows the outer housing to fit snugly over the inner core structure.
Q: Why should I use a protector with a pintle ring?
A: Pintle rings cause high impact and friction against standard tow balls. The protector creates a resilient buffer sleeve that stops harsh slamming, dampens noises, and preserves the metal components.
