Tow Hitch Receiver Bars

50mm and 100mm Drop Tow Hitch Receiver Bars

Tow-hitch receiver bars suit standard 50mm square towing assemblies.

What makes Couplemate receiver hitches different?

Most hitches are fabricated, which means they are welded. Welded parts generally have a weak spot at the weld.

When inverted, the shock loading on these welded parts often exceeds specifications or breaks load limits.

Couplemate cast receives hitches designed and tested to withstand the shock loading incurred during inversion.

Measurements

Measure the receiver hole before purchasing, as some holes are 40mm square.

Our 50mm hitch receivers are rated to 3.5t, and many of them are solid cast.

The tow bar rating nameplate or VIN plate identifies the actual load to be attached.

When buying a camper trailer or caravan, spend your money on a sturdy and reliable towing mechanism, especially if you’re going to the outback or heading to the shore.
