Our Australian team of engineers, technicians and machinists developed our hitches. To this day, all Couplemate™ tow hitch receivers are made in our local Brisbane warehouse.

Purchasing our hitches not only supports the Australian economy but also provides you and your family with safe equipment.

Our newest addition to our solid cast hitch range is our Adjustable Tow Hitch series. Adjustable receivers are increasingly popular in our industry, especially among 4WD enthusiasts and tradespeople with multiple work trailers.

Towing is essential to Australia, now more than ever. Having a proper hitch to connect your vehicle to your trailer is necessary for your safety and for other drivers on the road.

Couplemate™ manufactures strong towbar tongues and hitch receivers in Brisbane, Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common hitch for towing?

In Australia, the most common hitch you’ll see is designed for a 50mm tow ball. Couplemate™ offers these in a 50mm, 100mm, or an Adjustable Drop.

The best hitch for you will depend on multiple factors, such as your towbar specifications, your drawbar height, and the weight you plan to tow.

What is the best hitch for off-road?

If you’re looking to explore the off-road, you must use a solid cast receiver hitch. Hollow receivers often have welded tongues that are significantly weaker than the cast-iron tongues on our counterparts.

Hollow and welded receivers will distort in extreme off-road conditions and under shock-loading events on the Bruce Highway.

If you have a DO35 or AL-KO off-road coupling, opt for a genuine Couplemate™ tow hitch receiver. This will provide a strong connection between you, your vehicle, and your trailer.

Why do you also offer hollow receivers?

No, we stopped selling hollow receivers due to weld weaknesses that can occur when the receiver is inverted.

Necessary: Check your Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM) before committing to a towbar receiver hitch.
