WINTERHOFF WW8-D40 ball hitch for 800kg trailer with 40mm square drawbar

WINTERHOFF WW8-D40 ball hitch for 800kg trailer with 40mm square drawbar

The WW 8-D40 ball coupling from WINTERHOFF is designed for trailers with a maximum total weight of 800 kg. Designed for mounting on a 40 mm square drawbar , it provides a stable and safe connection to the towing vehicle. It is characterized by a permissible vertical load of 75 kg, which ensures optimal load distribution between the trailer and the vehicle, guaranteeing stability and safety while driving. Its design allows for easy assembly and disassembly, which increases the comfort of use. Thanks to its precise workmanship and compatibility with a wide range of trailers, this coupling is a reliable solution for users who value quality and safety in the transport of light loads.

A ball hitch is an element mounted on the trailer drawbar, which is used to safely connect the trailer to the towing vehicle. Thanks to its design, it allows for stable seating on the towbar ball, which ensures a safe connection and smooth movement of the trailer while driving. Using a ball hitch is important because it minimizes the risk of the trailer becoming detached during transport and ensures proper control over the trailer, especially when turning and maneuvering. Using a ball hitch increases the safety and comfort of transporting various loads.

Consumption monitoring

The ball coupling wear indicator is a practical tool that allows users to monitor the technical condition of the coupling and assess its suitability for further use. Located on the outside of the coupling, this indicator usually consists of simple markings or colors that indicate when the coupling is in good condition and when it needs to be replaced. Regularly checking the wear indicator helps prevent breakdowns and increases safety during transport. This makes it easier for users to decide whether to service or replace the coupling, which is especially important in the context of road safety and avoiding potential accidents related to damaged equipment.

Anti-corrosion protection

Ball couplings, made of high-quality steel, undergo a precise galvanizing process, which is a key element of their durability and reliability. This method of anti-corrosion protection involves electrolytically depositing a thin, uniform layer of zinc on the steel surface of the coupling. The resulting coating creates an effective barrier against atmospheric factors such as moisture, road salt or temperature fluctuations. Galvanizing not only provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion, but also significantly increases the coupling's resistance to mechanical damage.
