STEELPRESS BC-3000C-00-00+Z3 ball hitch for 3000kg trailer with 35-50mm pipe drawbar, cast iron
STEELPRESS BC-3000C-00-00+Z3 ball hitch for 3000kg trailer with 35-50mm pipe drawbar, cast iron
The BC-3000C-00-00 ball coupling from STEELPRESS is a robust and reliable solution for heavy trailers and flatbeds with a total weight of up to 3,000 kg . The coupling head has a cast body, and the lever is made of steel, ensuring high durability and load resistance. Designed for mounting on an overrun device or a drawbar with a 35-50 mm tubular profile , it guarantees a stable and secure connection to the towing vehicle. Its permissible vertical load of up to 300 kg enables the transport of heavy loads while maintaining optimal weight distribution. Thanks to its robust design and high-quality workmanship, the BC-3000C-00-00 hitch is the ideal choice for professionals and demanding users, ensuring safety even in the most demanding operating conditions. The head is equipped with a locking latch that prevents accidental disconnection of the hitch while driving, increasing transport safety.
The set consists of: coupling head, reduction adapters, mounting screws, Safety Dock and rubber cover for the overrun device. The Safety Dock protects the rear of the vehicle from scratches and the user's legs from impacts during maneuvering , while a rubber boot covers the slider tube, protecting the overrun mechanism from dirt and moisture. Adapters make the hitch head compatible with overrun devices with a slider tube diameter of 35 mm to 50 mm .
The STEELPRESS coupling head is DEKRA certified – issued by an independent German testing and certification body. This certifies that the product has been tested under controlled conditions for compliance with safety and quality requirements, including strength and fatigue testing, wear and corrosion resistance , proper operation of the locking mechanism , and dimensional accuracy . This clearly indicates to the user that the coupling meets high standards and has been verified by independent experts – ensuring the safety of the set and longer, trouble-free operation .
A ball hitch is a component mounted on the trailer's drawbar, used to securely connect the trailer to the towing vehicle . Its design allows for stable seating on the tow ball, ensuring a secure connection and smooth trailer movement while driving. Using a ball hitch is important because it minimizes the risk of the trailer becoming detached during transport and ensures proper trailer control, especially during turns and maneuvering. Using a ball hitch increases the safety and comfort of transporting various loads.
Consumption monitoring
The ball hitch wear indicator is a solution that significantly improves the safety and reliability of the trailer-to-vehicle connection. This precise monitoring system allows the user to quickly and easily assess the technical condition of the hitch without the need for specialized measurements. The indicator clearly displays the level of wear of the hitch ball, signaling the need for replacement before dangerous situations arise. This effectively prevents problems related to excessive wear, such as increased play or the risk of unexpected trailer disconnection while driving.
Correct engagement indicator
Correct engagement indicator in the ball hitch is a practical convenience that allows the user Quickly verify the correct connection between the trailer and the towing vehicle . This indicator allows the user to easily assess whether the hitch is properly engaged, increasing safety during transport. If the coupling is incorrectly engaged, the indicator signals a problem, helping to avoid potential breakdowns or road hazards. This feature minimizes the risk of errors when connecting the trailer, which is especially important for those who use trailers regularly .
Anti-corrosion protection
Made of high-quality cast iron, these towballs undergo a precise galvanizing process, which is key to their durability and reliability. This effective corrosion protection method involves coating the cast iron surface of the towball with a layer of zinc, creating a durable protective coating. The resulting layer creates an effective barrier against aggressive atmospheric factors such as moisture, road salt, and temperature fluctuations. Galvanizing not only provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion but also significantly increases the towball's resistance to mechanical damage. This process is particularly important for cast iron, which, while durable, is susceptible to corrosion. Thanks to galvanizing, cast iron towballs combine the high strength of cast iron with excellent resistance to external factors, ensuring long-lasting and reliable operation in a variety of conditions .
