STEELPRESS BC-1200C ball hitch for 1200kg trailer with 50mm tubular drawbar
STEELPRESS BC-1200C ball hitch for 1200kg trailer with 50mm tubular drawbar
The BC-1200C ball coupling from STEELPRESS is a robust and reliable solution for trailers and flatbed trailers with a total weight of up to 1200 kg . Designed for mounting on a 50 mm tubular drawbar and on an overrun device with a 50 mm diameter slider tube , it guarantees a stable and secure connection to the towing vehicle. A permissible vertical load of 100 kg allows for proper weight distribution and safe transport of heavier loads. Thanks to its durable design and high-quality workmanship, the BC-1200C model is suitable for professionals and demanding users, ensuring safety even in difficult operating conditions. The head is equipped with a locking latch that prevents accidental disconnection of the coupling while driving, increasing transport safety .
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 steel , these ball couplings undergo a precise galvanizing process, which is key to their durability and reliability. Galvanizing involves coating the coupling's surface with a layer of zinc, creating an effective barrier against atmospheric factors such as moisture, road salt, and temperature fluctuations. The resulting coating provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion and significantly increases the coupling's resistance to mechanical damage .
