KNOTT KQ14-A+KZE7.5 ball hitch for a 1400kg trailer with a V-type drawbar

The KQ14-A ball hitch with a KZE7.5 connector from KNOTT is designed for trailers with a maximum gross weight of 1400 kg . Equipped with a V-shaped drawbar adapter , it ensures a stable and secure connection to the towing vehicle. It has a permissible vertical load of 100 kg , ensuring optimal load distribution between the trailer and vehicle, ensuring stability and safety while driving. Its design allows for easy installation and removal, increasing user convenience.

The kit includes a KQ14-A ball hitch with a KZE7.5 connector, which acts as a mounting adapter. This component allows the square-connected ball hitch to be mounted on a V-shaped drawbar, ensuring a stable and snug connection to the trailer's structure. The connector also features a jockey wheel connection , making it easier to support the trailer while parked, maneuvering, and coupling to a vehicle. The kit also includes a 550 mm long breakaway rope with a snap hook , designed for unbraked trailers with a permissible gross weight of up to 750 kg, which acts as an emergency safety device in the event of the trailer becoming detached from the towing vehicle. Additionally, the kit includes a drawbar support , facilitating stable support and maneuvering of the trailer while parked and when connecting and disconnecting it from the towbar.

The set includes:

• KQ14-A ball hitch
• KZE7.5 connector with support wheel connection
• breakaway rope with snap hook for unbraked trailers up to 750 kg, length 550 mm
• drawbar support H-70 90/166

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

A tow ball wear indicator is a practical tool that allows users to monitor the technical condition of their tow ball and assess its suitability for continued use. Located on the outside of the tow ball, this indicator typically consists of simple markings or colors that indicate when the tow ball 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 tow ball, which is especially important for road safety and avoiding potential accidents related to damaged equipment.

Anti-corrosion protection

Made of high-quality steel , these ball couplings undergo a precise galvanizing process, which is key to their durability and reliability. This corrosion protection method 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, and temperature fluctuations. Galvanizing not only provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion but also significantly increases the coupling's resistance to mechanical damage.
