AL-KO AK270 ball hitch for 2700kg trailer with 50mm tubular drawbar
The AK 270 ball coupling from AL-KO is a solution for trailers and trailers with brakes weighing up to 2700 kg , with a maximum permissible vertical load of 120 kg . Designed for mounting on a 50 mm diameter pipe profile drawbar , it provides a solid and safe connection to the towing vehicle. Equipped with an ergonomic lever with a soft grip, it increases the comfort of use when connecting and disconnecting the trailer. The coupling has a Soft-Dock cover , which protects the rear of the vehicle from scratches and the user's legs from impacts during maneuvering, which makes it an ideal choice for people who value safety and comfort of use.
The 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 hitch wear indicator is a solution that significantly increases the safety and reliability of the trailer-vehicle connection. This precise monitoring system allows the user to easily and quickly assess the technical condition of the hitch without the need for specialist measurements. The indicator clearly informs about the degree of wear of the hitch ball, signaling the need for replacement before dangerous situations occur. Thanks to this, you can effectively prevent problems related to excessive wear, such as increased play or the risk of unexpected disconnection of the trailer while driving.
Correct engagement indicator
The correct coupling indicator in the ball hitch is a practical convenience that allows the user to quickly verify the correct connection between the trailer and the towing vehicle. Thanks to this indicator, the user can easily assess whether the hitch is correctly fastened, which increases safety during transport. In the event of incorrect coupling, the indicator signals the problem, which helps avoid potential failures or dangers on the road. This function minimizes the risk of errors when connecting the trailer, which is especially important for people who use trailers regularly.
Protection against incorrect engagement
The advanced design of the hitch eliminates the possibility of incorrect coupling . The key element of this system is the precisely developed locking mechanism, which prevents the hitch from closing if the ball of the towbar is not properly seated in the socket. This innovative solution significantly increases the safety of use, eliminating the risk of accidental disconnection of the trailer while driving and providing peace of mind to the driver.
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 electrolytic deposition of 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.
