Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the correct coupling rating?

Use the trailer’s aggregate trailer mass and choose a coupling rated at or above that figure. Trailer couplings also need to match the drawbar, mounting holes and braking system. Do not choose by ball size alone. Check the manufacturer markings on the existing unit, then compare the bolt pattern, override travel and handbrake layout where fitted before selecting a replacement.

When should I use a pintle hook instead of a tow ball?

Pintle systems suit applications that need a robust connection and greater movement between the tow vehicle and trailer. They are common on work, agricultural and some off-road trailers. A standard tow ball setup is often quieter and simpler for regular road use. Base the choice on the trailer’s matching eye or coupling, required rating and intended use, not on appearance or price alone.

What is the difference between override and electric brake couplings?

An override coupling uses the trailer’s forward movement against the tow vehicle to apply compatible mechanical or hydraulic brakes. Electric trailer brakes use a controller and electrical signal, so the coupling does not perform the same braking action. Match the coupling to the installed brake system. Changing between systems usually involves more than replacing the coupling and may require other approved components.

Can I repair a coupling instead of replacing it?

Some faults can be fixed with the correct pin, lever, spring, master cylinder, bolt or other approved spare part. Replace the full unit if the body is cracked, badly worn, bent or no longer locks as designed. For trailer couplings, avoid mixing parts from unrelated models. Use the maker’s part details and inspect the drawbar mounting area before deciding on a repair.
