Ritter Hitch - Where did they go?

[Beery]

What happened to the Ritter Hitch?
I've been researching for a decent tow reciever for my parent's D4 to tow their 2.6t offroad single axle van.

I already knew about the Ritter hitch, but can find bugger all info about it.
Called Ritter yesterday to enquire, was told the person I needed was on call. Stl no call today.

I prefered the Ritter to the Mitch hitch which I thinkk sticks out too far with 250kg bearing down on it.

I didn't know there was any difference between them. Actually thought the Ritter was a direct rip off of the Mitch hitch?

No, the Ritter has a vertical hitch receiver and the Mitch has a horizontal one.

Don't know what their situation is re availability but here's an old'ish thread with some details:

I put one on a few months ago - actually, Ritter put it on.

I'll take some pictures and post them.

I have used it, no difference in towing feel to the standard LR one. The unit is a more snug fit though. Its very easy to attach the chains too - you don't have to bend down, as the attachment for the chain are high up, on the top of the unit.

Tonque not attached:

Looking down from above, the bar attachment sticks out about 50mm.

Sideways look at how far it sticks backwards and also its height (which is a bit higher now which is what I wanted:
