Thread: need Custom Towbar Hitch made

Treg Trailers at Underdale (SA) should be able to help. They specialise in that sort of stuff.

Been around for years as well.

The towbar itself already has a fair bit of a cantilever before you insert the goose neck. Good luck with finding someone to make up a tailor made solution for you.

We once had a cracked towbar and had the local engineering fabrication shop plate the towbar attachment points. You could try the locals.

I don't know if we have tightened up to the extent that this sort of thing is not able to be done other than by someone who will certify the design.

Agreed, that reciever on the tow bar does look to be out too far but its designed and rated for that truck which has a quite short distance to the rear axle, I'm unsure about certification but I was hoping a Towbar fabricator rather than a general engineer would have that covered, whatever the forces on the new tounge will be a lot less than the one on the truck.

have sent enquiry to Treg trailers per Basils post, their website certainly shows they have the gear and know how.

hayman reese
Hayman Reese - Interlock Trailer Ball Mount with adjustable 5 hole and Towball - Hayman Reese

pretty sure you can get these off the shelf with what ever drop you require
Hayman Reese - Interlock Trailer Ball Mount (300mm) and Towball - Hayman Reese

Mount that brown treg receiver upside down on a standard fixed drop hayman reece like Weeds posted and job's done I reckon.

Edit: Like this...

Just wondering why the hitch on " an off-road van" was designed so low?

not that low really, just the truck is high

I've got a feeling that Tregs will be quite expensive....

If you need a 2nd quote, we use these people, and they have always done an excellent job: Allin Towbars
