need Custom Towbar Hitch made

[goingbush]

Anybody know a custom Towbar fabricator in Melb / Adelaide
I need to get a custom towbar tounge made, basically I want to remove un-necessary canterlever effect and get rid of the plough tyne on the bottom.

Images might help explain, I want something like the photoshopped bottom picture , but I dont want to chop up my existing bar incase I ever need to tow other stuff.

its for the Treg hitch on my offroad van

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.

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

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....
