Trailer Ball Couplings and Hitch Heads
Towing safety and the security of the connection between your vehicle and trailer depend directly on the quality of the ball coupling. This component absorbs all longitudinal loads during acceleration, braking, and driving over rough terrain, keeping the trailer securely attached to the tow ball under any road conditions.
The pricepy.com.ua online store offers certified ball couplings from European manufacturers AL-KO, KNOTT, and Winterhoff, engineered for both lightweight Kyiashko utility trailers and heavy commercial platforms.
Main Types and Classification of Ball Couplings
- For Light-Duty Trailers (up to 750 kg): Popular models from the AL-KO AK7, KNOTT K7.5, or Winterhoff WW8 series, typically installed on unbraked trailers with round or square drawbars of various dimensions (from 35 to 70 mm).
- For Medium and Heavy-Duty Trailers (1,000 to 2,700 kg and above): Heavy-duty units (such as KNOTT K14/K27 or AL-KO AK 161 / AK 270) designed to operate as part of overrun brake systems.
- Mounting Types and Drawbar Shapes: Our catalog includes options for round or square drawbars, V-shaped setups, as well as models with horizontal, vertical, or combined bolt-on mounting configurations.
How to Choose the Right Ball Coupling
For safe operation of the ball coupling, verify several key specifications before purchasing:
- Total Trailer Gross Weight: The coupling rating must match or exceed the combined weight of the trailer and cargo.
- Drawbar Shape and Diameter/Width: Exact tube dimensions (for example, round 50 mm, 60 mm, or square 40, 50, 60, 70 mm).
- Tow Ball Diameter: The standard European size is 50 mm.
- Safety / Wear Indicator: Modern models are often equipped with visual markers that confirm proper locking on the tow ball.
