For those of us who frequently travel with a trailer attached to our trucks, investing in high-quality truck towbars can help reduce the jarring effect that comes with lugging a heavy load behind us. The good news is that by seeking professionally installed bus and truck towbars, your heavy vehicle’s towing performance is likely to improve.
Whether it is one of MK Equipment Services’ custom-made towbars for heavy vehicles or the established range of heavy vehicle towbars that are on offer, going through a professional will ensure that the correct and high quality application is installed on your heavy vehicle.
Design of Truck Towbars and Buses
Typically, towbar trucks have rigid design and construction for bus and truck towbars, which are bolted and/or welded onto the frame or chassis of the heavy vehicle. This means that there is no flexibility in the towbar, causing all of the movement and vibrations of the towbar on the towing vehicle to be transferred to the drawbar and, therefore, the frame of the trailer.
This jarring effect will usually result in drawbar and chassis fatigue and, eventually, damage to the frame of the trailer. Getting professionally installed bus and truck towbars through MK Equipment Services affords you a choice of custom-made towbars for heavy vehicles or, alternatively, towing applications such as the SoftRide Towbar and the Delica Towbar.
Truck Towbars Towing Application
These particular heavy vehicle towbars are expertly designed to ensure a far more comfortable towing experience and, in turn, put considerably less stress and strain on the components, prevents metal fatigue, drawbar failure and chassis fatigue and damage.
For example, the SoftRide towbar assembly comprises a main frame, chassis mounting plates, torsion bar housings, a towbar receiver tube, a towbar tongue, at least two torsion bars, torsion bar rubber elements, bearing blocks and safety chain lugs. This particular range of heavy vehicle towbars works to smooth out the jarring and vibration effects that are typical when towing a trailer – especially when travelling over rough roads and terrain.
