General operating authorization (ABE) and ECE - product certification (Homologation).

They comply with CE directives, are tested, and approved for the French market. It is not necessary to have the towbar approved by an expert or inspector after installation or to have it registered in the vehicle papers.

What is the towing capacity? The towing capacity defines the maximum total weight that a vehicle equipped with an appropriate tow hook can tow a trailer. Depending on the type and version of the vehicle (engine power), this may vary.

You can find the maximum permissible trailer load for your vehicle in your registration document. Where can I find this entry in the vehicle documents? Depending on the age of the vehicle, you will find the value in the vehicle registration document. Take the value from section F.3 and subtract it from the value in section F.

To calculate the maximum permissible towing capacity for the vehicle. In exceptional cases, this value can be increased by calculation. Please observe the indications in the vehicle registration document - especially for slope indications. For the towbars we offer, you will find the maximum permissible trailer load of the towbar in the product data view. Important: If the maximum towing capacity of the vehicle and the trailer towbar are not identical, the lower value always applies. Example: If the maximum permissible trailer load of 1,500 kg is indicated in the vehicle document, but the associated towbar has a tested trailer load of 1,800 kg, only 1,500 kg can still be towed. Under certain conditions, an increase in the trailer load may be requested for the vehicle. This requires approval from the respective vehicle manufacturer, such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes...

The vehicle must then be presented to an expert. With the test certificate you receive from them, you can have the change registered in your vehicle documents at the registration office. The authorized trailer load in kilograms can be determined as follows: Formula for calculating value D: (Total weight Towing capacity 9.81) / (Total weight + Towing capacity) Formula for calculating the towing capacity: (value D Total weight) / (Total weight 9.81 - value D) Formula for calculating total weight: (value D Trailer load) / (Trailer load 9.81 - value D) Formula for calculating static mass according to the 4% rule: Towing capacity 0.04 GF = (maximum authorized vehicle weight in kg) see vehicle registration D = (value D in kN) see identification plate/installation instructions for the towbar.

What is a bumper cut-out? When cutting the bumper, a piece of the bumper is cut out from the rear of the vehicle. It is important to note that there are visible and non-visible bumper cut-outs. This individually depends on the design of the bumper.

Manufacturers of towbar brands always strive to avoid bumper cut-outs. If this is not possible, the cut-out is limited to the strictly necessary. If the bumper needs to be modified, you can always find it in the respective installation instructions of the item. If a cut-out is necessary, you will also find the dimensions or a template that defines the desired cut-out size.

Tip: For cutting, use a jigsaw with a fine saw blade, as it allows for very easy and precise work on plastic. To smooth the cut edges again, you can carefully heat them using a lighter.

Professionals can also do this with a Bunsen burner or a "Blue-Fire". But maintain enough distance to achieve perfect shaping. The maximum weight that can be applied vertically from above on the ball of the trailer towbar. The permitted vertical load of the vehicle can be found in the vehicle manual under the point "using a trailer". The maximum static mass of each towing device is indicated on the one hand on the approval plate and on the other hand in the installation instructions. Tip: If you want to mount a bicycle rack with an electric bike on your trailer towbar, you must absolutely pay attention to a high static mass. Important: What if the vertical load values between the vehicle and the trailer towbar are not identical? Example: If the manufacturer has allowed a maximum vertical load of 75 kg for the vehicle and the trailer towbar has an approved vertical load of 60 kg, it is the value of the towbar that is decisive. In this example, that would be 60 kg. In this case, the lower value always applies. This value of a trailer towbar is expressed in kilo-Newtons and serves as the basis for calculating the permissible trailer load.

Value D is determined and verified once and therefore remains unchanged. Only value D and the permitted vertical load are indicated on the approval plate of the trailer towbar. The indication of value D allows for determining the bandwidth during a modification acceptance according to § 19 (3) StVZO (German Road Traffic Regulations).

For example, it is possible to modify the maximum authorized weight by varying the towed load accordingly, without a new inspection. The required value D according to Directive 94/20/EC can be determined as follows: GF = (maximum authorized vehicle weight in kg) see vehicle registration GA = (permitted towing capacity of the vehicle in kg) see vehicle registration. What is a foldable socket? The socket is mounted on a support plate with a hinge and can be folded under the bumper.

This is not a requirement, but simply an improvement of the visual appearance. Many removable and pivoting trailer towbars are equipped with retractable sockets. We even have some rigid towbars with this feature in our range. Info: The construction of a towing device with a foldable socket support plate depends on the presence of sufficient space between the cross tube of the tow hook and the rear part of the vehicle.

Is a registration at the technical inspection required? Almost all the trailer towbars in our range have an approval plate and are therefore controlled according to the directive "94/20". Such a towbar can be used on public roads without further expertise. According to Article 27, paragraph 1 of the StVZO (German Road Traffic Regulations), a trailer towbar retrofitted with an approval plate need only be added during the "next consultation of the vehicle papers" with the registration office.

However, according to clause 1a, any possible modification of the authorized towing capacity resulting from the installation of the towing device must be reported immediately. After the installation of a trailer towbar requiring an individual inspection at the technical inspection, we provide a certificate, with which you must have an individual inspection carried out after the installation. You will receive a document with which you must have an immediate registration on your vehicle papers with the registration office. National mark (M, F, N). The same conditions as for the individual technical inspection procedure apply here.

The only difference is that these trailer towbars have a permanently assigned approval certification. Info: A towing device that has been tested according to EC94/20 meets the following criteria: - the trailer towbar has a valid approved plate with all necessary data - the distance between the ball joint and the bumper and the roadway complies with the requirements. The construction passed the dynamic endurance test with 2 million load changes. All fixing points prescribed by the vehicle manufacturer have been respected.

Important: The installation instructions must be attached to the vehicle papers and must be in the vehicle! What is the installation duration? The installation time of a towbar is indicated by the manufacturer of the towbar itself. This time is limited exclusively to the assembly of the product. This time does not take into account, for example, the installation or positioning of the bumper.

Tips To avoid calculation errors, calculate the specified indicative values with a factor of two. Experience shows that this comes closest to the actual installation time. What is a socket support plate?

The socket, whether 7 or 13 poles, is always fixed to the socket support plate with 3 screws. Some trailer towbars are even equipped with a folding function.

What is an approval plate? Every towing device must be equipped with an approval plate in order not to invalidate the vehicle's operating permission. An approval plate must contain the following information: - Diameter of the towball - Approval number - Series or production data - Static mass kg - Value D in kN - Type Info: Feel free to ask us for the corresponding document.
