Trailer hitch

snailbate,
I have an ORAC on my C/T purchased from a trailer place in Beenleigh Q.
Full articulation up/down/sideways/allround. (You don't want to be in the position to have to use the last two.) The name of the mob escapes me due to old age.
Cheers,

Do yourself a favour and don't stuff around - just buy the AT035 hitch from Trailer Components in Brisbane.

Not cheap but well tested.

Hi,

I have a Hyland 2000 hitch on my camper trailer.

It is similar to a 50mm ball hitch with a 360 articulation in all directions.

I would highly recommend it

The supplier is in brisbane

Thanks

I also have a highland hitch mkII and it is rated at 2000kg. With the correct height tow ball , mine is an ark 3500kg, the hitch tows well and is very easy to connect. Also by retaining the 50mm ball I can tow other trailers, caravans etc that are not offroad spec.

We have just fitted a new AT35 from Vehicle Components QLD to our caravan.

What we had previously was similar - also one with 360° swivel. We have a hayman reese for maximum articulation. VC also have a conical ball hitch; easier to hitch up with, but lacking the movement we need for sharp dips and crests.

I recently heard a tale about the friends of my cousin, whose off road trailer did a full 360° flip without harm to the car, because they had a swivelling hitch. I'd hate to roll the caravan, but with these hitches, it needn't take the car over with it.

I don't think you'll find the AT35 expensive at all.

That AT35 hitch looks like someone has taken an Orac and a Tregg/Trigg hitch and combined the two. Why??? Looks over-engineered to me

Snailbate,
Have a look here. Shows all the various styles available.

Personally I use an ORAC.

Cheers, John.

Have not seen the AT035 but have used a treg for the last 8years with no problems.

Duncs.

I use a Treg which is fine for what I do. But don't confuse a Treg with a Trigg. At first sight the look the same but the Treg gives more articulation.
