Hi all,
Apparently this security device ($199) allows you to secure standard towball trailers to the tow bar and leave it on even when driving. Having searched, I still can't find any more detailed info or pictures about this device. Just wondering if anyone has seen or has any info to pass on regarding this product.
Thanks in advance

I now have the HH for the work trailer ($40k inc traler) after the padlock on the $30 job was easily broken. The supplied padlock (cheap) was forced not cut. I don't see space for a bigger or better lock.
HH. Bottom of towball needs to be correct length to allow fitment while on vehicle, I had to cut 10mm off
mine to attatch HH. Locking pin for tounge is also req'
Luckily for me my neighbour disturbed the thief 3 times, I didn't hear anything. They finally woke me and while I was out the front working out how to secure the trailer for the rest of the night the thief drove into the street again, 4th time. I hid and got the rego and rang the cops immeidiatly, he saw us and bolted. Rego' to car yard, no word for cops since Oct.
It won't stop a tilt tray, but.....

Whats wrong with just using locks on the chains with the shackles (not suggesting instead of the shackles, but as
well as). Just an idea, I've not got a trailer to worry about, and with my reece hitch there would't be any other way I could do it if I did have one to worry about.
The only problem I can think of, is dust/grime/mud/water seizing the lock, solvable if you use one of those weatherproof type locks.
