Treg couplings

Mines is just welded to the trailer draw bar. Has taken a beating and shown no signs of stress. I have put a pic for you to look at in the "My Rig" section - Click the link below and have a look.
Hope that helps.

Hi i lean

Have it professionally welded. My Supreme is welded and at 2000 kg loaded is fine. 5 years old and still perfect.

I have a TREG hitch on my trailer, and it has 4 long bolts that pass through the casting to attach to the drawbar. AFAIK you cannot weld it on for 2 reasons - firstly it is not allowed, and secondly the casting is cast iron and won't weld anyway. If it's not cast iron, it probably isn't a TREG hitch. Only other suggestion is using 2 large U-bolts to clamp it onto the drawbar.

Good luck
John

hi there all

i'm probably missing something here, but what is the advantage of using one of these compared to the normal ball/socket towing arrangement.

Let's just clear something up about coupling brands...

TRIGG BROS. are one of the biggest manufacturers of cast couplings in Australia. They have their own "Polyblock" type coupling that has a cast receiver that bolts to your towbar. It utilises the cast body of the over-ride coupling that CANNOT be welded. These also currently run a red coloured block.

The TREG coupling is manufactured by Tregoning P/L (Treg Trailers) in S.A. with original being the Gold coloured steel coupling pictured above, and is commonly welded to the drawbar of your trailer/Caravan. When the demand arose for their couplings to be used with over-ride brakes, Treg combined their polyblock hitch and head with the cast body section of a TRIGG BROS coupling. It was probably cheaper than setting up their own casting foundry. You should also see grinding marks where the "TB" logo has been removed. Originally these had red polyblocks, now they are blue.

Hope this clears up some confusion.
