tow bar

??????????????????????

Towbars have a rated capacity as do vehicles

The unbraked allowance is 750kg and the braked capacity should be on a plate attached to the towbar.

Thereare also different classes of towbars

EG class is a bar with a flat tongue aNd usually can only tow up to about 2000kg.
An HR type with a 50mm square box tongue can tow up to 3500kg depending on its rating.

The rule is that a vehicle can tow the maxumum of the vehicles or towbars legal capacity WHICHEVER IS THE LESSER.

If you are going caravanning perhaps a fair bit more research will be needed.

Also some idea of what vehicle you are talking about.

Are you sure the word was braked....could have been baked...as in paint.
