In some vehicle models, we also offer a practical system with removable disk in addition to a rigid or detachable trailer hitch . But what are the benefits for you and why is it advisable for some vehicles to opt for a system with a change plate?

We always offer the replaceable plate system when the function and consequently also the use of the vehicle can be well supplemented by a jaw clutch. For example, with very powerful vehicles, as they are often used in forestry. Here are certainly the current pick up models, such as the Renault Alaskan and the Nissan Navara, to be named. In agriculture, these cars are often used. The trailers, which are used in the work in forestry and agriculture, usually have no ball coupling as you know them from the popular trailers. Instead, you have to work with a jaw or a bolt coupling. With a removable change plate system, this is easily possible. Because you have two plates, each holding a different trailer hitch for you. So you can of course on the one hand, rely on a normal rigid trailer hitch. On the other hand, there is also a plate, which is provided with a mouth clutch. You can then use these for the foot or bolt coupling of the trailer.

If you want to switch between the plates, this is of course easily possible. You just have to pull a lever forward and then you can turn off your removable disk. Also, the assembly of the new plate is literally done in a jiffy, but you turn the plate simply on the base plate until the lever engages. The operation of the system with removable disk you can also look at the video once.

If you want to retrofit a towbar, you should pay attention to a few details. Clearly, you want to be able to use the AHK for a few years on your current vehicle and you do not want it to annoy you on a regular basis. Therefore, we have put together the three most important features that you should consider when choosing the towing hitch.

1. The towbar should not be in your way

Nothing is more annoying than constantly bumping your leg on the trailer hitch because you have forgotten that it is now on the back of the vehicle. Surely you will get used to it one day. Yet, if you are a habit and are bothered by something in your way, then you should think about a detachable or swiveling towbar. These are not permanently in your way and only need to be put into operation when you really intend to use them. This way you save not only trouble, but also dirty trouser legs, if, after retrofitting you forgot about the towbar again.

2. The trailer hitch should lie to you in the operation

If you are retrofitting a trailer hitch and it is not exactly rigid, then you should make sure when retrofitting that you get along well with the operation of the trailer hitch. With our detachable trailer hitches, you just have to turn one wheel aside and turn it to remove the ball rod. During assembly, you only need to guide the ball rod into the receptacle until it snaps in by itself. Even with the swivel trailer hitch from us only a few steps are necessary. So you have to operate the trailer hitch as described for the removable version, if you want to dismantle the towbar. If you have operated the wheel, the towbar „falls“ down and you only have to bring it up to its resting position. If you would like to put the towbar back in operation, you will move the lever of the rest position to the side so that the ball bar „falls down“ once again. Then you only have to grasp the trailer hitch and guide it to its correct position. Here, too, the towbar locks itself in. So you see, the operation of our towbars is designed as easy as possible for you, we put a lot of value on it in the development and construction.

3. The trailer hitch should not affect the appearance of your vehicle

Nothing is nastier than a large section in the bumper, if you retrofit a trailer hitch. It is by no means absolutely necessary to reckon with a section when retrofitting. Our trailer hitches are designed to come out under the bumper and thus run around it. A section in the visible area of ​​the bumper is therefore not required when retrofitting with MVG trailer couplings. When buying your trailer hitch you should also pay attention to this, certainly you would like to make on your vehicle no major interference with the optics.

The Seat Arona is a modern cross over SUV, which can convince by its design. The popular SUV is also ideal for driving with the trailer or the rear bike rack. Of course, the right trailer hitch must not be missing so that you are ready for your next bike trip. Therefore, in our assortment we not only offer a rigid trailer hitch but also a practical detachable system.

The detachable towbar is easy to use and can be mounted and dismounted at any time. The operation is done via a rotary knob and is possible in a few steps. Our towbar requires no intervention in the modern design of the Seat, our AHK uses the original cutout.

These designate different models of trailer hitches, but give no further information as to which vehicle the system is suitable for.

The MVG systems explained in a simple manner

The system 2010 – always ready with the rigid trailer hitch
