COUPLINGS COMPACT
for braked trailers up to 1600kg
Technology
The safety advantage with our new generation of coupling heads!
Ergonomics
The handle complies with the latest directive and is very flat, so that the rear door can still be opened even on towing vehicles with a low loading edge.
1. Correctly coupled / Safety indicator
If the green indicator is visible when coupling up, then you know that the coup-ling is correctly connected to your tow vehicle.
2. Blocked ball cup / Double safety
When coupled and during travel, the coupling is held on the ball with double security by the safety mechanism.
3. Clear open position / Open setting for the handle
Should the coupling not be orrectly positione on the tow-ball, the coupling handle will remain in an open position.
4. Wear in order / Wear indicator
An additional indicator on the coupling handle shows you whether the wear limit of:
- your towball or
- the couping mechanism has been reached.

Couplings for braked trailers
Loose without fixings, but with information for users.
Surface Treatment
Galvanised couplings
Permitted angle ranges
Note: components are overloaded when the degree of angle movements are exceeded; thus safe function cannot be guaranteed.
5. Vertical +-25°
6. Horizontal +-20°
§ Assembly Approvals
All couplings are EC tested and therefore can be retro-fitted.
The prerequisite for this is that the fitting position between the old and new coupling, together with the load bearing capacity agree with one another.
As a general rule, the coup-lingtype is not stipulated in the vehicle log book, ie no entry is required for the new coupling.
In some circumstances, the old coupling is documented -therefore fitment of a new one must be inspected (officially recognised expert) and entered into the docu-ments.
