AL-KO AKS3004 ball hitch with stabilizer for 3000kg trailer with 50mm tubular drawbar
AL-KO AKS3004 ball hitch with stabilizer for 3000kg trailer with 50mm tubular drawbar
The AKS 3004 ball hitch with stabilizer from the AL-KO manufacturer is ideal for horse trailers, vans, caravans, flatbed trailers, and truck trailers with a GVW of up to 3000 kg. Designed for mounting on a 50 mm diameter pipe drawbar, it provides exceptional stability and safety while driving. It is characterized by a permissible vertical load of 150 kg, which guarantees optimal load distribution. Equipped with an ergonomic lever with a soft handle, it increases the comfort of use when connecting and disconnecting the trailer. The integrated Soft-Dock protective element protects both the vehicle from scratches and the user from accidental impacts during maneuvering. The stabilization system effectively reduces trailer swaying, significantly improving driving comfort and safety, especially at higher speeds or in difficult road conditions. This versatile hitch is the ideal choice for users who value the highest level of safety and comfort when towing heavier trailers.
A ball hitch is an element mounted on the trailer drawbar, which is used to safely connect the trailer to the towing vehicle. Thanks to its design, it allows for stable seating on the towbar ball, which ensures a safe connection and smooth movement of the trailer while driving. Using a ball hitch is important because it minimizes the risk of the trailer becoming detached during transport and ensures proper control over the trailer, especially when turning and maneuvering. Using a ball hitch increases the safety and comfort of transporting various loads.
Consumption monitoring
The ball hitch wear indicator is a solution that significantly increases the safety and reliability of the trailer-vehicle connection. This precise monitoring system allows the user to easily and quickly assess the technical condition of the hitch without the need for specialist measurements. The indicator clearly informs about the degree of wear of the hitch ball, signaling the need for replacement before dangerous situations occur. Thanks to this, you can effectively prevent problems related to excessive wear, such as increased play or the risk of unexpected disconnection of the trailer while driving.
Correct engagement indicator
The correct coupling indicator in the ball hitch is a practical convenience that allows the user to quickly verify the correct connection between the trailer and the towing vehicle. Thanks to this indicator, the user can easily assess whether the hitch is correctly fastened, which increases safety during transport. In the event of incorrect coupling, the indicator signals the problem, which helps avoid potential failures or dangers on the road. This function minimizes the risk of errors when connecting the trailer, which is especially important for people who use trailers regularly.
Safety and anti-tilt system
The innovative stabilization system in the hitch offers exceptional protection against unwanted trailer movements. When the stabilization lever is pressed, the mechanism activates an advanced braking system consisting of four special friction linings. These precisely designed elements are strategically placed, embracing the vehicle's tow ball on four sides: left, right, rear and front. Such comprehensive embracing of the tow ball provides immediate and effective control over the trailer's movements. Thanks to this solution, any tendencies to rock or pitch are neutralized at the moment they occur, before they have time to develop into dangerous oscillations.
Friction lining wear indicator
The towbar is equipped with a wear indicator for the friction linings, which is a key element of the safety system. This precise mechanism allows the user to quickly and easily check the condition of the linings without having to dismantle the towbar. The indicator is located in a visible place and works on the principle of a colour code: green indicates that the linings are in good condition, while red indicates that they need to be replaced. Regular monitoring of the indicator ensures optimum performance of the stabilisation system, guaranteeing a consistently high level of safety when towing.
