AL-KO AK301 ball hitch for 3000kg trailer with 50mm pipe drawbar, cast iron
AL-KO AK301 ball hitch for 3000kg trailer with 50mm pipe drawbar, cast iron
The AK 301 ball coupling from AL-KO is a solid and reliable solution for heavy trailers and trailers with a total weight of up to 3,000 kg. Made of durable cast iron, it provides maximum durability and load resistance. Designed for mounting on a 50 mm diameter pipe drawbar, it guarantees a stable and safe connection to the towing vehicle. It is distinguished by an impressive permissible vertical load of 325 kg, which allows the transport of heavy loads while maintaining optimal weight distribution. Thanks to its solid construction and high quality of workmanship, the AK 301 coupling is the ideal choice for professionals and users who require reliable equipment for transporting heavy trailers, ensuring safety and peace of mind even in the most demanding operating conditions.
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.
Protection against incorrect engagement
The advanced design of the hitch eliminates the possibility of incorrect coupling. The key element of this system is the precisely developed locking mechanism, which prevents the hitch from closing if the ball of the towbar is not properly seated in the socket. This innovative solution significantly increases the safety of use, eliminating the risk of accidental disconnection of the trailer while driving and providing peace of mind for the driver.
Anti-corrosion protection
Ball couplings, made of high-quality cast iron, undergo a precise galvanizing process, which is a key element of their durability and reliability. This advanced method of anti-corrosion protection involves electrolytically depositing a thin, uniform layer of zinc on the cast iron surface of the coupling. The resulting coating creates an effective barrier against the aggressive effects of atmospheric factors, such as moisture, road salt or temperature fluctuations. Galvanizing not only provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion, but also significantly increases the coupling's resistance to mechanical damage. This process is particularly important in the case of cast iron, which, although durable, is susceptible to corrosion.
