Omega removable towing hook
« on: 23 February 2013, 13:14:25 »
The removable one.
What sort of weights can I pull with it or is this something else I need to pull of the scrapper ?

Is it a lightweight thing or can I drag my pikey waggon with it ?

The van is a 20 year old 12 ft Swift

TIA

I think we are on the same wavelength here.
When I managed to clean some of the crap of the car today I noticed a sticker on the tailgate rubber seal face with a picture of the removable towbar and 75 kg on it.
Can I take it that this is limit of direct vertical force down onto the tow ball ?
