RECEIVER HITCHES
Land Rover tow bars are often one of the lowest points of a Land Rover significantly reducing the departure angle and frequently get hung up while driving off-road.Due to the dual purpose nature of most people’s vehicles, removing the tow bar altogether is not an option.
Receiver Hitches help to maintain 100% versatility by providing a ‘female’ box section mounting point known and a ‘receiver’ fitted high up, close to the chassis out of harms way.The Receiver Hitch allows a variety of ‘male’ attachments to be connected to your Land Rover including towing drop plates, recovery points and demountable winch cradles in fact the options are almost limitless.The Receiver Hitch has a 2” internal bore with enough tolerance to allow a snug fitting 2” external square section to be inserted and retained by a heavy pin and security clip.
Receiver hitches are available for a range of Land Rovers and include the necessary fitting kit and retaining pin. The drop plate provides three levels of height adjustment and the recovery point is machined to accept a common bow shackle.
N.B. Within the United Kingdom all vehicles with first registered on or after 01/08/1998 requires a type approved 94/20 EC towbar. The above Receiver Hitches do not carry Type Approval Certification.
