Hi-Rise Tow Ball & Retention Locking Plate Kit

Hi-Rise Tow Ball & Retention Locking Plate Kit

The Mister Hitches Hi-Rise tow ball is designed to give the user a little extra coupling height to enable a level ride height of the trailer or caravan or for use with European style friction head trailer couplings (Retention Locking Plate is required when used on these friction couplings)

The Hi-Rise tow ball sits approx 24mm to 25mm higher than standard tow balls, the increased height ensures that the friction head couplings have adequate clearance from the trailer ball mount. To combat tow ball rotation, an anti-rotation retention mounting plate is included in the kit. The tow ball is mounted between grooves on the plate, preventing rotation of the tow ball when hooked up to a European style friction head trailer coupling.

The 50mm Hi-Rse tow ball is rated to 3500kg & meets the performance requirements of Australian Standard AS4177.2
