                                                               Widely used across the UK the system is ideal for blade type stabilisers and bike carriers which bolt behind the flange ball. This type of ball mounting is normally one of the cheapest to purchase as there is more choice of manufactures. Bumper protection plates can be mounted behind the ball to protect the vehicle bumper when hitching to your caravan or trailer. This type of bar is fixed on and visible at all times on the vehicle along with the towing electric's which are usually mounted to one side of the ball. If your caravan uses an Alko type stabiliser then a Alko flange towball is required (pictured above in black) to ensure that there is enough clearance for the safe operation of the stabiliser.
