Key Features & Operational Details

• Integrated Nose Weight Gauge: Built-in calibrated mechanical scale indicates current ball download directly on the outer tube, eliminating the need for standalone tow ball scale gauges.

• Dual Load Ratings: Designed for 300 kg static capacity when parked stationary, and calibrated for up to 180 kg dynamic load capacity during active manual or motorized maneuvering.

• Integrated Spring Suspension: Internal spring mechanism cushions the assembly during site maneuvering, absorbing sudden jolts from ground ruts, kerbs, and driveways.

• Wide-Footprint 230 x 80 mm Solid Wheel: Wide solid rubber profile distributes drawbar weight evenly over soft terrain, sand, lawn, and gravel, preventing the wheel from sinking while eliminating flat tyre concerns.

• Standard 48 mm Outer Shaft: Fits standard 48 mm split clamps or 90-degree swivel brackets, allowing direct retrofit onto existing trailer drawbar mounts without structural chassis modifications.

• Corrosion-Resistant Surface: High-grade galvanised/zinc-plated surface treatment shields all structural steel surfaces from moisture, road spray, grit abrasion, and outdoor weathering.
