AL-KO Stabiliser AKS 3004 (CBAKS50)

Significantly enhance towing safety, eliminate snake-like caravan oscillation, and suppress violent pitch bouncing with the AL-KO AKS 3004 Stabiliser Coupling, distributed by Burquip. Engineered for braked trailers and caravans with a gross vehicle weight up to 3,500 kg, this premium anti-sway coupling head uses an advanced 4-friction-pad system to clamp securely around the tow ball, instantly neutralizing snaking movements and pitch instabilities before they can escalate into dangerous fishtailing.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Advanced 4-Pad Friction System: Unlike standard two-pad units, the AKS 3004 employs four distinct friction pads (two side pads, one front pad, and one rear pad) that clamp around the tow ball under immense spring pressure, controlling both lateral sway (yaw) and vertical pitching.

• High Towing Capacity Rating: Certified for heavy-duty braked chassis applications up to a maximum gross vehicle mass of 3,500 kg, making it suitable for large touring caravans, boat trailers, and commercial transporters.

• Integrated Wear Indicators: Features clearly marked visual wear gauges on the coupling handle, allowing operators to verify coupling engagement, hitch security, and the remaining service life of the internal friction pads at a glance.

• Dual-Lever Operation: Utilizes a standard hitching handle to lock onto the tow ball followed by a secondary stabiliser lever that engages the friction damping pads into high-pressure contact.

• Integrated Soft-Dock Protection: Comes equipped with an integrated rubber bumper (Soft-Dock) at the front edge to protect the tow vehicle’s bumper and tailgate against accidental scuffs and knocks during hitching.

• Anti-Theft Lock Compatibility: Designed to accept dedicated AL-KO barrel lock inserts and safety guards (such as the AL-KO Safety Compact / Universal Lock) to prevent unauthorized hitching or uncoupling.
