Fixed Flange

Fixed Flange

The installation of a fixed flange towbar is arguably the least expensive alternative, which is why it is a popular option. It uses two or four bolts to fasten to your car's flange plate. For people who regularly tow, it is great since it stays permanently connected.

A fixed flange towbar is adaptable and may be used with a variety of stabilisers, bumper guards, bicycle carriers, and other items that mount to the tow ball. Between the tow bar and ball, each of them can be installed.

Fixed Swan

Fixed Swan

Swan neck towbars, which are more aesthetically beautiful than flange towbars, can be used to tow trailers or caravans. 'Ball mounted' cycle carriers can also be utilised with it. The name "swan neck towbar" refers to the shape and style of the device.

The swan neck doesn't come in two halves like a flange towbar. The tow ball is instead connected to the neck, creating a single, sturdy unit. A fixed swan neck towbar is a streamlined and small attachment that stays with your car.
