General operating approval (ABE) and ECE - product certification (Homologation). Trailer hitches already approved according to ECE 55 regulation or previously 94/20/E have already been tested according to European standards. They comply with CE directives, are tested and approved for the French market.

It is not necessary to have the hitch approved by an expert or inspector after installation or to have it registered on the vehicle papers. What is the towing capacity? The towing capacity defines the maximum total weight allowed, with which a vehicle equipped with an appropriate tow bar can tow a trailer. Depending on the type and version of the vehicle (engine power), this may vary. You can find the maximum allowed trailer load for your vehicle on your registration certificate.

Where can I find this entry in the vehicle documents? Depending on the age of the vehicle, you will find the value in the vehicle registration certificate.

Take the value from zone F. 3 and subtract it from the value in zone F. In order to calculate the maximum allowable towing weight for the vehicle.

In exceptional cases, this value can be increased by calculation. Follow the instructions on the vehicle registration certificate - especially for slope indications. For the hitches we offer, you will find the maximum allowed trailer load of the trailer hitch in the technical data of the product view.

Important: If the maximum towing capacity value of the vehicle and the trailer hitch are not identical, the lower value always applies. Example: If a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 kg is indicated in the vehicle document, but the associated trailer hitch has a tested towing capacity of 1800 kg, only 1500 kg can still be towed. Under certain conditions, an increase in trailer load may be requested for the vehicle.

This requires approval from the respective vehicle manufacturer such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes... The vehicle must then be presented to an expert. With the test certificate you receive from them, you can have the change recorded in your vehicle documents at the registration office.

The authorized trailer load in kilograms can be determined as follows: Formula for calculating value D: (Total weight Towing capacity 9.81) / (Total weight + Towing capacity) Calculation formula for towing capacity: (value D total weight) / (total weight 9.81 - value D) Calculation formula for total weight: (value D trailer load) / (trailer load 9.81 - value D) Calculation formula for static weight according to the 4 % rule: Towing capacity 0.04 GF = (authorized total vehicle weight in kg) see vehicle registration D = (value D in kN) see nameplate / installation instructions of the tow bar. What is a bumper cut? When cutting the bumper, a part of the bumper is cut on the rear part of the vehicle. It is important to note that there are bumper cuts in the visible area and in the non-visible area. This depends individually on the design of the bumper. Trailer hitch manufacturers always strive to avoid bumper cuts. If this is not possible, the cut is limited to the bare minimum. If the bumper needs to be modified, you can always find it in the respective installation instructions of the article. If a cut is necessary, you will also find the dimensions or a template that defines the desired cut size.

Tip: For cutting, use a jigsaw with a fine saw blade, as it allows you to work with plastic very easily and above all with precision. To make the cut edges smooth again, you can carefully heat them with a lighter. Professionals can also do this with a bunsen burner or a "Blue-Fire". But keep enough distance to shape perfectly. The maximum weight that can be applied vertically from the top on the trailer hitch ball.

The authorized vertical load of the vehicle can be found in the vehicle manual under the "trailer use" section. The maximum static weight of each tow bar device is indicated on the approval plate and in the installation instructions. Tip: If you want to mount a bike rack with an electric bike on your trailer hitch, you must pay attention to a high static weight. Important: What if the vertical load values between the vehicle and the trailer hitch are not identical?

Example: If the manufacturer has authorized a maximum vertical load of 75 kg for the vehicle and the trailer hitch has an approved vertical load of 60 kg, the trailer hitch value is decisive. In this example, it would be 60 kg.

In this case, the lower value always applies. This value of a trailer hitch is expressed in Kilo-Newton and serves as the basis for calculating the permissible towing load. The value D is determined and checked once and therefore remains unchanged. Only the value D and the authorized vertical load are stated on the trailer hitch approval plate. The indication of value D allows to determine the bandwidth during a modification approval according to § 19 (3) StVZO (German Road Traffic Regulations). For example, it is possible to modify the authorized total weight by varying the towing load accordingly, without a new inspection. The required value D according to directive 94/20/CE can be determined as follows: GF = (authorized total vehicle weight in kg) see vehicle registration GA = (authorized towing load of the vehicle in kg) see vehicle registration. What is a folding socket holder? The socket is mounted on a support plate with a hinge and can be folded under the bumper. It is not a requirement, but simply an improvement in visual appearance.

Many removable and swiveling trailer hitches are equipped with retractable sockets. We even have some rigid hitches with this feature in our range. Info: The construction of a trailer hitch device with a folding socket support plate depends on the presence of sufficient space between the cross tube of the tow bar and the rear part of the vehicle.

Is an inspection at the Technical Control Center (CT) necessary? Almost all trailer hitches in our range have an approval plate and are therefore tested according to the "94/20" directive. Such a hitch can be used on public roads without further expertise. According to article 27, paragraph 1 of the StVZO (German Road Traffic Regulations), a trailer hitch retrofitted with an approval plate should only be added during the "next vehicle papers consultation" at the registration office.

However, according to clause 1a, any possible modification of the authorized towing load resulting from the installation of the trailer hitch device must be reported without delay. After installing a trailer hitch requiring an individual inspection at the Technical Control Center, we provide a certificate, with which you must undergo an individual inspection after installation.

You will receive a document with which you must proceed with an immediate registration on your vehicle papers at the registration office. National brand (M, F, N). The same terms as for individual technical inspection procedure apply here. The only difference is that these trailer hitches have a permanently awarded approval certification.

Info: A trailer hitch that has been tested according to EC94/20 meets the following criteria: - The trailer hitch has a valid approved plate with all necessary data - The distance between the tow ball and the bumper and the road complies with the regulations. The construction has passed the endurance test with 2 million load changes. All fixing points prescribed by the vehicle manufacturer have been observed.

Important: The installation instructions must be included with the vehicle papers and must be in the vehicle! What is the installation time?

The installation time of a tow bar is indicated by the tow bar manufacturer himself. This time is limited exclusively to the installation of the product.

This time does not take into account, for example, the installation or fitting of the bumper. Tips To avoid calculation errors, calculate the specified indicative values with a factor of two. Experience shows that this comes closest to the actual installation time.

What is a socket support plate? The socket, whether 7 or 13 poles, is always attached to the socket support plate with 3 screws. Some trailer hitches are even equipped with a folding function. What is an approval plate?

Each tow bar device must be equipped with an approval plate to avoid canceling the vehicle's circulation authorization. An approval plate must contain the following information: - Tow ball diameter - Approval number - Serial or manufacturing data - Static weight kg - Value D in kN - Type Info: Do not hesitate to ask us for the corresponding document.
