Why professional tow bar installation matters
Installing a tow bar requires more than attaching a hitch — it must be:
Securely mounted to the vehicle’s chassis
Correctly wired into lighting and safety systems
Integrated with CANbus or dashboard alerts when needed
Compliant with UK safety and legal standards
A professionally fitted tow bar protects your vehicle electronics, prevents faults, and ensures safe towing on UK roads.
Types of tow bars we install
We supply and fit a range of tow bar styles to suit your towing needs:
Fixed Tow Bars – robust, cost-effective, ideal for regular towing
Detachable Tow Bars – convenient removal for everyday driving
Swan Neck & Flange Tow Bars – balance strength with aesthetics and ease of use
Electrical wiring & integration
Tow bar wiring is as critical as the bar itself. We install vehicle-specific wiring kits for full compatibility with your lighting system, including:
Standard 7-pin for trailers

Installation of relays or modules if required
Programming or coding for vehicles with complex electronics
All wiring is tested to ensure lights, indicators, brake lights, reverse sensors, and dashboard alerts function correctly.
