Tow Ball Hitches and Receiver Kits
Important: We recommend offroad couplings of all brands use a solid cast receiver hitch. Hollow receivers have a welded tongue that distorts in extreme offroad conditions and under shock loading events on the highway.
Couplemate manufacturers a range of cast tow bar receivers and hitches in Australia and tested to Australian road conditions.
The Alko coupling with a dual locking system retrofits to existing caravans and camper trailers.
- Snap locks closed
- R Clip or lynchpin acts as a double lock to help prevent accidental unhitching from the tow vehicle.
Caravan owners with low rear doors rate this Al-ko low profile as one of the best couplings on the market.

The new AL-KO Off-Road Ball Coupling incorporates extreme vertical and horizontal articulation. Furthermore, the quick & easy hitching design requires no pin or hole alignment. We took to the Victorian High Country to push it to its limits through all sorts of off-road terrain.
Fatigue tested to 2 million cycles; the Al-ko Off-Road Coupling is available from all good trailer parts and off-road trailer retailers.
