Towbars are a mechanism that connects a vehicle to a trailer. They are able to tow all the 
kind of trailers from caravans, car trailers, box trailers and horse floats. When you begin 
looking for a towbar the first thing you need to do is to make sure the vehicle you own is 
able to tow the type of trailer you are planning on using with it. Carasel Towbars have a 
several types of towbars and the team will take the time to discuss with you the load you 
plan on towing, the vehicle that you own and how frequently you plan on using the

Convenient, All-Purpose Resource
Before you buy a trailer however, there are a few trailer buying tips you should consider 
as it is a item that will last you many years and also serve many purposes. What is the 
largest load you are likely to use the trailer to transport? What is the towing capacity of 
the vehicle and your towbar? If you are unsure, you can find these in the manufacturer 
book of the vehicle and check your towbar.
You should think of all the places you will use the trailer. Camping, holidays where you 
don't want to overload the inside of the vehicle if you have children, so the trip is relaxed 
and comfortable. It is also great for transporting oversized boxes you may purchase from 
the shops like furniture, outdoor settings etc. There are always times when it is so 
convenient to own a trailer.

Why Are There Different Types OF Towbars?
There are different kinds of towbars for towing, they come in different sizes, shapes and 
weights. People often have no idea what all these different kinds mean they just assume 
a towbar is just that, a towbar! The Carasel team will assist you and getting your choice 
right the first time.

Fixed Flange Towbar
A Fixed Flange Towbar is used for towing a trailer. The tow ball is bolted to the towbar with 
either 2 or 4 bolts and the towbar can be used for mounting accessories like bike carriers, 
bumper protectors and stabilisers. The fixed flange towbars are generally made from steel or 
aluminium and they are designed to install once, and to remain on the vehicle until you need 
to tow again.

Detachable Flange Towbar
The Detachable Flange Towbar can be fitted onto the back of any vehicle, making it a 
very versatile towbar. It works on the same concept as the fixed flange tow bar, but the 
plus side of this tow bar is that it can be removed. The neck of the tow bar can be easily 
removed by using the lock and key mechanism. This type of towbar is made up of two 
parts, the towbar and the detachable flange. The detachable flange is mounted to the 
rear bumper bar of your car and held together with 2 or 4 bolts.

How Long Should It Take To Fit A Towbar?
On an average it takes between two to four hours to install a towbar. Things needed to 
factor into this time includes the size of the vehicle and the parts that are being fitted. 
This includes the install time and fitting the electrics. It also includes the actual 
installation of the towbar and fixing the leaks.

transport bikes, getting the kids away from screens and out and about in the great 
outdoors.

How Much Does It Cost To Install A Towbar?
When installing a towbar on a vehicle it is not something that is recommended you can 
do alone in the driveway, nor was it ever intended to be a DIY project. Installing a 
towbar alone is a huge safety risk, not only is it a very heavy item that may require 
drilling to fit bolts or wiring it into the vehicle, but it also weighs considerably more than 
one person should not be lifting alone. Installing a towbar requires the experience of a 
trained mechanic or towbar fitter who is an expert in their field. Installation cost for 
towbars varies as it depends on the type and size of towbar chosen and the model and 
size of the car. Fitting a towbar to a truck will cost more than if it was being installed 
onto a smaller sedan. The cost also depends on how much work is involved. If installed 
at Carasel onsite at either of our two locations, it is cheaper than a mobile fit where an 
installer comes out to you.

Do I Really Need A Towbar On My Vehicle?
Installing a towbar is often not a decision that is made lightly. There are many things 
you need to consider and carefully think about. The cost of the tow bar and installation 
for one is something that can be a costly investment and one you need to think about 
how often it will be used. The cost also hinders on what kind of towbar you are thinking 
of buying. There are several different kinds of towbars and the one that may be best for 
you depends on the current vehicle you own and what you intend to tow with it. If you 
do not think you will be using it regularly then it becomes a very costly investment.
