TAG universal truck towbars supplied and fitted by Aranda Towbars

Need a towbar fitted to a light truck, commercial vehicle or fleet vehicle? Aranda Towbars supplies and installs universal truck towbars for suitable vehicles across Brisbane, Logan and surrounding areas.

​

These are heavy duty truck towbar options designed for commercial and light truck applications where a standard vehicle-specific towbar may not be available.

​

Towbars for light trucks and commercial vehicles

Not every truck has a simple bolt-on towbar option. Some light trucks and commercial vehicles require a universal or multi-fit towbar that is selected, positioned and fitted to suit the vehicle.

Universal truck towbar installations may suit:

• Light trucks

• Cab chassis vehicles

• Tippers

• Service bodies

• Trade trucks

• Fleet vehicles

• Commercial vehicles

• Delivery vehicles

• Work vehicles

If you are unsure whether a towbar is available for your truck, send us your vehicle details and we can check the best option.

​​​

Universal truck towbars require proper fitment

Universal truck towbars are different from normal passenger vehicle towbars.

They may require:

• Vehicle inspection

• Chassis measurement

• Correct positioning

• Welding or fabrication

• Wiring setup

• Rating checks

• Suitable towball mount selection

• Professional installation

Because these are safety-critical parts, the towbar must be fitted correctly and matched to the vehicle.

​

Towing capacity depends on the vehicle and setup

A truck towbar does not automatically increase the vehicle’s legal towing capacity.

Your final towing capacity depends on:

• The vehicle manufacturer’s rating

• The towbar rating

• The towball mount rating

• The trailer’s braked or unbraked rating

• The vehicle’s GVM and GCM

• The way the body or tray is fitted

• The final installation method

If you are towing heavy trailers, machinery, equipment or work gear, let us know before booking so we can check the correct setup.

​

Common uses for truck towbars

Universal truck towbars are commonly used for towing:

• Work trailers

• Plant trailers

• Machinery trailers

• Box trailers

• Trade trailers

• Equipment trailers

• Site trailers

• Fleet trailers

• Commercial towing setups

If you use your truck for work, we can help set it up with the right towbar, wiring and accessories.

​

Wiring and trailer plug options

Most truck towbar installations also need wiring.

Depending on what you are towing, we can quote:

• 7 pin trailer plug

• 12 pin trailer plug

• Trailer wiring

• Anderson plug

• Brake controller

• Towball mount

• Hitch pin and clip

• D-shackles, if suitable

• Other towing accessories

If your trailer has electric brakes, you may need a brake controller.

​

Brake controllers for truck towing

If you are towing a trailer with electric brakes, a brake controller may be required.

We can supply and install brake controllers for suitable truck and commercial vehicle setups. Tell us what trailer you are towing and we can include the correct towing accessories in your quote.
