Hitch / Tow bar

[Gäst hexoplast75]

Hello!

 

I bought a Volvo TGB11. I now have a little problem with registration. I have this hitch:

 

 

The problem is, that it has no number or producer label. As long as I have no technical documentation, I am not allowed to use it. There is only one letter left, the others dissapeared. Perhaps anybody can help?

 

 

Bye and thank you.

A that was a nice solution, might be something to look in to.

Although this document is a result of the same question on the German forum, it wasn't shown their online, apparently the only document that VBG still has about their old range of ball/pintle hitches:

(and in no better quality than this either)

 

 

 

When asked, VBG told me that this section of their product line was once sold to the Dutch hitch manufacturer Brink, many years ago, later to Thule.

 

But most, if not all, of this stuff is typical Swedish, so only Brink-/Thule-Sweden might now more.

 

 

 

(a better quality scan would be welcome, if only for the purpose of having a proper official document that lists the tow-ratings for each type/size)

 

 

 

Btw, note that the pin-hitches listed in that document are only legal up to 30km/h(!), only the ball hitches are 80km/h....8-))

 

So it would not be a legal alternative to the military pintle, at least not for trailers with eye-coupling....
