Caravan Towbars

More Information

Here at David Murphy Towing we are known across Northern Ireland for fitting towbars of every size and variety to all kinds of vehicles. We pride ourselves both on the skilled craftsmanship of our team and our high levels of customer service.

Investing in a towbar not only adds value to your caravan when you choose to sell it, but it can also open up a wealth of space and towing opportunities just by adding a single accessory.

One such opportunity is the additional leisure and travel options available to you when you install a caravan towbar. C

Caravans are becoming increasingly popular with staycationers and holidaymakers alike, given our quality road and sea network from NI to the UK and on to Europe.

By sourcing a caravan towbar in Northern Ireland you can then have the option of towing an additional trailer for example, which could house anything from sports equipment to larger electrical goods or even motorbikes and smaller vehicles. Similarly you may wish to tow a boat or you could simply want to securely carry your bicycles on a rack outside the vehicle rather than inside.

With so many years experience expertly fitting caravan towbars, we know how to advise you on the best size, fit and model to match your vehicle’s towing capacity. We can ensure your investment is installed safely, remains secure and is durable enough to withstand regular use.

We can also assist those who have difficulty sourcing a towbar for the make and model of their caravan as well as offering additional advice on current legal restrictions around towing for road safety in Northern Ireland and beyond.

Found on the outskirts of Belfast city in Northern Ireland, David Murphy Towing is a quality secured member of the National Trailer and Towing Association (NTTA).

Traditionally used in the UK for all serious forms of towing and generally the most cost effective option. A 50mm towball is bolted to a two or four hole plate (vehicle dependant) that also allows the fitting of a 25mm spacer so that accessories such as a towbar mounted cycle carrier can be used.

  • Tow and carry cycles at the same time (subject to nose load limits)
  • Bumper shields can be fitted
  • AL-KO towballs can be fitted
  • The towing height can be adjusted on commercial and 4x4 four-hole plate towbars
  • A choice of towing couplings and accessories can be fitted
