More Information

David Murphy Towing in Northern Ireland stocks a comprehensive range of towbars from some of Europe’s leading manufacturers including Brink, Witter, Westfalia, Bosal, A1 and PCT.

So how do you decide which one is best for your needs and your vehicle?

One of the most popular types of towbar outside Northern Ireland is the Swan Neck Towbar. There are variations of fixed and detachable but you will most commonly see these used in European countries. To some degre, the choice will be dependent on your vehicle, as not all makes and models can support both types of towbar and David Murphy Towing can advise on this.

The Fixed Swan Neck Towbar is considered a less flexible option. This is mainly due to the inability to use other accessories while it is attached, such as bicycle carriers (cycle carriers are available to fit with this towbar but the carrier cannot be used simultaneously while towing).

Despite the inability to remove the neck, the Fixed Swan Neck Towbar is often considered more aesthetically pleasing than the Flange Towbar. And, although not guaranteed, there can be less chance of reverse parking sensors picking up the Fixed Swan Neck Towbar than the Flange. However in terms of price, it is usually comparative to the detachable style.
