Replacement of the drawbar eye
By replacing the tractor trailer’s fixed drawbar with an articulated drawbar eye, you achieve better flexibility and safer driving. It is important to choose the correct size so that the drawbar eye can handle the load and is compatible with the tractor’s hitch. Installing support legs as well as new rear lights and reflectors increases stability, visibility, and safety when transporting with a tractor trailer.
