Maypole D17.2 S350 High Reach Tow Ball (5005BA)

Description

Genuine Maypole · Part no. 5005BA

The Maypole 5005BA is a 50mm high-reach flange towball in black-finished cast steel, rated D17.2 and S350 and EU approved. The longer neck of a high-reach ball gives extra clearance between the ball and the bumper or towbar, which helps where a stabiliser coupling or a deep bumper gets in the way.

Good to know

• What do D17.2 and S350 mean? D is the strength rating in kN, which must suit the weights of the car and trailer together, and S350 means a nose weight of up to 350kg on the ball; the car's own nose weight limit may be lower and always applies.
• Can I use it with an AL-KO or similar stabiliser coupling? Stabiliser couplings need a clean, dry, grease-free ball, so remove the paint from the ball surface first as the coupling maker instructs, and never grease it.
• Will it bolt to my towbar? Its fixing holes are cast to suit most standard towbar bolts; fit it with the high-tensile bolts and torque given in your towbar's fitting instructions, and recheck them when those instructions say.

Which one?

For a standard-reach ball with the same D17.2 and S350 ratings, choose the Maypole 500A; the Maypole 079 is a standard zinc-coated 50mm ball.
