Maypole Tow Ball – 50mm (079)

Description

Genuine Maypole · Part no. 079

The Maypole 079 is a standard 50mm flange towball cast in zinc-coated steel, with two M16 bolt holes, EU approved and made to suit most standard 50mm trailer and caravan couplings. The zinc coating resists rust on a ball that lives outdoors on the back of the car.

Good to know

• What load is it rated for? Its D and S values are not given in the listing, so read the stamp on the ball and check it covers your car's towing weights and the trailer's nose weight before relying on it.
• Does it fit my towbar? It needs a flange towbar drilled for two M16 bolts; fit it with high-tensile bolts tightened to the figure in the towbar instructions.
• How should I look after it? With an ordinary coupling, keep a light smear of grease on the ball and fit a cover when not towing; with a stabiliser coupling, keep it clean and grease-free instead.

Which one?

If you need a ball with stated ratings, the Maypole 500A is D17.2 with a 350kg nose weight guide; for more clearance behind a bumper, the Maypole 5005BA is a high-reach ball.
