OzGlide Towing Hitch

These seem to be an adaptation of an American hitch. I have seen them discussed elsewhere but its frowned upon for me to refer you there.
Suffice to say its a place about towing.
They are more a dampening hitch than a WDH and seem to be used in the States on heavier rigs.

I have the "other" version where the air bag is part of the tow vehicle. Mine is called an "AirSafe Hitch". It has the distinct advantage that, being part of the tug, you only need one. If you have multiple trailers (eg: caravan, horse float, speed boat etc) you don't need to fit one of the air bag set-ups to each trailer.



Very happy with the result......it is good for trailers up to 4.5 tonne and 450kg ball weight. They make heavier duty models too.

They are almost essential for the MR/HR trucks you see towing circus and traveling show caravans etc.

However, they are NOT recommended for lighter vehicles (such as Patrols and Cruisers) that have fairly compliant coil or airbag suspension because they tend to work against each other (or so I've read).

Thank you for your replies. Still checking it all out but do like the look of the "Airsafe Hitch" though, thanks Roachie.

Hi Andrew,
Thank you for that, I do still have the DMax and think I'll just go for the OME GVM upgrade and stick with the current set up.
Appreciate the info.
Cheers
