A PCT Flanged Towbar with Bolt-on Towball

Flanged Towball

The traditional flanged towball is the workhorse of the PCT Automotive range. Renowned for its sheer strength and versatility, this design features a towball bolted directly to a heavy-duty faceplate, making it the go-to choice for commercial vehicles and serious towing. Its practical design means you can easily mount bolt-on accessories, such as cycle carriers, towing steps, or bumper protectors, and use them simultaneously while towing a trailer or caravan. If you need maximum utility and a rugged, no-nonsense towing solution, the PCT flanged towbar is an outstanding option.

A PCT Swan-Neck Towbar with fixed towball

Swan Neck Towball

For those seeking a more integrated look, the PCT fixed swan neck towbar offers a sleek and streamlined appearance. Because the towball and neck are forged together as a single elegant piece, it looks far neater on modern cars and is much less likely to trigger rear parking sensors. It is also completely compatible with AL-KO friction stabilisers right out of the box, making it a highly popular and convenient choice for caravan owners. You get all the robust reliability of a PCT towbar, but with a much cleaner finish.

A PCT branded detachable towbar with quick-release removable towball

Detachable Towball

The PCT detachable towbar provides the absolute ultimate in everyday convenience. When you are not actively towing, the towball neck can be swiftly and securely removed in a matter of seconds, leaving the back of your car looking exactly as it did when it left the showroom. This system is perfect if you only tow occasionally, or if you simply want to avoid catching your shins on a protruding towball when loading the boot. Despite being removable, it features a heavy-duty locking mechanism that easily meets PCT’s strict safety standards, giving you complete confidence on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions About PCT Towbars

What kind of warranty comes with a PCT towbar?


One of the standout features of choosing PCT Automotive is their immense confidence in their own products. Every PCT towbar is backed by a unique, written lifetime guarantee. As long as you are the original purchaser and the towbar remains fitted to the specific vehicle it was originally installed on, you are covered against any manufacturing defects.

Will my PCT towbar rust easily?

No, PCT towbars are incredibly resistant to corrosion. They utilise one of the most advanced coating processes in the UK towing industry. Before painting, the steel undergoes high-intensity shot peening and an iron phosphate pre-treatment. It is then finished with an electrophoretic e-coat—a high-performance process originally developed for automotive underbodies. This ensures uniform coverage, even on sharp edges, giving the towbar exceptional longevity and a salt spray life of up to 1,000 hours.

Yes, absolutely. We operate a comprehensive nationwide mobile fitting service.
