Description

Overview

V.Orlandi E550 50mm automatic tow coupling locks 50mm drawbar eye connections for heavy trailer, dolly and road train towing setups. The E550B3M version uses a cast steel wear pad, automatic closing action and a 160 x 100mm ISO flange pattern for heavy duty mounting.

Features

  • 50mm automatic rigid drawbar coupling for compatible 50mm drawbar eyes.
  • 330kN D-value, 135kN Dc-value, 2500kg S-value and 50kN V-value.
  • Visual lock indicators show whether the coupling pin has engaged or disengaged.
  • Cast wear pad setup with removable service parts for faster maintenance.

Specifications and Materials

The V.Orlandi E550 50mm automatic tow coupling suits ISO 160 x 100mm mounting and 50mm drawbar eye applications. It also gives 35mm hand clearance at the operating handle, which helps avoid knuckle contact around the bell mouth during operation.

Part number: TC8005.

Compatibility and Fitment

Match the flange pattern, 50mm drawbar eye, D-value, Dc-value, S-value and V-value before ordering. Also check the drawbar eye condition and mounting face because worn towing gear can affect coupling lockup, steering movement and wear pad life.

Compliance and Safety

Confirm the coupling rating against the vehicle combination before installation. After fitting, inspect the lock indicators, coupling pin, wear pad, bushes and fasteners during scheduled service because tow coupling wear can create unsafe movement between the towing vehicle and trailer.
