Retractable
towbars
Fully electric retractable towbars
Advantages
- Maintenance-free
- Immediately ready for use
- Comfortable manual handling
- Ball neck - neither assembly nor disassembly necessary
- No visibility of ball neck and socket in 'rest' position
- Visual (LED display) and/or audible feedback (buzzer) on the system's operational readiness
- Waterproof and therefore submersible
- Integrated socket
- With FIX4BIKE® feature
Quickly ready for use
Our fully electric retractable towbar is available at unrivalled speed. This is made possible by the unique geometry of the pivoting process around only one inclined axis. Comfortably at the push of a button - triggered by a push button located in the vehicle cockpit or trunk - our ORIS towbar swivels to the operating position and automatically engages there and back again.
Ergonomically aligned
The towbar is available at the push of a button, making it extremely convenient to use. The ACPS Automotive system has many other unique selling points including a socket (necessary for the electrical connection of the vehicle and trailer or carrier system) embedded in the ball neck. This ensures maximum ergonomic comfort and is really easy to reach. The operational readiness of the system is supported acoustically and / or visually.
Compact installation
Due to the special geometry of the pivoting process, the full-electric towbar requires hardly any space to accomodate the towbar behind the bumper and makes it invisible when not in use. Nevertheless, it allows the use of key features of your car such as Park Distance Control or the foot switch for the boot/trunk.
