Burquip Ball Coupler Delta 1,700kg

Deliver controlled overrun braking deceleration and towing security for medium-duty trailers, horseboxes, and touring caravans with the Burquip Ball Coupler Delta 1,700kg. Engineered around the proven KNOTT overrun braking system for A-frame (Delta) drawbars, this mechanical overrun assembly integrates a calibrated hydraulic shock damper, handbrake lever, and positive-locking 50 mm ball hitch head to provide proportional braking deceleration for trailers with a gross vehicle mass up to 1,700 kg.

Key Features & Benefits:

• 1,700 kg Overrun Braking Capacity: Calibrated to actuate mechanical trailer brakes smoothly and proportionally for single- or tandem-axle trailers up to 1,700 kg GVM, preventing trailer shoving and stabilizing stopping distances.

• Delta (A-Frame) Chassis Geometry: Features an engineered Delta housing profile designed to mount directly over converging A-frame drawbar beams, distributing longitudinal pull and tongue loads evenly into the chassis.

• Standard 50 mm Ball Coupling Head: Equipped with a precision-cast 50 mm ball hitch head compatible with standard tow balls, featuring an ergonomic latching handle with a built-in safety catch to prevent accidental decoupling.

• Integrated Hydraulic Overrun Damper: Houses an internal hydraulic shock absorber that cushions push-pull transitions during stopping and accelerating, eliminating harsh jerking and brake snatch.

• Spring-Assisted Over-Centre Handbrake: Fitted with an over-centre parking brake lever with a ratchet mechanism to mechanically lock the trailer brakes when parked on slopes or stored unhitched.

• Emergency Breakaway Protection: Pre-fitted with attachment points for an emergency breakaway cable, ensuring immediate, fail-safe brake engagement should the trailer detach from the towing vehicle.

• Durable Heavy-Duty Construction: High-tensile pressed/cast steel body treated with a corrosion-resistant protective coating to withstand continuous road spray, mud immersion, and stone chipping.
