Burquip Ball Coupler Delta 3,000kg

Deliver controlled overrun braking performance and towing stability for heavy commercial trailers, vehicle haulers, and large touring caravans with the Burquip Ball Coupler Delta 3,000kg. Built around the KNOTT mechanical overrun braking system for A-frame (Delta) chassis architectures, this assembly integrates an internal hydraulic shock damper, handbrake lever, and positive-locking 50 mm ball hitch head to provide proportional braking deceleration for trailers with a gross vehicle weight ranging from 2,000 kg up to 3,000 kg.

Key Features & Benefits:

• 2,000 kg to 3,000 kg Overrun Braking Capacity: Calibrated specifically for medium-to-heavy tandem-axle trailers up to 3,000 kg GVM, actuating mechanical drum or disc brakes smoothly in proportion to tow vehicle deceleration to eliminate trailer pushing.

• Delta (A-Frame) Chassis Geometry: Features an engineered Delta housing profile designed to bolt directly over converging A-frame drawbar beams, ensuring optimal structural distribution of dynamic pulling and stopping loads across the chassis rails.

• Standard 50 mm Ball Coupling Head: Equipped with a precision-cast 50 mm ball socket head compatible with standard tow balls, complete with an ergonomic safety latch handle to prevent accidental decoupling in transit.

• Internal Overrun Hydraulic Damper: Houses a heavy-duty hydraulic shock absorber within the sliding drawshaft that cushions push-pull transitions during stop-start driving, eliminating harsh jerking and brake snatch.

• Spring-Assisted Over-Centre Handbrake: Features an over-centre parking brake lever with a heavy-duty ratchet mechanism to mechanically lock trailer brakes when parked on steep inclines or stored unhitched.

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

• High-Speed Category Classification: Certified under Burquip’s braked high-speed coupling category, designed to handle sustained highway towing speeds with stable tracking.

• Durable Heavy-Duty Construction: High-tensile steel housing and precision-machined sliding components treated with a protective anti-corrosion coating to resist road spray, mud, and gravel chipping.
