EQUIPMENT RATINGS CAUTION:
TRAILER COUPLINGS, TOWBARS, SAFETY CHAINS
■ Published Ratings are the maximum theoretical possible ratings.
■ Several Constraints Apply to Ratings
Those responsible for vehicle design and load planning must consider actual safe maximum ratings for the towing equipment and vehicle combination on any given journey. These include the following variables:
■ Coupling D Value
■ Axle loads
■ Load distribution
■ Regulatory requirements
■ Vehicle capacity limits
■ Operator driver’s license limits
■ Fleet towing policy
■ Towing component specifications
■ Bartlett Sales Advice is limited to the towing equipment being considered for a given towing application.
■ Bartlett Towbars are individually rated for the vehicle to which they are attached, and final ratings are calculated by Bartlett Equipment as a function of these variables.
■ Detailed Planning that considers your specific vehicle combination including coupling static vertical load (SVL), axle loads, payload optimisation and component limitations can be obtained via the services of a suitably qualified automotive engineer or Authorised Vehicle Examiner (AVE) who can examine and certify the installation.
■ Operators are Responsible for correct towing equipment selection and vehicle loading.
The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator NHVR publishes bulletins and guides to assist interested parties plan and apply ratings correctly. www.nhvr.gov.au

TRAILER COUPLINGS, TOWBARS, SAFETY CHAINS
■ Published Ratings are the maximum theoretical possible ratings.
■ Several Constraints Apply to Ratings
Those responsible for vehicle design and load planning must consider actual safe maximum ratings for the towing equipment and vehicle combination on any given journey.
These include the following variables:
■ Coupling D Value
■ Axle loads
■ Load distribution
■ Regulatory requirements
■ Vehicle capacity limits
■ Operator driver’s license limits
■ Fleet towing policy
■ Towing component specifications
■ Bartlett Sales Advice is limited to the towing equipment being considered for a given towing application.
■ Bartlett Towbars are individually rated for the vehicle to which they are attached, and final ratings are calculated by Bartlett Equipment as a function of these variables.
■ Detailed Planning that considers your specific vehicle combination including coupling static vertical load (SVL), axle loads, payload optimisation and component limitations can be obtained via the services of a suitably qualified automotive engineer or Authorised Vehicle Examiner (AVE) who can examine and certify the installation.
■ Operators are Responsible for correct towing equipment selection and vehicle loading.
The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator NHVR publishes bulletins and guides to assist interested parties plan and apply ratings correctly. www.nhvr.gov.au

BALL TRAILER COUPLINGS
BARTLETT® BALL
127mm AND 95mm TRAILER COUPLINGS
True coupling performance
Positive connection, proven toughness in all conditions.
The Bartlett unique precision machined ball and socket design provides a truly positive connection between trucks and trailers. Zero slack means no shunting, damaging backlash or premature wear and tear.
A positive connection provides protection for drive line, geartrain and fragile cargo whilst drivers and passengers experience uninterrupted comfort.
■
■ High strength D Value means flexibility to use on Pig, Tag, and even heavy Dog trailers up to 45 tonne.
■ Huge spherical surface contact area for longest service life.
■ Oscillation – 22.5 degrees free in all directions.
■ Total cost of ownership (TCO) is industry leading, with outstanding component life.

■ Published Ratings are the maximum theoretical possible ratings.
■ Several Constraints Apply to Ratings
Those responsible for vehicle design and load planning must consider actual safe maximum ratings for the towing equipment and vehicle combination on any given journey.
These include the following variables:
■ Coupling D Value
■ Axle loads
■ Load distribution
■ Regulatory requirements
■ Vehicle capacity limits
■ Operator driver’s license limits
■ Fleet towing policy
■ Towing component specifications
■ Bartlett Sales Advice is limited to the towing equipment being considered for a given towing application.
■ Bartlett Towbars are individually rated for the vehicle to which they are attached, and final ratings are calculated by Bartlett Equipment as a function of these variables.
■ Detailed Planning that considers your specific vehicle combination including coupling static vertical load (SVL), axle loads, payload optimisation and component limitations can be obtained via the services of a suitably qualified automotive engineer or Authorised Vehicle Examiner (AVE) who can examine and certify the installation.
■ Operators are Responsible for correct towing equipment selection and vehicle loading.
The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator NHVR publishes bulletins and guides to assist interested parties plan and apply ratings correctly. www.nhvr.gov.au
