The Alko 2 Hole Snap On Coupling rated to 2000 kg suits everyday trailer work where you want straightforward gear that just hooks up and goes. The snap on head with ball adjuster keeps the connection tight on a standard tow ball so you can tow box trailers or small campers without fuss. The 2 hole mount at 101.6 mm spacing drops straight onto many Aussie drawbars.

The zinc plated steel body stands up to wet roads corrugations and the odd salty splash better than bare steel. The 13.5 mm mounting holes take common coupling bolts so you can swap worn gear without re drilling the drawbar. The 77 mm ball to first centre dimension keeps things compact which helps on short A frames and tight turning setups. If you want a smart buy for 2000 kg trailer work this coupling fits the brief.

Q: What trailers suit this 2000 kg Alko 2 Hole Snap On Coupling?

This coupling suits trailers with an ATM up to 2000 kg that use a 2 hole mount at 101.6 mm spacing and 13.5 mm mounting bolt holes. That covers many box trailers camper trailers and general duty rigs. Always confirm your trailer ATM is 2000 kg or less before fitting. A higher rated trailer needs a higher capacity coupling. Matching the mounting pattern avoids drilling new holes in the drawbar.

Q: What size bolts are needed for the mounting holes?

The mounting holes are 13.5 mm so bolts must match that diameter. High tensile bolts in this size are commonly used for trailer couplings. Correct bolt size keeps the coupling located without slop under tow loads. Use suitable washers and nyloc or locknuts for a secure install. Torque the bolts to the hardware manufacturer spec and check them after initial trips.

Q: How does the ball adjuster help on this coupling?

The ball adjuster lets you set how tightly the snap on head grips the tow ball. As the tow ball and coupling socket wear the adjuster can be turned to remove excess play. Less movement at the coupling reduces noise while towing. It also helps maintain a consistent connection across different but correctly sized tow balls. Always keep movement within manufacturer guidelines.

Q: What maintenance does the zinc plated coupling need?

The zinc plating lowers the amount of rust but basic maintenance still helps. A light spray of suitable lubricant on moving parts keeps the snap on action working smoothly. Periodically inspect the plating for deep chips or damage from stones. Touch up bare steel areas with cold galv or similar where practical. Check for cracks wear or deformation and replace the coupling if any damage is found.
