This one is chrome-plated over its entire surface, from the sphere to the collar, and its extended shank makes up for the thickness of the beefiest mounting plates. The result is clean behind the vehicle: a \u003cstrong\u003echrome tow ball\u003c\/strong\u003e that stays shiny, and a thread that takes its full length instead of biting halfway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn extended shank, and why it solves many mounting problems\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn many mounts, the shank of a standard tow ball barely reaches flush with the nut. A longer shank changes the game: it passes completely through the mounting plate, leaves room for a proper washer, and allows for firm tightening. This is exactly what a \u003cstrong\u003etrailer hitch\u003c\/strong\u003e mounted on a thick plate or one fitted with a riser block needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour models are available, from type A to type D, with different collar and shank geometries. Compare the visuals with your mount before choosing: on a \u003cstrong\u003ecaravan tow ball\u003c\/strong\u003e, half a centimeter of shank or collar decides whether the installation is feasible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003e50 mm or 2-inch tow ball\u003c\/strong\u003e — the two most common standards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull chrome finish\u003c\/strong\u003e — corrosion protection and a neat appearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended shank\u003c\/strong\u003e — for thick mounting plates or those with a riser block.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour models to choose from\u003c\/strong\u003e — types A, B, C, and D depending on your mount's geometry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth sphere\u003c\/strong\u003e — the coupling ball rotates without any binding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplacement part\u003c\/strong\u003e — to refurbish a hitch whose tow ball has become dull.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMounting the chrome tow ball on your hitch plate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe installation remains standard: insert the shank into the mounting plate's hole, place the washer, then tighten the nut to the torque recommended by the hitch manufacturer. \u003cstrong\u003eInstalling a tow ball\u003c\/strong\u003e requires two precautions: a clean and dry thread, and a tightness check after the first few kilometers. Fasteners are not supplied; reuse the ones from your hitch if they are in good condition, otherwise replace them — check before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould you choose 50 mm or 2 inches for your trailer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn France and Europe, the answer is almost always 50 mm: it is the dimension used to calibrate the hitch heads of trailers, caravans, and cargo carriers on the market. 2 inches (50.8 mm) appears mainly on equipment of North American origin. The right reflex before ordering a \u003cstrong\u003ecar tow ball\u003c\/strong\u003e: read the marking stamped on your trailer's coupling ball, or measure it with a caliper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt Becquet Voiture, towing is chosen by dimension\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe detail the diameter, finish, and shank type so you can compare them with your setup, rather than lining up adjectives.
