1 company lists this product among what they make. Company figures are quoted from each company's own website; every card states where the relationship came from.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The rated towing capacity is 10–25 tonnes, as per ISO 5692-1. This is a reference range; the exact capacity depends on the specific model and must be confirmed with the manufacturer.
The hitch is made of high-strength steel, grade S355J2+N, and is hot-dip galvanized per ISO 1461 for corrosion resistance.
The hitch references ISO 5692-1 for towing capacity and vertical load, ISO 1103 for ball diameter, EN 10025-2 for material, ISO 273 for bolt holes, and IEC 60529 for IP rating. Compliance must be verified with the manufacturer.
Regularly inspect the locking mechanism, bolts, and surface for wear or corrosion. Ensure bolts are torqued to specifications and replace any damaged parts. Follow manufacturer guidelines for maintenance intervals.
