Coupling Type 5085 T

The Ingenious Ball

For years, the name of RINGFEDER has stood for quality, reliability and innovative products. With this coupling system variant, the company has once again proven that it belongs among the top ranks of international coupling manufacturers.

The new ball coupling system 5085T for car transporters can be used flexibly and exhibits extremely low wear. It is also an attractively priced product that has met with great interest among many companies in the car transporter industry. The genius lies in the ball that is used in place of a typical coupling pin. This guarantees optimal freedom of movement.

Another advantage is the low wear at all contact points. This increases not only the safety but also the service life of the coupling system while at the same time reducing service costs, an advantage that should not be underestimated in times of rising operating costs. But the system has still more benefits to offer: If a combination of 50 mm trailer hitch and 50 mm towing eye is currently used, no changes to the drawbar are required to attach the new ball system.
The “ball” is extremely easy to remove, allowing the towing eye to be connected once again with a pin coupling in almost no time.
Even switching from a pin coupling to the new ball system poses no difficulties. The hole pattern (160x100) is identical to that of 50 mm pin couplings.

Retrofitting or converting an existing fleet can be performed quickly and with little effort. The ball coupling system 5085T is a simple product. This is quite intentional since simple stands here for robust, uncomplicated and especially user-friendly. The user-friendliness can also be seen in the universal usability of the coupling.

It is once again clear why an increasing number of satisfied customers trust in the innovation and reliability of RINGFEDER products: RINGFEDER couplings are built for the real market and the hard conditions found on the world's roads. The new ball coupling system 5085T is the best evidence of a clear focus on the needs of the day. RINGFEDER products are continuously improved and constantly tested for their suitability under everyday conditions. This unwavering focus on quality and the needs of the customer is appreciated equally by OEMs, truck and trailer manufacturers, dealers, workshops, forwarding companies and naturally the end customers, which is why an increasing number of them are choosing Ringfeder as their OEM.
