Introduction to towing accessories in Adelaide

Atlantic Products is a 100% Australian-owned manufacturer and wholesaler supplying towing accessories, trailer parts and marine hardware to trade customers across Adelaide and regional SA. Whether it is boat trailers heading to Port Adelaide or the Fleurieu Peninsula, agricultural trailers working the Adelaide Hills, or commercial fleets running South Road every week, the right accessories make the difference between a reliable setup and a roadside failure.

Towballs and towball mounts

Standard 50 mm chrome towballs rated to 3,500 kg ATM comply with AS 4177.2 and ADR 62/02. Adjustable towball mounts allow installers to match trailer coupling height without modifying the towbar itself.

Tow hitches, receivers and towbars

Heavy-duty square receivers for 4x4s and commercial vehicles need matching capacity forgings and mounting hardware that comply with AS 4177.1. Towbars must comply with Australian standards for safety and ADR 62 requirements.

Safety chains, shackles and coupling locks

Safety chains must be rated to the trailer’s ATM, and for trailers over 3,500 kg ATM, dual safety chains are required. D shackles must match the chain’s load rating to maintain compliance.

Trailer plugs, adaptors and Anderson plugs

Standard 7-pin and 12-pin lighting plugs cover most caravan, boat trailer and plant trailer configurations. Anderson plugs are commonly used for battery connections on marine trailers, providing reliable high-current links for winch power.

Frequently asked questions — towing accessories adelaide

What towing accessories are required by law in Adelaide?
Safety chains must be rated to the trailer’s ATM, and for trailers over 3,500 kg ATM, dual safety chains are required under AS 4177.4. Brake controllers are essential for trailers over 750 kg GTM under South Australian towing regulations. All towbars must comply with ADR 62/02 and AS 4177 standards.
Why do towing accessories fail in South Australia’s climate?
South Australia’s varied conditions cause rapid wear. Long highway runs expose accessories to sustained heat, fine dust and vibration. Coastal zones add salt spray and humidity that accelerate corrosion. Agricultural areas bring steep gradients, heavy loads and rough unsealed surfaces. High-quality, compliant accessories resist these stresses.
What is the correct towball rating for my trailer?
A standard 50 mm chrome towball rated to 3,500 kg ATM must comply with AS 4177.2 and ADR 62/02. The towball rating must never exceed what your vehicle manufacturer has specified. Adjustable towball mounts allow matching trailer coupling height without modifying the towbar.
Do I need towing mirrors for my Adelaide towing setup?
Towing mirrors are essential for visibility around wide caravans. Most SA police enforcement expects them fitted whenever the trailer width exceeds the tow vehicle’s mirrors. Rock tamers or mud flaps also protect caravans from debris, particularly relevant on gravel roads through the Mallee and Flinders Ranges.
