Road travel today is better than it's ever been, where we now have access to miles of smooth motorways, well organised traffic systems and reliable service stations, facilitating comfortable journeys across the UK. This level of comfort is matched by our vehicles, where most provide air conditioning, mobile phone connectivity and in-built safety technology as standard.
But our vehicles can also excel on the outside with a few well chosen additions. Adding a simple towbar to your motor can transform its potential, where this can allow you to pull a large trailer or even a whole caravan as you drive. In addition to this, roof racks, rails and cargo boxes can all amplify the storage potential of your vehicle, helping to improve your travel experience.
At SGM Towing, we supply and install a variety of towbars and towing accessories. Read on to find out more about some of our equipment essentials, with a look at how these important additions can maximise every journey.
Towbars: A Brief Introduction
A towbar is a simple accessory that is fitted to the underside or chassis of your vehicle. This instrument can then be connected to a trailer or towed caravan in order to pull this object behind the vehicle in a safe and reliable manner.
Towbars typically come in two different styles. These include the flange towbar, which features a visible plate which is bolted onto the vehicle’s chassis. This type is typically used for heavy duty towing applications. An alternative option is the swan neck towbar, which features a tow ball attached to an aerodynamic neck for a more aesthetically pleasing option.
Our Towbar Equipment & Accessories
Once your towbar has been installed, you will then be able to choose from a range of additional accessories to maximise your cargo potential. This could include a standard trailer attachment, a motorhome stabiliser, or an aerodynamic roof rack.
A selection of our best selling products are discussed below.

We supply a wide range of trailers to suit all your transportation needs, whether you’re delivering heavy cargo for work or travelling to a campsite for leisure. Some of our options include:
