The X-Bar provides a purpose designed and rated rear of vehicle recovery system encompassed in a fully ADR compliant towbar. Available for most popular models of utes and 4WDs, the X-Bar is a rugged, go-anywhere towbar engineered for off-road. The X-Bar provides an increased departure angle and 3 rated recovery points to get you out of any situation while integrated bash plates keep you going when the going gets tough.
TRAILER CAMERAS & MONITORS
Big trailers, caravans, horse floats and boats don’t lend themselves to good visibility to the rear of your tow. We’re able to solve this common dilemma by offering a range of trailer cameras and monitor systems to give you a clear view of the world behind and around your tow.
Our trailer cameras are designed to provide excellent visibility to the rear of your tow. However, that’s not all our trailer cameras and monitors can do. Altapac trailer cameras can also help you see inside you tow so if you’re towing something valuable like horses, you can keep an eye on them and your tow vehicle while underway.
