Dual NATO Hitches

(1/2) > >>

Bush Tucker Man:
I spotted this 110 at the 'HCVS' at the National Coal Mining Museum.

Can anyone suggest a valid reason for doubling up on NATO hitches, as surely the trailers that require one will at the very least run at cross-member height :?

I know that the spare wheel blocks access to the cross-member mounted hitch, but that's not an insurmountable problem (just use a spacer, as used on the drop-plate)

I'm sure (just out of interest) that the number plates had 'Crook Brothers' (of Hoghton, Lancashire) on them

Unless he has a second trailer with a sankey hitch on, Been thinking on doing that with the car trailer, but want one with the hydraulic brake system on though

jjsaul:
make a mess of anything that ran into the back of it  :shock:

Range Rover Blues:
The top one might be missing the handle to make it fit under the wheel?  Like you say all NATO trailers have a common running height so they will suite a variety of vehicles.  The NATO hitch is useless for plant trailers too so I can't see the point, I'd have fitted a D-B 'pinball wizard', in fact I have :)

I presume you know of Crook bros then?
