Yeah, got to admit to being surprised when you mentioned it earlier - I've NEVER found a NATO hitch on any military kit that doesn't swivel 360 degrees - or if it doesn't it soon does after a good clean and re-grease anyway! So I'd reckon the non-swiveling version is a civilian 'pattern' part as all of the ones fitted to mil kit have the 360 swivel........

I've seen the fixed type too, but I don't know who makes them.

Got a fixed one on the front of the hybrid, cant remember where it came from though, ok for recovery, but unwilling to use it for towing the sankey with, although I did use it to push the trailer into where I needed being a bit tight and I was on my own, had no probs
Guardian.:
they would be fine for towing anyway, they only need to swivel if your offroading. mine is always locked and never a problem.
its the first time ive found reversing a pain in the arse though, a sankey with a 110, they soon flick round!
