Stabiliser coupling with 4 friction pads: For greater stability and handling

The number 1 in Europe!
The new AKS™ 3004 featuring outstanding design and improved ergonomics noticeably suppresses snaking and pitching movements, for a safe and relaxed journey. The unique stabiliser coupling with 4 friction pads is suitable for use with trailers up with a total weight of up to 3,000 kg.

Our tip: To protect the AKS™ we recommend the weatherproof, breathable and colourfast weather guard.


Your advantage:

  • The coupling and stabilisation handles are separate from one another, and each can be operated with one hand
  • Constant monitoring of the friction pads and coupling mechanism by wear control indicators
  • Easy-to-replace friction pads
  • Integrated bracket for AL-KO Security Devices
  • Integrated Soft-Dock


Design

  • Multiple award-winning design 
  • Ergonomic flat handle

FAQ

The AKS™ 3004 fits almost all caravans. Please check the dimensions shown in the diagram in the technical data. Permitted total weight: 3,000 kg.

 

The AKS™ 3004 can easily be re-used on your next caravan (please note the permitted total weight of 3,000 kg). In this case re-attach the existing coupling.

 

In some vehicles the towbar is coated with protective paint when new. Please remove the protective paint from the towball (e.g. emery cloth + brake cleaner) before attaching the AKS™ for the first time.

 

No. The friction linings are made of a special material that cannot be cleaned. In this case replace the linings.

 

The AKS™ 3004 is not faulty and can still be used without problem. To reduce the noise, please contact your dealer who will gladly help you.
