HOW THE MAWBY HOOK WORKS

One of my pet hates is fiddling with D shackles every time I need to hitch or unhitch my caravan . I often find shackles difficult , partly because I ’ m always in a rush to set-up and go fishing , or I ’ m in a hurry to leave the caravan park and head to my next destination .
In addition , as we get older having to bend down low and deal with fiddly shackles becomes harder and harder . I often thought about using standard chain hooks but , as you know , they are not loadrated or compliant with Australian Standards for use while towing .
Well , there ’ s some good news . There is an Adelaide-based company , Dix Engineering , that has just launched an AS4177.4- approved hook for caravan towing .
The Mawby Hook has proven to be a life-saver for us . Finally , securing those safety chains has become quick and easy .
