Parts Stop stocks ARK towing and hitch hardware — tow balls, tow ball mounts, hitch pin locks, spare wheel carriers, galvanised U-bolts and trailer plug adaptors. On the shelf, ready to go.

ARK's the Australian-owned outfit that's been in towing since 1978 — they started making tow balls and went on to introduce a lot of the gear now taken for granted, like the lockable jerry can holder and the quick-assembly 7-pin flat plug. Designed in Australia (built to their spec offshore), 100% Australian-owned. One thing worth getting right: a tow ball is rated to a capacity, so match it to your vehicle's tow rating and the loaded weight you're pulling, then the size to suit your hitch. Not sure? Tell us the rig and the load and we'll match it.
