Drawbeams & Endplates
VBG has a wide range of Drawbeams and endplates available. Shown below are those most commonly used in the UK. Please contact us to discuss your requirements or for advice on specification.
DB 75V
Drawbeam DB 75V is adapted for heavy centre-axle trailers. The Drawbeam can be mounted centrally in the chassis frame, or completely or partially under slung by means of VBG's range of endplate kits.
Type Approval No: e11*94/20*4041
DBI 150
DBI 150 is a Drawbeam mainly adapted for centre-axle trailers that require a low under slung coupling moved to the front. This enables a short distance between the truck and towed vehicle. The Drawbeam is fitted inside the frame, its design permitting full angular displacement of the towed vehicle's drawbar and placement close to the rear axle of the truck. DBI 150 has been dynamically tested and approved in accordance with EU directive 94/20/EC.
Complete Corrosion Protection on VBG Drawbeams
The Drawbeam is first surface treated with a zinc-manganese phosphatising process that reduces creeping rust if the paint should be damaged. After this a topcoat is applied through electrolytic dipping, a so-called ED finish. This method ensures that the paint penetrates into the tubing and cavities, and further improves resistance to corrosion. The Drawbeam is finally given a topcoat with friction-charged powder coating. The result after oven-hardening is a bright, tough surface with very high resistance to abrasion, stone spatter and environments with a high salt content.
EDK (Long & Short)
VBG's endplates are reasonably priced and come pre-drilled to take the Drawbeam. Bolt kits are available for fitting the endplate kit to the vehicle frame and Drawbeam.
