You must be able to rely on your coupling. You can with VBG’s couplings. VBG’s couplings are well-known for their high quality, high reliability, and long service life with low maintenance costs. They offer you peace of mind, year in and year out.

VBG has EU-approved couplings for all types of transports, with 57, 50 and 40 mm eye dimensions. We have multi-trailer couplings for centre-axle trailers, dollies, and trailers, as well as comfort couplings only intended for trailers with articulated drawbars. The coupling can also be easily supplemented with the VBG Power Actuator or AM unit for air-assisted opening.
All couplings can also be supplemented with VBG MechMatic for automatic lubrication and cleaning.
Multi-trailer coupling – designed for centre-axle trailers, dollies, and trailers when you need to be able to couple all types of towed vehicles.
Comfort couplings – only intended for trailers with articulated drawbars.
Coupling for 10-hole fitting – designed for heavy transports at reduced speeds on roads and for industrial purposes.
The couplings have a fully automatic signal and lock pin, with clear markings for locked and open positions. One requirement for remote-controlled couplings in accordance with Directive ECE 55R is that warning lamps must be fitted in the cab. An easily installed position sensor and VBG’s Indicator kit provide the driver with information on whether the coupling is closed or open.
A rotating coupling bolt facilitates coupling and decoupling. It also increases the strength and prolongs the service life of the coupling bolt itself as well as the bushings. The lift axle is designed for multiple handle angles, and the handle is easy to replace.
As an optional extra, you can have the coupling factory-fitted to the drawbeam.
There are plenty of handles available as accessories, along with jackknife alarms, coupling mouth extenders and protective inserts for certain models.
In order to select the correct coupling model, you must know the performance values required by your vehicle. You can calculate this using the VBG Performance Value Calculator.
A manual coupling is operated by hand. This version does not require any additional components.
You can always supplement manual coupling with air-assisted opening (AM unit) or a power actuator (PA unit).
The Air Mechanism (AM) unit is a convenient, space-saving, all-in-one solution. Ideal for when your coupling is installed in a hard-to-reach, confined space. The mechanism has a single-acting diaphragm cylinder with a simple function for opening. A powerful spring is used for closing.
The VBG Power Actuator (PA) fits all VBG couplings and simplifies coupling and decoupling appreciably. The coupling is opened by means of a double-acting, pneumatically-controlled torsion device, which is operated by a manual value. A coupling fitted with a power actuator significantly improves the ergonomics and makes work a lot easier.
The VBG Multi Function Coupling (MFC) allows you to couple the trailer directly from the cab. Electrics, pneumatics and hydraulics are also connected completely automatically. This is the fastest, most convenient and safest method of coupling and decoupling.
