E3: THE FIRST ALL-ELECTRIC RETRACTABLE TOWBAR for independent workshops
from ORIS
ORIS presents the first all-electric retractable towbar for independent workshops.
The ORIS_E3 is the perfect solution for anyone who places value on speed and above all on ease of use and convenience. The system is characterized by great security, quality and robustness. Designed for flexibility and user-friendliness, the ORIS_E3 offers all the advantages of a fully automatic system as originally installed by car manufacturers. All of this is conveniently to hand at the touch of a button.
Speed and convinience
In terms of speed and ease of fit, the ORIS_E3 surpasses anything else in the market. At the touch of a button, the neck swings into the operating position and automatically locks into position in seconds. If the device is not needed, it retracts just as easily and quickly, and the neck disappears invisibly behind the bumper. It is conveniently operated via a pushbutton switch in the boot.
Convenience comes first
No bending, no contact, no effort: the automatic extension offers unprecedented ease of use and convenience
Quick to use
Reaches its operating mode in just a few seconds at the touch of a button. Maximum flexibility –for either regular or occasional use
Invisible & compactly installed
In the working position, the new product offers optimal ergonomics when coupling trailers or bike carriers thanks to its integrated electrical socket – all towbars feature the integrated and patented FIX4BIKE® system! A visual LED display and acoustic feedback also indicate the system’s operational readiness.
Invisible & compact installation
Ergonomically designed: the towball retracts completely under the car when not in use
