ORIS: SO YOU CAN GET YOUR BOAT SAFELY TO THE WATER

Whether it’s a sailing boat, motorboat, inflatable or small yacht: anyone who wants to use their boat flexibly needs a reliable transport solution. After all, many trips don’t just start at the jetty, in the harbour or on the water, but on the road – with the boat trailer attached to the vehicle.

ORIS towbars provide the perfect connection for this. They enable the safe transport of boat trailers and help make leisure time, holidays and water sports more flexible.

Safe boat transport with ORIS

For marinas, lakes, holidays and winter storage: towbars for boat transport

The boat is ready, the destination is set and the next trip is planned. But before heading out onto the water, the boat often first needs to be taken to where the adventure begins: to the slipway, the harbour, the lake, the workshop or winter storage.

This is precisely where the towbar becomes a vital part of the hobby. It reliably connects the vehicle to the boat trailer, making it possible to move your own boat with flexibility. This means that water sports are no longer tied to a fixed location, but become mobile.

With an ORIS towbar, boat owners can use their vehicle specifically for transporting boat trailers – tailored to their particular vehicle, the permissible trailer load and their personal leisure needs.

ORIS towbars score highly for safety and reliability

When transporting a boat, high forces act on the vehicle, the towbar and the trailer. Accelerating, braking, steering, manoeuvring or reversing at the slipway place particular demands on the connection between the towing vehicle and the boat trailer.

ORIS develops towbars for numerous vehicle models and a variety of applications. Depending on the vehicle and intended use, fixed towbars, detachable towbars or fully electric retractable towbars are available.

For boat transport, this means that the towbar must not only function properly, but also fit the vehicle, lock securely and be reliable in everyday use. This is precisely what ORIS stands for, with many years’ experience in the development and manufacture of high-quality towbar systems – and towbars for every application.

The right towbar for your boat trailer

Anyone who regularly travels with a boat trailer places different demands on their vehicle than someone who only uses the towbar occasionally. That’s why ORIS offers various systems to meet different requirements.

A fixed towbar is particularly practical if it is used frequently and needs to be ready for use at all times. A detachable towbar is suitable for anyone who wants to use their vehicle in everyday life without a visible tow ball. For applications where comfort is a priority, fully electric retractable systems can be an interesting solution.

It is always important to ensure that the towbar is compatible with the vehicle and suitable for the permissible trailer load. Particularly when transporting a boat, the vehicle, boat trailer, drawbar load and total weight must be carefully coordinated.
