Frequently asked questions about all- electric retractable towbars in a complete set

A DUO complete set consists of an ORIS towbar and a vehicle-specific 13-pin wiring kit. Both components are perfectly matched and are supplied as a complete solution.

Combining all necessary components in a single kit reduces effort and minimises the risk of errors. Selection, ordering and installation are significantly simplified, and the functionality of all systems is optimally ensured.

The towbar is automatically extended and retracted at the touch of a button. The entire process is electric and requires no manual effort.

Yes. The vehicle-specific wiring kit is precisely tailored to the respective vehicle and enables seamless integration into the vehicle’s electrical system.

Suitable complete sets are available for many vehicles. Installation is carried out by a specialist workshop, which handles both the mechanical and electrical integration.

The wiring kit establishes the electrical connection between the vehicle and the trailer. It transmits light signals, supports driver assistance systems and ensures the safe operation of all electrical components.

For anyone who wants maximum convenience, ease of use and a technically perfect, fully integrated solution.

Yes. When retracted, the ORIS E3 disappears completely behind the bumper and is barely visible from the outside.

Extremely convenient. There is no need to attach or remove it manually. No bending down, no fiddling about – everything happens automatically. The system features several safety functions, such as anti-pinch protection, automatic locking, and visual and audible indicators to confirm it is ready for use.

For anyone who values comfort, design and ease of use. It is particularly appealing to drivers of modern vehicles and users who only need the towbar occasionally.

The ORIS E3 was developed specifically for retrofitting and is available for numerous vehicle models. Installation is carried out by a specialist workshop and is like that of conventional towbars, supplemented by the electrical integration.

Depending on the vehicle, towing capacities of up to approximately 2,400 kg are possible. The system therefore meets typical requirements and even exceeds them.

Due to its design, a retractable towbar involves greater technical complexity than fixed or detachable systems. This is particularly noticeable in the price, as electrical components and controls are integrated alongside the mechanical parts. However, there are significant advantages in everyday use. The high level of user-friendliness, the discreet integration and the fact that it is always ready for use quickly outweigh these points for many users.

The cost of a retractable towbar varies depending on the vehicle model, technical specifications and installation complexity. The exact price depends, among other things, on how complex the integration into the vehicle’s electrical system is, which driver assistance systems need to be considered, and how much installation work is required for the specific vehicle.

Yes, a retractable towbar can be easily retrofitted to many vehicles, provided a suitable vehicle-specific solution is available.

Modern systems such as the ORIS E3 have been specifically developed for the retrofit market and are based on original equipment standards. This enables seamless integration into existing vehicle structures and electronic systems.

It is important that the installation is carried out by a specialist workshop to ensure full functionality and safety.

No, a retractable towbar is permanently attached to the vehicle and cannot be removed. Instead, it is electrically swivelled out from the underbody when required and retracted back under the vehicle out of sight after use. This eliminates the need to manually attach or stow a ball neck.

This design ensures maximum convenience and a permanently integrated solution without any additional steps.

It refers to the mechanical coupling device between a vehicle and a trailer or accessories such as bike carriers. The towbar transmits the towing forces and, in combination with a wiring kit, controls electrical functions such as lighting or signals.

Depending on the design, a distinction is made between fixed, detachable and retractable towbars, each of which meets different requirements and covers different areas of application. Our retractable towbars can also be retrofitted.
