15.01.2022 A message for anyone who tows a boat or caravan. SA Police have received several reports indicating split pins (also known as R Pins) have been removed from ...hitch pins which secure a tow bar to a vehicle (trailer ball mount). The owners were not aware the split pins had been removed until they attempted to tow their caravans and boats and the coupling has failed. Removal of split pins is a serious safety concern, especially if a towing vehicle is travelling at speed. All caravan and boat owners are asked to be vigilant and check their tow couplings as part of their normal safety check prior to towing. Specifically designed locks are available to prevent this issue. In short: Please check the split pins BEFORE driving!

05.01.2022 MEDIA STATEMENT 16 SEPTEMBER 2019 BIG WIN FOR CARAVAN AND TRAILER TOWING COMMUNITY GOVERNMENTS ACCEPT TESTING REGIME FOR INCREASED TOWING UPGRADES... South Australia has joined New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania in allowing motorists to carry and tow more weight. Reversing a 12 month ban, the South Australian Government has accepted a new testing regime that proved the safety and integrity of towing upgrades and Gross Combination Mass revisions. And Western Australia is set to make a decision on the same testing regime later this year. The State and Territory jurisdictions cover in-service vehicles those that have left the showroom floor. In line with the current Australian Design Rules, GCM revision and towing upgrades can be done on pre-registered vehicles by Second Stage Manufacturers with applicable evidence packages. Only Queensland and the Northern Territory motorists are being disadvantaged compared to their counterparts across the rest of Australia. Industry leader Lovells Automotive Systems said the company was able to prove to Transport SA that its rigorous regime of engineering tests, based on current Australian design Rules and International standards, delivered a safe product. Lovells General Manager, Mike Davison said the new South Australian regulations required that the vehicle modification for the towing upgrades and GCM revision be undertaken by a Second Stage Manufacturer such as Lovells and then inspected by a qualified automotive engineer. Mr Davison said the majority of Australian motorists could now have their vehicles legally upgraded and be confident that they were not breaking road rules or voiding their insurance by towing too much. The usable payload and factory GCM of most 4X4 vehicles today is minimal, Mr Davison said. The addition of basic optional accessories and equipment, plus two or three adult occupants will bring the vehicle close to its legal maximum weight capacities. Add long range fuel tanks, bull bars, a winch, side steps, roof racks, recovery gear, a payload of camping equipment or tool boxes, or an industrial style custom body, and the vehicle may exceed its legal capacities, which include axle assemblies, GVM and GCM, Mr Davison said. That’s even before you add the caravan or trailer, where ball weights and towing capacities are easily exceeded. Without an increase in legal towing capacities, many people towing caravans or trailers have been unknowingly breaking the law and voiding their insurance. Luckily QLD do allow Towing Upgrades for in service vehicles, however without allowing a GCM revision, towing upgrades are virtually superfluous. We know that the community needs greater towing capacities and revised Gross Combination Mass on vehicles which have the capabilities, and we have fought for 12 months to reinstate these upgrades in SA. We hope the WA Government accepts that towing and GCM upgrades can be done safely, and that the WA caravanning and towing public can once again drive safely and legally on the roads of Western Australia. Mr Davison said Lovells had always rigorously tested every vehicle it modifies in accordance with Australian and International Standards to increase the Gross Combination Mass of vehicles this includes critical component analysis and testing of brakes, suspension, chassis, engine, transmission, driveshaft, differentials, cooling systems, tow bars, tow points and tow hitches both individually and as a combination.
