Device and function
The Farop is a device designed to be towed for goods and light trailers known as the Trough-coupling device. The Farop is a ball of about 50 mm in diameter, which is dockable on the lower back of the vehicle, usually on the body or frame. At the top of the ball, the coupling head of the tow trailer is docked. As a rule, in addition to the drawbar itself, the headlamp shall be equipped with an electrical outlet for the electrical connection of the trailer to the motor vehicle. The car's car is capable of withstanding not only traction and braking forces, but also in the case of a single axle, the load is vertical. The same Farkop can protect the car's bumper in a light collision.
Varieties
Fargops are of different types: fixed, demountable, and flanged. The removable porcop is almost no different from the fixed, except that it can be rolled up and put in the trunk and do not spoil the appearance of the car. Removable porcelons are often part of the standard fitting out of off-road pickups. The flanges in their distant relatives have in their distant relatives the saddle couplers of the trucks. They are installed on a special platform in the rear of the vehicle, often pick-up, and secured by two or four bolts. The Flange farcop can also be removed, but it is much more difficult to do than with a simple removable device. Flanged porcopes are reliable but are designed to carry larger and heavier loads. They're also demanding to the car itself. At a minimum, it must be with a mean structure of the body.
