GDW towbars

GDW head office

The GDW Group was founded in 1952 by Germain Deconinck in Waregem, Belgium. The initials of the founder and the headquarters in Waregem make up the name of the Belgian company. At the 5 production sites in Belgium (2x), France (2x) and Denmark, several thousand people work on designing and producing the perfectly fitting towbar for every vehicle. Through decades of experience, GDW has become a established name in the towbar market.

According to its own information, GDW was the first manufacturer in the world to be able to produce both a fixed and a detachable towbar for a vehicle. Innovation, flexibility and corresponding quality are values with which we and GDW identify 100% and make us proud to have been working with the Belgian company for many years.

fixed GDW towbars

GDW T43, GDW T44, GDW T45, GDW T48

GDW T43, GDW T44, GDW T45, GDW T48

  • fixed towbar
  • with bolted-on ball head
  • suitable for bike carriers

We distribute 4 types of fixed GDW trailer systems: T43, T44, T45 and T48. These differ only in the adapter plate to be used. Fixed GDW systems are especially recommended for customers who regularly and frequently use their towbar and are dependent on higher tractive forces.

Since the ball head cannot be removed in the case of fixed systems, these systems are also comparatively cheaper. Another piece of advice we give to our customers is that the ball head on a fixed GDW towbar can be perceived as an obstacle in vehicles with PDC (parking assistance system), which leads to a permanent warning sound when reversing.

For some years now we have been selling GDW detachable towbars in the types T30, T35, T36, T38 and recently also the GDW T60. These towbar systems are especially suitable for customers who rarely use their towbar and consider the "optical aspect".

Especially the detachable & vertically inserted GDW towbars (GDW T30) are almost invisible when not in use and have been removed. Compared to fixed GDW towbars and GDW towing brackets, the detachable GDW systems are more expensive, but also offer more convenience.

A towing bracket from GDW is a special type of towbar. We sell this system with a 2-hole ball flange (GDW 50T) and a 4-hole ball flange (GDW 50V). We recommend towing brackets especially for vehicles where the optical aspect is less important and it comes down to pure traction, because a high traction is the great advantage of a GDW towing bracket.
