The client approached Fabtek with a concept for a detachable tow hitch that would improve on existing designs.
Available solutions relied on removable pins and sliding sections, which were less user-friendly and could lead to lost components or unwanted movement.
The goal was to develop a design that was simpler to use, more secure, and suitable for patenting.
We worked closely with the client to develop a new design that addressed both usability and performance.
This involved:
The final design provided a simpler, more user-friendly solution with improved tolerances and reduced rattle.
Fabtek manufactured an initial production run, followed by additional variants to suit different applications.
The product is now produced in ongoing runs, supporting the client’s continued development and supply.
The project demonstrates our ability to take an idea through design, prototyping, and into production.
“We wanted something more user-friendly and simpler to use, with no removable pins… as well as a unique design that we could patent.”
