Brink Manuals & User Guides

Brink Group is a world-renowned manufacturer specializing in the development and production of towing systems and wiring kits. With a strong focus on safety, ease of use, and innovative design, Brink offers a comprehensive range of towbars—including fixed, detachable, and retractable models—tailored to fit virtually all major vehicle brands.

Formerly operating under the Thule Towing Systems name, Brink has re-established its independent identity as a premium partner for both automotive manufacturers (OEM) and the aftermarket. Their products are designed to meet strict international safety standards, such as ECE R55, ensuring secure connections for caravans, boat trailers, horseboxes, and bike carriers. Brink collaborates closely with car manufacturers to ensure their towing solutions assist rather than interfere with modern vehicle safety systems and electronics.

• Can I install a Brink towbar on an electric or hybrid vehicle?

  Yes, Brink offers specific towbars for many electric and hybrid vehicles. However, installation on HV (High Voltage) vehicles must be performed by qualified personnel due to safety risks.

• Does installing a Brink towbar require cutting the bumper?

  This depends on your specific vehicle model and towbar type. Some installations require a bumper cutout. Brink manuals often provide a 'Smart position sticker' or template to guide the necessary modifications correctly.

• What maintenance does a Brink detachable towbar require?

  The housing of the detachable mechanism should be kept clean (free of dirt and corrosion) and periodically lubricated with resin-free grease or oil to ensure smooth operation.

• Where can I find the torque specifications for my towbar installation?

  Refer to the specific installation manual or drawing included with your product. Torque values (Nm) vary depending on the bolt size (e.g., M10, M12) and grade (e.g., 8.8, 10.9).

• What is the warranty period for Brink products?

  Brink typically offers a warranty on materials and construction. For specific terms, including extended warranties for professionally installed units, check the warranty documentation provided with your product or on the official Brink web대지.
