TowGlide / How It Works

UK-designed and manufactured auto-align A-frame with patented WedgIT™, unique POZILOCK pins and electronic dual-sensing power braking

Two parts working as one system

TowGlide is the UK-made auto-align A-frame. Tow A Frame’s braking system is the electronic proportional power-braking installation, currently using Demco components. We combine the two into one fitted towing solution.

Electronic dual-sensing power braking system

Demco Duo electronic braking controller

Electronic sensing

The Demco Duo control system uses the motorhome brake-light signal together with the G-force / deceleration sensor in the tow car. Both signals are used to determine when braking is required and how much braking effort is needed.

TowGlide vacuum-assisted brake actuator

Vacuum-assisted braking

The vacuum system restores power assistance to the tow car braking system, while the actuator applies the brake pedal in response to the electronic control signal.

Proportional response

The braking effort mirrors the motorhome’s braking demand rather than simply switching on or off. Light braking produces a light response; harder braking produces progressively greater braking effort.

Installation — normally completed in a day

The front of the vehicle is removed for access. We fit the prepared/exchange components and braking equipment, then rebuild the vehicle, test the system and carry out a full handover.

Crumple-zone principle: we assess the original crash beam and mounting structure for each installation. Retaining the beam does not, by itself, demonstrate that the vehicle’s original crash performance is unchanged.

TowGlide connection equipment

TowGlide Pozilok pin

POZILOCK pins

Positive push-and-turn locking pins designed for secure, quick connection and easy visual checking.

TowGlide WedgIT alignment tool

WedgIT™

Our patented lightweight alignment tool helps bring the connection into line when the car and motorhome are not perfectly positioned.
