Most of the tow bars available on the market are manufactured in Polish factories. Alongside companies such as AUTO-HAK, XIMPLIO and STEINHOF, IMIOŁA is one of Poland’s largest tow bar manufacturers. Today, we will take a closer look at this brand’s products. What does IMIOŁA HAK-POL have to offer its customers? What makes their products stand out from the competition? Read this article to find out everything there is to know about the IMIOŁA brand at Towbars-online!
IMIOŁA – history of the Polish towing hitch manufacturer
IMIOLA (also known as IMIOŁA HAK-POL) is a Polish brand that specialises in producing towbars for passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Established in 1991, it quickly gained the trust of customers who appreciated the high quality of its products. Since its inception, the brand’s production plant has been located in Chojnata, a small town near Warsaw.
Today, IMIOŁA stands out from many other towing hitch manufacturers thanks to its extensive product range and advanced production methods. According to the brand’s official website, IMIOŁA produces towbars for over 500 vehicles! Its range includes towbars for car brands such as Alfa Romeo, BMW, Ford, Peugeot, Volkswagen, Volvo and Mercedes, as well as commercial vehicles such as Iveco.
IMIOŁA uses the most modern and reliable processes to produce its towbars. These include the use of laser cutters and automated welding stations, for example. The brand also ensures weather resistance: each tow bar is cleaned in a sandblasting booth, phosphated, and then painted using powder coating technology.
All of these features make IMIOŁA tow bars truly exemplary in terms of quality. Which ones can we recommend in particular? Let’s find out!
IMIOŁA – fixed towbars
Fixed tow bars are permanently bolted to the car. This is no longer the case today. This type of tow bar is excellent for van owners and drivers, offering affordability, simple design and reliability. You can choose between:
- Swanneck towball,
- Flange towball.
IMIOŁA – towbars with detachable towball
Another type of tow bar available from IMIOŁA are tow bars with removable towballs. This is currently the most convenient type of tow bar – you don’t need any tools to remove the towball.
Detachable towbars fall into two categories:
- Horizontally detachable towballs and;
- Vertically detachable towballs.
As their names suggest, the main difference between these two types lies in how the ball is removed. With a vertically detachable tow bar, the towball is removed by pulling it upwards. With a horizontally detachable towing hitch, the ball must be pulled to the side after the lever has been released.
The IMIOŁA brand offers towbars with anti-theft protection.
They are the ideal solution for those who want the convenience of a removable towbar without compromising on security. The mechanism works as follows: after lowering the lever that holds the hook, the key must be turned. This locks the towball and ensures that it cannot be removed without the correct key.
Towbars for cars from the United States
In the United States, tow bars are mounted completely differently to how they are in Europe – cars there are equipped with special square sockets into which the tow bar is inserted. American motorists also encounter a problem with the size of the towball, which differs from the European standard. Although this difference may seem minimal (58 millimetres in the US and 50 millimetres in Europe), it means that it is impossible to connect a trailer or bike rack to an American tow bar.
To address these issues, IMIOŁA offers tow bars designed specifically for American cars. These allow you to fit a tow bar to your classic American car or powerful pick-up truck that will work perfectly in Europe.
