Founded in Poland, the company has developed into one of the leading suppliers in the industry with an annual production capacity of over 200,000 towbars. In this blog post, you will find out more about Steinhof’s history, technology and product diversity and why this company is the right choice for your towbar.
A leading manufacturer in Europe
Steinhof offers an extensive catalogue of towbars for over 2500 vehicle models, including small cars, SUVs, commercial vehicles and motorhomes. The company supplies both private customers and well-known car manufacturers and works closely with dealers and garages. With a network covering over 25 countries in Europe and beyond, Steinhof is able to fulfil international customer requirements.

Product portfolio – the right solution for every requirement
Steinhof offers a wide range of towbars tailored to the needs of different vehicle types:
- Rigid towbars: These models are ideal for regular use and offer a high level of stability. They are often used on commercial vehicles or for commercial purposes. Steinhof offers both pin and flanged ball systems for rigid towbars.
- Detachable towbars: Steinhof offers both horizontally and vertically detachable systems. Particularly noteworthy is the W10 towbar from our own production, which enables innovative vertical detachment. This system is not only functional, but also aesthetically pleasing, as the towbar is almost invisible when not in use.
- Swivelling towbars: New to the range is the W13, a swivelling towbar that was introduced in 2024. This combines the stability of a rigid coupling with the flexibility of a detachable one. When not in use, the coupling can simply be swivelled under the vehicle. This system is becoming increasingly popular and is recognised as being user-friendly solution.
Technology and safety – certified quality
Steinhof is renowned for the quality and safety of its products. Each towbar is manufactured to the highest standards and certified according to strict European safety standards. The company fulfils the ISO 9001:2015 standard, which applies to quality management systems, and all Steinhof towbars have the EC certificate, which ensures the legal requirements for use throughout the European Union.
Special attention is paid to corrosion protection. Many Steinhof models are hot-dip galvanised or have a KTL coating, which significantly extends the service life of the couplings and makes them resistant to environmental factors such as moisture and salt.
The company also offers insights into the production of its products. In several documentary and promotional films, Steinhof presents the production of towbars and provides an overview of the company. Here is an example:
