50mm tow ball cover cap – blue towbar protector
This simple tow ball cover keeps your towball clean and working as it should. Made from flexible PVC, it slips over all standard 50mm tow balls to block dirt, road salt and surface corrosion. It’s a proper handy bit of kit after winter drives or long trips when everything ends up a bit mucky.
Why this is handy
If the towball’s been left to rust, coupling up can be fiddly and the finish wears quicker. A little cover like this keeps grease where it should be, cuts down on rust and saves you a bit of faff each time you hook up a trailer. Perfect for cars, vans, lorries and trailers — basically anyone who wants their towing gear to stay in good nick.
What to expect

- Size: made for standard 50mm diameter tow balls (approx. 5 cm)
- Fit: push-on cap — no tools, no straps; just push it on and it sits snug

- Package: 1 x tow ball cover
Practical details and common questions
Fits standard 50mm tow balls only — if you’re unsure, measure across the widest point of the ball. The PVC helps keep grease in place, but if the towball is badly corroded or pitted the cap will help cosmetically; it won’t repair structural wear. For best results, give the ball a quick clean and re-grease before popping the cap on. Colours may vary slightly on-screen and allow a small tolerance in measurements due to manual measuring.
Use cases
- Keep the towball clean when the trailer isn’t connected
- Protect against salt and road grime during winter months
- A quick protective cover for vehicles stored outside
Simple, effective and cheap insurance for the part of the car that does a lot of the donkey work but often gets ignored. No complications — just fit and forget until the next towing job.
