Mobile towbar fitting in Ilkeston

Mobile towbar fitting across the Midlands, at your home or work.

Ilkeston is the biggest town in the Erewash borough, with around 41,000 people at the 2021 census. We fit towbars and electrics at your home or workplace anywhere in the town.

Towbar fitting across Ilkeston

It sits on the River Erewash between Derby and Nottingham, with its eastern edge on the Nottinghamshire border. We cover the whole town, including Kirk Hallam and Hallam Fields, as well as nearby places such as West Hallam, Shipley, Cotmanhay and Stanton by Dale.

Ilkeston went without a railway station from 1967 until 2017, when a new one opened. With the A6007 running through the town and Junction 26 of the M1 close by, it’s an easy place for us to reach.

Shipley Country Park on the edge of town is a favourite for walks and days out, and every October Ilkeston’s Charter Fair, which dates back to a charter granted in 1252, fills the Market Place. Whether you tow a caravan, a trailer or a small boat, we’ll find the right towbar.

We fit fixed flange, fixed swan neck and detachable towbars, all with 13-pin dedicated electrics. With so many Kugas and Transit Customs locally, we’re used to fitting both family SUVs and work vans.
