Tow Hitch for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: EPDM Rubber
This tow hitch for the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is specified around epdm rubber, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is a specification nobody had written down, or premature wear on the first batch. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Questions buyers ask
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the DOT-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
