Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Ringfeder shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Ringfeder offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Ringfeder at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Ringfeder? Wrong! If the Ringfeder is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Ringfeder then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Ringfeder? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Ringfeder and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Ringfeder wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Ringfeder then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Ringfeder site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Ringfeder, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Ringfeder, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

Ringfeder is the trading name of a Netherlands company that manufactures automatic bolt coupling devices. While they are not the sole manufacturer of these devices, their name (pronounced ring-feeder) has become the universal term. Ringfeder are part of the large Sweden company, VBG, also a manufacturer of automatic coupling devices. Another manufacturer is Rockinger, a part of the large Germany company, Jost.

What they are An automatic bolt coupling device comprises a Drawbar (haulage), a swivelable cast "bell" with a horizontal opening in the middle, a machined pin or "bolt", an automatic pin release mechanism, a safety locking device with actuating handle and a cushioned mounting plate. The design of the pin allows oscillation and articulation of up to 70 degrees around the drawbar eye. The coupling can also oscillate through 360 degrees.

How they work A Ringfeder is typically mounted to a specially designed and built crossmember on the rear of the vehicle. This could be on the rear of a rigid truck, prime mover or Trailer (vehicle). This mount also includes air, electrical and, if necessary, hydraulic fittings.

Firstly, the vehicle is reversed up to the drawbar of the trailer/dolly, stopping short of hitting. The height of the drawbar is checked, and adjusted accordingly. The safety catch handle on the upper left of the Ringfeder is pulled out and turned 90 degrees, and then allowed to return into the upper detent on the shaft collar. This then allows the actuator handle on the right of the body to be lifted to the stop. This pulls the bolt upwards, and sets the automatic tripping function. The Ringfeder is now ready to be coupled.

The vehicle is reversed slowly until the drawbar eye enters the bell, tripping the bolt and closing the coupling. A check is made of the coupling to ensure full engagement, airlines and electrics hooked up and drawbar leg stowed.

Uses Ringfeders are used in nearly all aspects of world transport, the most common being LGVs (Large Goods Vehicles) throughout Europe, and road trains in Australia. United States uses a similar product known as a "Pintle Hook" or tow hitch.
