yes that is correct you need a nato hitch mark two (minimum) That what i was referring to a pin and eye with a quick release, which as you correctly stated is 5000kg this also has to be correctly installed. I have also have a air ride trailer, where the axles are on hydraulics. You can lower the whole bed to the floor just sits there completely flat on the floor. Just pushed the car on, then pumps the bed up so the pins lock in and hitch to the car and drive away. ( you can of course leave it hitched up and lower the bed which causes a slope then just winch the car up) I use it to trailer by classic cars, great bit of kit. I believe it was used in the army as it has that sturdy feel about it, unfortunately it is not plated but easily carrys rollers and Bentley to shows etc Gary
