A bumper device (10) comprising a bumper formation (12) and a mounting formation (14) for releasably mounting the bumper device (10) to a ball-and-socket type trailer hitch of a trailer, in an arrangement wherein the bumper formation (12) is disposed operatively in front of the trailer hitch. The mounting formation (14) comprises a horizontally projecting base formation (26), and a ball formation (32). The bumper device (10) is releasably attached to the trailer hitch by locating the ball formation (32) in the socket of the trailer hitch. The bumper device (10) protects the bodywork of the towing vehicle when coupling the trailer to the towing vehicle by providing a large impact absorbent surface area that prevents impact between the trailer hitch and the vehicle. The bumper device (10) can also be used as a spacer for optimally spacing the socket of the trailer hitch of the trailer behind the vehicle when hitching the trailer to the vehicle. |
