Which two classes are the available towbars categorized into?

Towbars used in the Navy are categorized into universal and peculiar classes based on their design and application. Universal towbars are designed to fit multiple types or models of equipment, providing versatility and standardization for various towing requirements across a range of vehicles or equipment. This adaptability makes them suitable for general use in different operational contexts.

On the other hand, peculiar towbars are specifically designed for particular models or types of equipment. These towbars are customized to meet the unique requirements of certain vehicles or machinery, ensuring a secure and efficient connection for towing specific loads. By distinguishing between universal and peculiar towbars, the Navy ensures that both common and specialized equipment is appropriately managed and utilized, enhancing operational efficiency and safety during towing operations.
