Hitch-Ball Couplers
For an easy towing hookup, bolt or weld these couplers to a trailer. They connect to the hitch ball on a vehicle and secure with a lever latch. Maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed.
Straight couplers bolt to a single-channel trailer tongue.
Height-adjusting couplers raise and lower to match the height of your hitch ball and level your trailer. This distributes the load on your tires better than straight or A-frame couplers. A spring-loaded latch on these couplers automatically opens and closes around the ball.
A-frame couplers weld onto a two-channel trailer tongue set at a 50° angle.
Couplers with a lockable lever help prevent accidental uncoupling while driving. They have a hole in the latch, so you can secure it with a pin, padlock, or coupler lock (sold separately). Some couplers include a pin.

Hitch Inserts

Use these inserts in hitch-ball connections for towing. They fit into a receiver that's attached to a vehicle. Maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed. Vertical capacity (also known as tongue weight) represents the weight of the load on the hitch ball.
Height adapters for hitch balls raise or drop the ball to the height that works for your trailer. From the drop position, rotate the adapter 180° to achieve the raise position. Adapters made from stainless steel offer the most long-term corrosion resistance.
Combination ball/eyes give you the versatility of mating with a drawbar ring or hitch-ball coupler.
Multi-size hitch balls provide two or three sizes in one. The larger hitch ball sizes have higher capacities.
Height adjusting multi-size hitch balls provide three sizes in one and can raise or drop the ball to the height that works for your trailer. The larger hitch ball sizes have higher capacities.
Eyes and combination ball/eyes with multi-size hitch balls allow for more range of movement than ball hitches, making them good for use on uneven surfaces. Since they can also tow higher capacities than ball hitches, they’re often used to haul large items.
Use clevises as a hitch or ball mount to connect parts for towing. They can also be used with rings.
Use rings with clevises to evenly distribute pressure. They also keep tow chains and straps from slipping.
Use hooks and multi-size hitch balls with hook to attach towing chains, straps, or cable to haul heavy objects, such as vehicles.
Shackles pivot around a pin, so you can choose the right towing angle. Tighten the pin to secure the shackle in place.

Mounting Plate Inserts for Drawbar Couplers

These inserts allow you to connect a drawbar coupler to a hitch receiver on a vehicle for towing. Fit them into a receiver and mount a coupler to the mounting plate. The more mounting holes a plate has, the more you can adjust the position of the coupler to match the height of your trailer.
Powder-coated inserts are more corrosion resistant than painted inserts.
Maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed. Vertical capacity (also known as tongue weight) represents the weight of the load on the drawbar ring.

Drawbar Couplers

Also known as pintle hitches, these are used with drawbar rings to connect a trailer to your vehicle for towing. Maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed. Vertical capacity (also known as tongue weight) represents the weight of the load on the drawbar ring or hitch ball. Use Grade 8 fasteners (included with some couplers) for mounting. Mount couplers directly to a vehicle or use a mounting plate insert to mount them to a hitch receiver. See Mounting Plate Inserts for Drawbar Couplers and Hitch Receivers.
Combination ball/eye couplers include a ball for use with hitch-ball connections.
Couplers with a vertical latch move up to open. They are the most common type.
Note: Capacity is reduced 25% in off-road use.

Hitch Kits





Everything you need to attach a hitch to your vehicle's receiver—these kits include a hitch insert, ball, and pin. To match the height of your trailer, you can flip them over to raise or drop the ball. The ball in these kits connects with hitch-ball couplers on trailers. Maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed. Vertical capacity (also known as tongue weight) is the weight of the load on the hitch ball.
Kits with a locking hitch pin prevent your hitch from getting stolen—you can't pull the hitch insert out without the key. A dust cap keeps debris out of the locking mechanism.

Fork-Mount Towing Adapters

Modify your forklift to tow machines, trailers, and disabled vehicles. These adapters have a hitch receiver that works with hitch inserts, mounting plate inserts, drawbar couplers, and other towing connectors. Lock adapters in place with a connecting pin behind each fork, then wrap the chain around your carriage.
Add bumper inserts to these adapters to push equipment instead of pulling it. The bumper is rubber, so it won’t scratch surfaces.

Hitch-Ball Coupler Locks
Insert these locks into the hitch-ball coupler latch or socket on your trailer to prevent theft. Each lock is plated or powder-coated to stand up to weather, so you can use them on outdoor trailers without worrying about corrosion.
Style A locks block the latch lever, so no one can open the latch and connect their own vehicle without the key. These locks are a good choice when your vehicle and trailer are unsupervised, such as at refueling stops.
Style B and C locks block access to the socket, so no one can hitch your trailer without the key. These locks are a good choice when your trailer is unhitched from your vehicle, such as during drop-offs or while in storage. Style B locks are one piece and compact for easy installation and storage. Made of aluminum, they resist corrosion better than steel locks. Style C locks can also be used on ring-type hitches. Made of two hardened steel pieces, they’re heavy duty and stand up to attempts to cut them open better than aluminum locks.
Choose keyed alike locks if you need several locks that open with the same key. Choose keyed differently locks if you need locks that each open with a different key.
