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.

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.
