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.
Combination ball/eyes give you the versatility of mating with a drawbar ring or hitch-ball coupler. The higher capacity is for the drawbar ring; the lower capacity is for the hitch ball.
Multi-size hitch balls provide 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.

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. Couplers with a horizontal latch swing open sideways. Use these if there is not enough space above the coupler to open a vertical latch.

Automatic Trailer Couplers
For an easy connection, push the trailer-mounted ring into the vehicle-mounted jaw of these couplers, and a spring-loaded lever automatically secures the ring for towing. To uncouple, depress the lever; components won't uncouple when turning or going over small obstacles. Use for towing over level surfaces. Not recommended for highway use. Maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed.

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 Pin Locks
Secure trailers to vehicles by locking the hitch pin into the receiver—you can't disconnect the trailer without the key. Use them to prevent someone from stealing your trailer or moving it. Built to stand up to any weather, they're great for outdoor trailers. The lock body rotates around your hitch pin, so you can easily reach the key into the cylinder to unlock. A plastic cover protects the key cylinder from water and debris, so it won’t freeze, corrode, or jam.
Style A lock from the side of your vehicle—access to the key cylinder is perpendicular to the hitch. These locks do not include a hole for a cotter pin. Made of steel, they’re stronger than stainless steel locks. Chrome plating adds corrosion resistance. The included cover is a separate piece.
Locks for 1 1/4" hitch receivers fit class I and II hitches. Locks for 2" square hitch receivers fit class III and IV hitches. Locks for 2 1/2" square hitch receivers fit class III-V hitches.
Choose keyed differently locks if you need locks that each open with a different key.
