In agriculture, construction, and even military applications, pintle hitches are trusted products for specialized towing.
They are known for their high weight capacity and simple design.
Essentially, the basic pintle hitch is a hook and loop, with the hook attached to the vehicle and the loop mounted on the trailer.
Due to their simple design, pintle hitches can have thicker metal construction and more secure coupling.
CURT combination ball and pintle hitches combine both a pintle hook and a standard trailer ball to provide a more complete towing option on your heavy-duty truck or SUV.
Available with a shank to mount on a receiver or in an adjustable style to mount on a channel or plate, this particular CURT combination pintle and ball mount features a ball capacity of 6,000 lbs.
and a pintle capacity of 16,000 lbs.
(NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e.
the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc).
It fits any lunette ring with a 2-1/2" inside eye diameter and features a changeable 2" trailer ball with a hard chrome finish.
Included in this package is a safety pin and bolt kit.
The heavyweight towing done with pintle hitches implies a certain amount of wear and tear on your towing equipment, and to prepare for this, CURT uses a quality finish on all pintle mounts, lunette eyes, and combination pintle hitches.
This combination ball/pintle hook is coated in a black powder coat finish to provide the necessary rust and scratch resistance for the heavy-duty towing you do every day.
