In agriculture, construction and even military applications, pintle hitches are the trusted product of specialized towing. They are notorious for their highweight capacity and simple design. The basic pintle hitch is essentially a hook and loop, with the hook attached to the vehicle and the loop-mounted on the trailer. Because of their simple design, pintle hitches are able to have thicker metal construction and more secure coupling. Curt has a wide variety of pintle hitches and pintle-style products to give you a complete solution for your heavy-duty towing needs. This adjustable pintle mount is designed to accept a bolt-on pintle hook or combination ball and pintle. It features a series of mounting holes to provide three different mounting heights for the hook and can be mounted in any 2 x 2 in receiver tube opening. This pintle mount offers a gross trailer weight capacity up to 10,000 lb and features a total plate height of 7 in, providing up to 6-1/2 in of drop (Note - not for use in rise position; never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component, i.e. The vehicle, hitch, trailer and more). 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 our pintle mounts, lunette eyes and combination pintle hitches. This pintle mount is coated in a tough black carbide powder coat finish to provide the perfect amount of rust and scratch resistance needed to face the heavy-duty towing you do every day.
