What Pintle Hitches Do
Pintle hitches are heavy-duty towing connections designed for equipment trailers, construction trailers, and utility applications that need strength and articulation.
Choosing the Right Rating
Gross trailer weight, tongue weight, mounting height, frame strength, safety chains, and expected road conditions all factor into the correct hitch selection.
