Description
The Weigh Safe 8-Inch Drop Hitch with a 2.5-inch shank is a versatile and reliable accessory designed for secure towing of large trailers. Crafted from durable 6061 T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel, this adjustable ball mount combines strength with lightweight construction, ensuring long-lasting performance. Its brushed aluminum finish provides a sleek appearance while resisting corrosion, making it suitable for various towing conditions. The hitch's design allows seamless transition between drop and rise positions, accommodating different trailer heights for optimal alignment. This feature simplifies setup and ensures your trailer maintains proper tongue weight distribution, promoting safer towing experiences.
A key feature of this hitch is its built-in hydraulic scale, the only one in the industry that accurately measures tongue weight directly on the mount. This ensures that 10-15% of the gross trailer weight is applied to the tow ball, minimizing trailer sway and reducing the risk of jackknifing. The maximum tongue weight capacity of 2,200 pounds and gross towing weight of 18,500 pounds make it suitable for heavy-duty applications. Installation is straightforward, as no drilling is required, and the hitch attaches directly to a 2.5-inch receiver. Designed for Class V hitches, it provides a secure and stable connection to your towing vehicle.
This product is part of the Aluminum Weigh Safe line, emphasizing quality and precision. The inclusion of stainless steel tow balls enhances durability and safety during towing operations. The hitch is compliant with Prop 65 requirements, ensuring safety standards are met. Whether you're hauling RVs, boats, or large trailers, the Weigh Safe 8-inch Drop Hitch with a 2.5-inch shank offers peace of mind, precise load management, and a robust construction for demanding towing tasks.
