In the realm of agriculture, construction, and even military applications, pintle hitches have emerged as the trusted product for specialized towing. These hitches are renowned for their exceptional weight-bearing capacity and straightforward design. The fundamental pintle hitch consists of a hook and loop, where the hook is attached to the vehicle, and the loop is mounted on the trailer. Due to their simple construction, pintle hitches can boast a more substantial metal build and a more secure coupling.

One such offering is the adjustable pintle mount, designed to accommodate a bolt-on pintle hook or a combination ball and pintle.
