CURT 48326 Pintle Mount for 2-Inch Hitch Receiver, 20,000 lbs Capacity, 6-Inch Length

In the realm of agriculture, construction, and even military applications, pintle hitches have emerged as the trusted product of specialized towing. Renowned for their high weight capacity and simple design, these hitches have become an indispensable tool for heavy-duty towing tasks.

The basic pintle hitch is essentially a hook-and-loop system, where the hook is attached to the vehicle, and the loop is mounted on the trailer. This straightforward design allows for a thicker metal construction and a more secure coupling, ensuring the safety and reliability of the towing process.

CURT, a leading provider of towing solutions, offers a wide variety of pintle hitches and pintle-style products to cater to the diverse needs of its customers. The adjustable pintle mount, one of their versatile offerings, is designed to accommodate a bolt-on pintle hook or a combination ball and pintle. With a gross trailer weight capacity of up to 20,000 lbs. and a total plate height of 3-1/2", this mount can be installed in any 2" x 2" receiver tube opening, providing a complete solution for heavy-duty towing requirements. It is important to note that the lowest weight capacity of any towing component, including the vehicle, hitch, and trailer, should not be exceeded.

The demanding nature of heavy-duty towing implies a certain amount of wear and tear on the towing equipment. To address this, CURT employs a quality finish on all its pintle mounts, lunette eyes, and combination pintle hitches. The pintle mount featured in this article is coated in a tough black carbide powder coat finish, which provides exceptional rust and scratch resistance to withstand the rigors of daily heavy-duty towing operations.

The secure mount design of this pintle hitch mount ensures a solid mounting point for towing with a pintle hitch. It features four bolt holes, allowing for a secure attachment of a pintle accessory (bolts sold separately).

Versatility is a key aspect of this adjustable pintle mount, as it is compatible with multiple accessories to accommodate different types of towing. The face plate holes are spaced 1-3/4 inches high by 3-5/16 inches wide, providing flexibility in the selection and positioning of the appropriate towing components.

For maximum convenience and easy installation, this pintle hitch mounting plate features a 2-inch x 2-inch shank that fits virtually any industry-standard 2-inch hitch receiver. This standard fit ensures that the mount can be quickly and effortlessly installed whenever needed.

Dependability and strength are paramount in the world of heavy-duty towing, and this pintle mount delivers on both fronts. Rated for a 20,000 lbs. gross trailer weight, the shank and mounting plate are constructed from solid steel with a high-strength design, ensuring reliable and secure towing on the job.

To protect the steel components from the elements, this pintle hitch mounting plate is finished with a durable carbide black powder coat. This weather-resistant finish safeguards the mount against the damaging effects of rain, snow, mud, road salt, and other corrosive threats, extending its lifespan and maintaining its performance over time.
