CURT 48505 SecureLatch Pintle Hook, 30,000 Lbs, Mount Required, BATTLESHIP GREY FINISH

This SecureLatch pintle hook offers an automatic trailer coupling experience thanks to its unique auto-locking mechanism. Simply back up to the trailer tongue, and the integrated striker plate will help stop and center the lunette ring. Upon dropping the ring onto the hook, the SecureLatch mechanism will automatically engage the primary lock. All you need to do then is insert the secondary safety pin, and you're ready to tow.

Notably, this pintle hook design features a cupped structure that holds the lunette eyelet more tightly, effectively deterring chucking noises. Rated for a 30,000-pound gross trailer weight, the hook is constructed from austempered cast iron, providing superior strength and wear resistance. It is compatible with 2-1/2-inch or 3-inch lunette rings.

It is important to note that the installation of this pintle hook requires a SecureLatch slotted pintle mount, which is sold separately.

The auto-locking feature of this SecureLatch pintle hook is a standout characteristic. By simply backing up and striking the back plate, the lunette ring can be dropped onto the hook, and the primary latch will automatically engage. The user then only needs to insert the secondary safety pin to complete the coupling process.

In addition to the auto-locking capability, this pintle hook hitch is designed to be quieter and smoother in operation compared to other pintle hooks. Its unique cupped design holds the ring tighter in the fore and aft directions, effectively reducing play and chucking noise.

The superior strength of the SecureLatch pintle hitch hook is attributed to its construction from cast iron that has been austempered. This manufacturing process results in increased strength and wear resistance, allowing the hook to be rated for a 30,000-pound gross trailer weight and a 6,000-pound vertical load.

To ensure corrosion resistance, the pintle hook features a dark grey teridium powder coat finish.

Lastly, this pintle hook is designed to be a standard fit, compatible with any lunette ring having a 2-1/2-inch or 3-inch inside diameter. It is intended to be mounted onto a SecureLatch slotted pintle mount, which is sold separately.

In summary, the SecureLatch pintle hook offers an exceptional automatic trailer coupling experience, with its auto-locking mechanism, reduced chucking noise, superior strength, and durable finish, making it a reliable and convenient choice for towing applications.
