CURT 48520 Black Steel Pintle Hitch Lunette Ring with Swivel Castle Nut, 2-1/2-Inch ID, 20,000 lbs

In the realm of agriculture, construction, and even military applications, pintle hitches have emerged as the trusted product for specialized towing. Renowned for their high weight capacity and simple design, these hitches are a staple in the industry. The basic pintle hitch is essentially a hook and loop, with the hook attached to the vehicle and the loop mounted on the trailer. This straightforward design allows for a thicker metal construction and more secure coupling, making pintle hitches a reliable choice.

CURT, a leading manufacturer, offers a wide range of pintle hitches and pintle-style products to cater to your heavy-duty towing needs. One of their offerings is the lunette eye, which utilizes a threaded shank and castle nut mounting system for easy installation on a trailer tongue. Crafted from forged steel alloy, this lunette eye boasts a remarkable gross trailer weight capacity of 20,000 lbs. It is important to note that one should never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component, including the vehicle, hitch, trailer, and so on.

Designed to fit a variety of CURT pintle hooks and ball and pintle combinations, this lunette ring features a 2-1/2" inside diameter. The heavy-duty towing associated with pintle hitches inevitably leads to wear and tear on the equipment. To address this, CURT has incorporated a quality finish on all its pintle mounts, lunette eyes, and combination pintle hitches. The lunette eye in question is coated with a durable black powder coat finish, providing the perfect balance of rust and scratch resistance to withstand the demands of heavy-duty towing.

This lunette ring is specifically engineered to provide a heavy-duty towing connection between your truck and trailer. It securely couples to a pintle hitch or clevis bar, making it a popular choice for construction, agriculture, and military applications. For maximum confidence on the job, this lunette ring is rated to tow a remarkable 20,000 lbs. gross trailer weight, limited only by the lowest-rated towing component.

Versatility is another key feature of this lunette ring hitch. With an inside diameter of 2-1/2 inches, it is designed to fit a wide variety of pintle hitch options, allowing it to be coupled to most pintle hooks and ball and pintle hitch combinations (sold separately). For a secure installation, the lunette ring comes with a threaded shank and a 39mm castle nut, enabling it to be bolted onto the trailer and allowing for swiveling to promote smooth towing.

Constructed from solid forged steel, this swivel lunette ring is built to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty towing. To further enhance its durability, it is coated with a durable black powder coat finish, providing long-lasting corrosion resistance to face the challenges of the job site, agricultural field, or military operations.
