About Receiver Hitch

New Receiver Hitch Articles from http://www.drophitch.com
about Receiver Hitch, and
Weight Distribution Hitch.
Many also come with hitches. Goosenecks make a
great hitch. They are a class 5 tow hitch that
mounts a ball in the bed of a pickup truck
(either 2-5/16 or 3 in diameter) to engage a
coupler on a trailer. Make sure you do not
confuse a gooseneck with a fifth wheel.

Perform a
safety inspection before each trip: make
sure that the pin securing the ball
mount to the receiver is intact, the
hitch coupler is secured, spring bar
hinges are tight with the safety clips
in place (load equalizer or weight
distributing hitches), safety chains are
properly attached and the electrical
plug is properly installed. Using the
jockey wheel, raise the height of the
trailer hitch until it is higher than
the towing ball. In some states,
trailers may be equipped with additional
wheels and axles to carry heavier loads.
S. Pintle hitches are commonly used on
military, construction, industrial and
agricultural equipment. Some of the
second cars are full trailers with
wheels on both ends, while others are
just regular semi-trailer cars hooked to
the standard coupling device on another
set of wheels in tow (sometimes referred
to as a dolly).
