When a standard ball hitch fails, professionals turn to pintle hooks. Preferred in agriculture, construction, and military applications, pintle hitches provide the unmatched strength, durability, and articulation required to haul massive loads over unforgiving terrain.
Choose the Right Mount for Your Rig
1. Standard Pintle Hook
The rugged classic. These massive forged steel hooks offer extremely high load ratings. Available with spring-loaded or manual locking latches. Ideal for dedicated commercial trucks and heavy equipment haulers.
2. Combination Pintle & Ball
Maximum versatility for utility fleets. This design integrates a standard 2" or 2-5/16" hitch ball directly into the pintle hook, allowing you to tow standard trailers or lunette rings without swapping hardware.
3. Receiver-Mounted Hooks
Perfect for pickup trucks and medium-duty applications. These slide into a standard 2" or 2.5" receiver hitch, offering easy installation, removal, and adjustable height options when paired with a mounting channel.
4. Bolt-On Mounts & Lunette Rings
For permanent, maximum-strength installations. These mount directly to a reinforced vehicle frame or bumper plate. We also stock compatible 2.5" and 3" inner-diameter lunette rings for your trailers.
Why Professionals Demand Pintle Hitches
From dump trailers to military convoys, here is why a pintle hook is the only choice for severe-duty towing:
💪
Massive Towing Capacity
Designed for extreme payloads, standard pintle hitches are commonly rated from 20,000 lbs up to 60,000+ pounds, far exceeding the capabilities of standard ball mounts.
⛰️
Superior Articulation
The ring-and-hook design allows for significant vertical and horizontal movement. This reduces stress on both the truck and trailer when navigating uneven, off-road, or agricultural terrain.
🛡️
Shock & Vibration Resistance
Manufactured from forged or cast steel, pintle hitches are engineered to withstand the violent shock loads and constant vibration generated by heavy industrial and construction equipment.
🔒
Secure Locking Mechanism
The heavy-duty locking jaw completely encloses the lunette ring. This fail-safe connection minimizes the risk of accidental uncoupling, even in the harshest environments.
