Adjustable Height Couplings
A towbar adjustable height coupling is a towing component that allows the height of the coupling point (typically a tow ball or pintle hook) to be adjusted vertically to match different trailer hitch heights.
This is especially useful when towing multiple trailers with varying drawbar heights or when switching between vehicles with different hitch elevations.
Slider-Style Adjustable Mount (Drop Hitch):
- Vertical channel with multiple mounting holes.
- Hitch ball or pintle mount can be bolted at different heights.
- Commonly seen on heavy-duty trucks and utility vehicles.
Options:
- Drop (for lowering the ball)
- Rise (for raising the ball)
Key Features to Consider:
- Load/Towing Capacity: Ensure it matches your towing needs.
- Adjustability Range: How much vertical range (drop/rise) it offers.
- Locking Mechanism: Pins vs bolts; make sure it's secure under load.
- Compatibility: With your tow vehicle's receiver (typically 2", 2.5", or 3").
