Description

Overview

Pintle hook with ball handles mixed trailer connections where one tow vehicle needs both ball and pintle capability. It carries a 3500kg ball rating and an 8000kg pintle rating, so it suits working setups where the trailer behind the vehicle may change through the day and the rear connection needs to stay versatile.

Because the ball and hook sit in one assembly, the towing point stays ready for different trailer styles without changing hardware between jobs. That keeps changeover time down, and it also gives fleets a cleaner way to cover more than one trailer connection style from the same vehicle.

Features

• Combination coupling for ball-coupled and pintle-style trailer setups.
• 3500kg ball rating for standard ball-coupled towing work.
• 8000kg pintle rating for heavier ring-coupled towing within the rated setup.
• ADR approved for Australian towing applications.

Specifications and Materials

This assembly combines a pintle hook and tow ball in one towing point, so the vehicle can move between different trailer connection styles with less setup change. Part number: TAPHWB.

Compatibility and Fitment

Match the trailer connection style before ordering, then confirm the mounting arrangement, the tow assembly rating and the rest of the towing hardware. The legal working limit always follows the lowest-rated part in the full setup, so check the vehicle, coupling, fasteners and trailer as one system.

Check latch movement, mounting face clearance and trailer drawbar clearance before final fitment. A pintle hook with ball suits mixed trailer fleets especially well because one vehicle can cover ball-coupled trailers and pintle-connected trailers without changing the rear coupling between jobs.

Compliance and Safety

Inspect the latch, retaining pieces and mounting hardware before each use, and replace worn or damaged parts straight away. After installation, recheck fastener tension, confirm the coupling closes fully and make sure the trailer connection sits properly engaged before towing. Do not load the assembly past either the ball rating or the pintle rating.

Trailer Applications

Workshops fit a pintle hook with ball on service vehicles, plant trailers, equipment trailers and other towing setups where coupling types vary from one trailer to the next. It also suits fleet work where the trailer on hand may use a ball coupling on one job and a pintle-style eye on the next.

This coupling style works best when the towing vehicle needs flexibility without carrying multiple rear coupling arrangements. That makes it a solid option for practical yard, site and transport work where trailer changeover happens often.
