Description

Overview

Bolt-on drawbar towing eye restores a rated shank-mounted towing point for heavy trailer and semi-trailer coupling setups. It suits straight tongue and hinged tongue trailer applications where a 3″ I.D. eye and 2″ threaded shank are required.

Features

• Forged, heat treated one-piece steel eye and shaft for heavy towing service.
• Induction hardened eye contact area helps resist wear against the pintle horn or coupler jaw.
• Includes washer, castle nut and cotter pin for the shank mounting assembly.
• Bolt-on drawbar towing eye format allows replacement without welding the towing eye to the trailer tongue.

Compliance and Safety

Inspect the eye contact area, shank, nut, washer and cotter pin during service. Replace the drawbar if wear, deformation, cracking or impact damage affects the towing eye profile. For off-road work, reduce the published capacities by 25% and confirm the coupling structure suits the application.

Trailer Applications

Workshops fit this part to trailers, semi-trailers, doubles and equipment that run heavy pintle or jaw-style tow coupling systems. It suits over-the-road towing within the rated capacities, while off-road use needs closer attention to load rating and coupling setup.
