8 Ton Pintle Tow Hook Receiver Arm Hitch Towing Car Truck Heavy Duty Ball Combo

A pintle hook and a tow ball do different jobs, and swapping between them usually means swapping the whole drawbar. This drop-forged combo carries both on one body, so a plant trailer on a lunette eye and a box trailer on a coupling can share the same 50 mm receiver.

Three different numbers on one casting

Load figures on this listing need reading carefully, because the title and the body use different units. The title calls it an 8 Ton pintle hook. The supplier's own specification gives the hook a rating of 16000 lb. Gross Towing Weight, the ball a rating of 6000 lb Gross Towing Weight, and a vertical load capacity of 3000 lb. Those are the figures exactly as supplied, unconverted. The unit behind Ton is never spelled out, so do not read it as a metric tonne — work to the pound figures if there is any doubt at all.

Drop-forged, not fabricated

The body is drop forged as a rigid pintle hook and ball combination, which means the shape is pressed from hot steel in a die rather than cut and welded up from plate. Grain follows the form instead of stopping at a weld line, and that is part of why forged hardware is common on plant and agricultural trailers that spend their lives on corrugations. The hook accepts drawbar eyes from 2" to 3" inside diameter with a cross section of 1" to 1-9/16", and the ball runs a large 1 1/4 shank.

What it bolts to

The supplier lists fitment as cars with 50mm receivers, and describes the intended use as construction, military, agricultural, rough terrain and off-road towing. That is a receiver-size statement, not a vehicle list: measure the receiver before ordering, and confirm the receiver, drawbar, coupling and vehicle are each rated for the load being towed. The weakest item in that chain sets the limit, not the hook. Compliance with towing rules and any engineering approval remains the owner's responsibility.

What's in the box

• 1 X Heavy Duty Pintle Hook

Check these before towing

• Three separate ratings apply — hook, ball and vertical load. The lowest one relevant to your setup governs.
• The title quotes 8 Ton while the specification quotes 16000 lb. Gross Towing Weight. Work to the more conservative reading until the supplier confirms the unit.
• Confirm the vehicle's own rated towing capacity and tow ball download. This hardware does not raise either of them.
• Torque the mounting hardware to the receiver manufacturer's figures, and re-check it after the first trip.
• Inspect the hook, ball and eye for cracks, wear and elongation before every tow.

Suits plant trailers, machinery floats and general farm work where a lunette eye and a coupling both turn up in the same week.
