Product Information
Full details
This SecureFix Direct 2" tow ball hitch pin is designed for ATV and quad bike owners needing to tow trailers or equipment. Its key benefit is providing a secure and rust-resistant connection for loads up to 350KG. A minor caveat is its specific compatibility with 2" receivers and a 16mm thread size. The pin features durable zinc plating for corrosion resistance, a 50.7mm ball diameter for standard hitch compatibility, and a 44.5mm shank length.

What size hitch does this pin fit?
This pin is designed for standard 2-inch tow ball hitches.
What are the key dimensions of the pin?
The key dimensions are a 16mm thread, a 44.5mm shank length, and a 50.7mm ball diameter.
Is a lock included with the tow ball pin?
No, a lock or clip is not included. You will need to provide your own suitable locking mechanism to secure the pin.
How do I maintain the zinc plating?
Wipe the pin clean with a damp cloth after use and avoid abrasive cleaners. The zinc plating offers inherent corrosion resistance.
Can this pin be used on a standard car or truck?
This pin is specifically designed for ATVs and quad bikes with 2-inch hitch receivers. It may not be compatible or suitable for standard car or truck hitches.
Troubleshooting
Pin is difficult to insert
Ensure the hitch receiver and tow ball are properly aligned. Check for any debris obstructing the holes and clean if necessary. Verify you are using the correct pin for your hitch size.
Rust or corrosion developing
Clean the affected area with a soft cloth. While the zinc plating offers protection, extreme conditions can accelerate wear. Consider applying a light coat of automotive lubricant to the exposed metal if minor surface rust appears.
Towing capacity exceeded
Do not exceed the maximum 350KG towing capacity. Overloading can lead to component failure and unsafe towing conditions. Re-evaluate your load or consider a higher-capacity towing solution.
