Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material is this hitch eye made from?

This hitch eye is made from EN16T high tensile steel.

What is the breaking load capacity?

The breaking load is 35 tons.

Can this be bolted onto a trailer?

No, this hitch eye is designed specifically to be welded onto a trailer chassis.

What are the dimensions of the hitch eye?

The dimensions are: A = 400MM, B = 30.5MM, C = 92MM, D = 112.5MM, E = 51MM, F = 64MM.

Does it come with a tow ball or pin?

No, this product is the hitch eye itself. Towing eye bushes are available separately to allow for pin coupling.

What kind of finish does it have?

It has a shotblasted finish and is supplied in 'self colour', meaning the natural color of the steel.

Is this suitable for all trailer types?

It is suitable for trailers requiring a high-capacity welded towing eye, particularly in agricultural and industrial settings. Ensure the cranked design and dimensions are compatible with your specific trailer.

Troubleshooting

Weld failure

Ensure welding was performed by a qualified professional using correct preheating and welding techniques. Inspect for underlying material defects.

Corrosion on hitch eye

The "self-colour" finish requires additional protection. Clean the surface and apply a suitable metal primer and paint, especially if operating in coastal or highly corrosive environments.

Hitch eye does not fit attachment point

Verify the dimensions (A-F) against the intended mounting location. This product is designed for welding and requires specific clearance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional strength with a 35-ton breaking load.
  • Durable EN16T high tensile steel construction.
  • Designed for secure, permanent welding onto trailer chassis.
  • Versatile with optional bush compatibility for pin towing.

Cons

  • Requires professional welding for installation.
  • Not suitable for direct bolt-on applications.
  • Specific cranked design may not fit all trailer configurations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This trailer hitch eye is designed for professional welding.

  1. Ensure the trailer chassis area is clean and prepared for welding.
  2. Position the hitch eye accurately according to the trailer's design requirements.
  3. Welding should be performed by a qualified welder. Follow best practices:
  • Always preheat the material.
  • Avoid tack welding or short, thin runs for critical structural welds.
  • Ensure full penetration and a strong, continuous weld.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for trailers requiring a welded towing eye.
  • Check dimensions (A to F) against your trailer's mounting points and clearance requirements.
  • Can be used with compatible towing eye bushes for pin coupling.

Care:

  • The "self-colour" finish is the natural state of the steel after shotblasting. It offers basic protection but may require additional anti-corrosion treatment for prolonged exposure to harsh elements.
  • Regularly inspect the welded area for any signs of stress, cracking, or corrosion.
  • Clean the hitch eye with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
