Overview|Specifications|Applications|Finish Options|How to Measure|Order Checklist

This hitch ball is manufactured from a single piece of hot-forged steel, a process that creates a dense, uniform grain structure for superior strength and fatigue resistance compared to cast alternatives. The entire piece is coated with a durable chrome plating that protects against rust, road salt, and environmental wear, ensuring a long service life. It is designed to integrate with heavy-duty trailer couplers that require a 3-inch ball.

As a large-format hitch ball, its primary use is for gooseneck trailers, heavy equipment haulers, and large agricultural implements. The 3-inch diameter provides a substantial contact area necessary for safely managing the extreme tongue weights and towing forces associated with these demanding applications.
