Aluminum Drop Hitch with tongue weight scale | Weigh Safe

The Weigh Safe Drop Hitch is the one and only trailer hitch with a built-in scale that signals you to adjust your load before you hit the road, resulting in a much safer and enjoyable towing experience. Before this ball mount, gauging your trailer’s tongue weight was a hassle. You had to rely on inefficient bathroom scales, make a trip to the weigh station, or purchase a separate tongue weight scale. But with the Weigh Safe’s built-in scale, measuring your tongue weight is as easy as coupling your trailer to your ball mount. Simply hook-up your trailer to the Weigh Safe ball mount just as you would any other ball mount. The weight of your trailer will push down on the hitch ball, which in turn pushes down on an internal hydraulic piston that sits on a bed of oil. When the piston drops into the oil, the pressure reading is sent out to the scale. Tongue weight scale built into the ball mount platform helps you balance your trailer Promotes safe towing – lets you know if your load needs to be adjusted before you tow Simple operation – automatically provides a measurement every time you couple your trailer Efficient and hassle-free – eliminates the need for separate or commercial scales 6061 T6 billet aluminum shank and mounting platform provide superior strength and durability Solid block construction provides greater strength than hollow steel competitors while also maintaining a light weight Rustproof for a clean finish that stands the test of time FEATURES 4″ DROP HITCH 6″ DROP HITCH 8″ DROP HITCH 10″ DROP HITCH Built-in Scale ✓ Shaft 2″, 2.5″, or 3″ Ball 2″ & 2-5/16″ Stainless Steel Balls Included 1-7/8 add-on option” Max GTW 7500 lbs – 1-7/8” ball 8000 lbs – 2” ball 12,500 lbs – 2-5/16” ball (2” shaft) 18,500 lbs – 2-5/16” ball (2.5” shaft) 21,000 lbs – 2-5/16″ ball (3″ shaft) Max Tongue 1,500 lbs (2″ Shaft), 2,200 lbs (2.5″ & 3″ Shafts) V5 & J684 certified ✓ Drop Hitch Adjustment 1” increments Weight 16 lbs 18 lbs 19 lbs 20 lbs Ball material Stainless steel Pin Dual pin key lock assembly included Rise All hitches may be used in rise position *Gain 1 inch (e.g. 4” drops are 5” rises) Total Height Add 3 inches (*e.g. 4” drops measure 7″ from the top of the receiver to the hitch base) Hitch Pin Hole 5/8″ Diameter Compatible with Clam Shell ✓ Stowable ✓ ***Our Weigh Safe 3″ shank sizes are not stowable Saves Lives ✓ Saves Property ✓ Saves Time ✓ Simply put, too little tongue weight can cause trailer sway and too much tongue weight can cause the tow vehicle to perform poorly. You may have difficulty steering, gaining traction, or braking when driving a setup that has too much weight pushing down on the rear of the vehicle. Ultimately, towing with an improper tongue weight can cause you to lose control of your vehicle or cause your trailer to separate from the vehicle.
