Hitch Coupling 50mm Ball & Pin 3.5T Tow Ball

A hitch coupling with 50mm ball and pin arrangement, used where vehicles need to tow different trailer types from the same mounting point. Commonly fitted to commercial vehicles, this 3.5T tow ball setup is suited to trailers with either a standard ball hitch or a towing eye arrangement.

Used for towing work where flexibility matters, it suits mixed trailer setups in agricultural use, site work, yard duties, fleet maintenance and general commercial towing. It can be fitted to vehicles that regularly switch between trailer types, helping reduce the need for separate towing fittings. For buyers running plant trailers, utility trailers or towing eye trailers, it gives a straightforward towing option for day-to-day vehicle use.

The coupling is rated for trailers up to 3.5 tonnes and uses 2 x M16 mounting bolt fixing holes with 90mm fixing centres. Supplied data also includes a D value of 17.2kN and an S value of 200kg, which are useful reference points when matching the coupling to the intended vehicle and trailer setup. The ball and pin format is widely used on commercial applications where practical compatibility is needed, and the mounting dimensions help buyers check fitment before ordering. For regular towing work, this type of coupling is useful when one vehicle needs to handle more than one trailer connection style.
