Will it fit my existing adjustable channel bracket and pintle hook?

This lunette eye is a bolt-on design specifically made for use with compatible adjustable channel brackets, allowing height and alignment adjustments to create a level tow. The 3-inch internal diameter is matched to standard pintle hooks that accept lunette rings of that size.

• No-finish option for custom coatings or paint after installation
• Durable surface treatments help extend service life in outdoor and industrial settings
• Finish choice can affect rated capacities—confirm specifications for your configuration

How easy is installation and field maintenance?

Installation is straightforward: the lunette ring bolts into an adjustable channel bracket so you can mount, level, and secure it without welding. For maintenance, the bolt-on approach makes inspection, replacement, or repositioning fast and minimizes downtime.

• Bolt-on attachment reduces the need for welding or specialized tooling
• Accessible fasteners make inspections and replacements quicker
• Modular mounting simplifies height adjustments for multiple trailers or tow vehicles
