Nilight Pintle Hitch for 2-Inch Receiver — 10-Ton (20,000 lb), Forged Steel, Tethered Pin

Nilight’s 10-ton pintle hitch converts a 2-inch receiver into a 20,000 lb-rated heavy-duty towing hook for secure lunette-ring towing.

Built from forged steel and finished for rugged use, this pintle hook attaches to a standard 2-inch receiver and mates with lunette rings to handle large trailers, equipment and worksite loads. Its spring-loaded arm and tethered pin keep the connection secure and the hardware on-hand, while compact overall dimensions make it straightforward to mount and store when not in use.

How does the Nilight pintle hitch deliver reliable towing strength?

The hitch body is made from solid forged steel designed to resist bending and fatigue under heavy loads. A rated capacity of 10 tons (20,000 lbs) reflects the component strength and how it pairs with compatible lunette rings and receivers.

• Forged-steel construction for high tensile strength
• 10-ton (20,000 lb) nominal towing rating when paired with proper hardware
• Works with lunette rings that have a 2-1/2" inner diameter
• Compact 14.5" overall length for easier mounting and clearance

Will it fit my truck’s 2-inch receiver and my trailer’s lunette ring?

This pintle hook is engineered to slide into a standard 2-inch receiver and uses a hitch pin hole spaced 10" from the center of the pintle face—verify receiver and ring dimensions before purchase. It’s intended for lunette rings with an inner diameter of roughly 2-1/2".

• Receiver insertion compatible with 2-inch receiver tubes
• 10" center-to-center measurement from pin hole to pintle for fit planning
• Designed to mate with lunette rings ≈2-1/2" ID
• Includes tethered pin and clip so attachment hardware stays with the hitch

How does the safety mechanism work during towing?

A spring-loaded locking arm keeps the lunette ring captured on the hook and resists accidental opening. The included safety pin secures the arm in the closed position; the pin is tethered to the hitch so it won’t be misplaced during use.

• Spring-loaded arm locks down over the lunette ring
• Safety pin secures the arm and prevents unintentional detachment
• Tethered pin design reduces risk of lost hardware on the road or jobsite
• Smooth surfaces and robust hardware reduce wear at the connection point

What should I check before using this pintle hook?

Confirm that your receiver, towing vehicle, and trailer components meet the hitch’s rated capacity and that lunette ring dimensions match the hitch. Regularly inspect the hook, pin, and locking arm for wear, corrosion or deformation before each towing task.

• Match hitch rating with vehicle and trailer tow capacities
• Verify receiver size, pin position, and lunette ring ID before installation
• Inspect locking arm, pin tether, and forged body for damage or wear
• Grease contact areas sparingly to prevent corrosion and maintain movement

This Nilight 10-ton pintle hitch is ideal for farmers, contractors, fleet managers, and off-road operators who need a robust, low-maintenance connection for heavy trailers and equipment. If you require a straightforward, high-capacity hitch that fits a 2-inch receiver and works with standard lunette rings, this unit provides the strength and safety features professionals depend on.
