TOWKING 8-Ton Pintle Hitch Receiver with Removable 2" Ball — 16,000 lb Capacity, Forged Steel

The TOWKING 8-ton pintle hitch receiver is a heavy-duty towing assembly that combines a pintle hook and removable 2" hitch ball to safely tow up to 16,000 lbs gross trailer weight.

This compact receiver and hitch combo is built for demanding trailers and work rigs that need a versatile, secure connection. Constructed from forged steel with a textured black powder coat, the TOWKING unit resists abrasion and corrosion while providing a high vertical and gross load rating. It ships with a spring-loaded locking arm, safety pin, a removable chrome-plated 2" ball, and a complete mounting kit so you can install it on compatible hitches quickly.

How strong is the TOWKING pintle hitch for heavy loads?

Rated to handle a gross trailer weight of 16,000 lbs (8 tons), the assembly is designed for heavy trailers, equipment movers, and commercial towing applications. The vertical load rating supports demanding tongue weights without compromising stability.

• Gross trailer weight: 16,000 lbs (8 tons)
• Maximum vertical (tongue) load: 3,000 lbs
• Forged-steel construction for high tensile strength

What materials and finishes protect the hitch from wear?

The hitch body is forged from durable steel and finished with a black powder coat that increases abrasion resistance and reduces the risk of surface rust. The included 2" ball is chrome-plated steel for corrosion protection and easy cleaning.

• Forged steel main body for superior durability
• High-abrasion black powder coat prevents chipping and rust
• Removable chrome-plated 2" ball resists corrosion

Can I rely on the connection to stay secure on rough roads?

Yes — a spring-loaded arm locks the pintle over the hitch ball and can be fastened with the supplied safety pin to prevent accidental release. This mechanical locking system is simple but robust, offering stable retention under vibration and dynamic loads.

• Spring-loaded locking arm for positive engagement
• Includes safety pin to secure the lock in place
• Compatible with standard receiver hitch rings and ball couplers

What is included and how easy is installation?

The TOWKING kit comes ready to mount with a full set of fasteners: four bolts, nuts, and washers. Installation requires common tools and a compatible receiver; the 2" hitch ball is removable if you prefer to use a ring-style lunette or different coupling.

• Complete mounting kit: 4 bolts, nuts, washers
• Removable 2" hitch ball for flexible coupling options
• Fits standard receiver hitch or ball couplers with basic tools

Who is this for: The TOWKING 8-ton pintle hitch receiver is aimed at contractors, farmers, fleet operators, and anyone who tows heavy equipment or trailers and needs a rugged, adaptable connection. Choose this assembly when you require a high-capacity hitch with corrosion-resistant finishes, a reliable locking mechanism, and the option to switch between pintle and ball-style couplings for different towing situations.
