ACTIVELINK SHANK 1-1/4in

The CURT ACTIVELINK Shank 1-1/4in receiver shank is a heavy-duty hitch component engineered for reliable payload attachment on towing and recovery applications. With a 3500 lb maximum gross weight capacity, this steel shank delivers the structural integrity required for secure coupling of trailers, recovery equipment, and vehicle-mounted systems. The black powder coat finish provides corrosion resistance in demanding field environments where moisture and salt exposure are constant threats.

The 1-1/4 inch tube diameter is engineered to interface with standard receiver hitches, ensuring compatibility across common vehicle platforms and towing setups. Steel construction with durable powder coat finish prevents oxidation and extends service life in repetitive use. Weighing 6.16 lbs, this shank distributes load forces efficiently while maintaining the rigidity required for controlled towing and equipment transport. The compact footprint (6.9 x 4.55 x 10.8 inches) allows installation in tight mounting spaces without excessive overhang.

Operators and fleet managers who require reliable towing infrastructure benefit from CURT's precision engineering and proven durability in field-tested applications. Recovery specialists, tactical transport crews, and civilian vehicle owners who conduct regular trailer hauling depend on shank components that maintain dimensional accuracy and strength under repeated stress cycles. CURT manufacturing's reputation for exacting tolerances makes this receiver shank a trusted choice for mission-critical payload security.

The ACTIVELINK system is designed to eliminate play and noise in hitch connections, providing a tighter coupling than traditional ball-and-socket designs. This shank component integrates with the ACTIVELINK receiver bracket system for a more rigid, vibration-free connection—critical when transporting sensitive equipment or when precise vehicle control is required during high-speed recovery operations or tactical transport scenarios.
