Turnover Ball 8in Drop Hitch w/ 2.5in Shank

The WEIGH SAFE Turnover Ball 8in Drop Hitch with 2.5in Shank is a premium ball mount designed for serious towing applications requiring both capacity and precision weight distribution. Built with an 8-inch drop design, this hitch accommodates trailers of varying heights while maintaining level pulling geometry, a critical factor for stability during highway towing and off-road recovery operations. The keyed-alike security system ensures consistent, reliable coupling without fumbling with separate keys across multiple hitches.

This hitch accepts both 2-inch and 2-5/16-inch ball diameters, offering flexibility for owners running multiple trailers or upgrading existing towing equipment. The dual capacity rating—8,000 pounds gross trailer weight for the 2-inch ball and 18,500 pounds for the 2-5/16-inch configuration—makes it suitable for light utility work through heavy commercial applications. The aluminum and steel construction resists corrosion while maintaining strength under load, with the chrome finish providing both durability and aesthetic appeal. At 22.15 pounds, the turnover design itself allows easy access to the shank for hitching operations, reducing repetitive strain on the operator.

Fleet operators, private contractors, and recreational towers benefit from the precision engineering WEIGH SAFE delivers. The 2.5-inch shank diameter provides robust mounting to receiver tubes across pickup trucks, SUVs, and commercial platforms. Users managing multi-trailer operations particularly value the keyed-alike feature for security and operational simplification. Whether deploying this hitch for equipment transport, boat launching, or emergency vehicle recovery, the 8-inch drop geometry reduces awkward angles and transmission binding that occurs with poorly matched hitch heights.
