New Lock-n-Roll Hitch

[JIMBO]

:sombrero: I don't doubt the quality of the Max-coupler, but I've had my Lock-&-Roll for over 3 years now and since my trailer is very light 900lbs, I've had no trouble, but

I always carry a Pintle/lunette spare with me !!

As with another person who posted above, I ordered the 6K LnR for a V-hitch. I spend about 45 minutes on the phone taking to them and the were aware of the reported failures and knew how they happened. This is why they redesigned the coupler.

They did not have the new designs in stock so they sent me the 12K lb. 50* v-hitch. As you can see it's a much stronger design then the pics posted above. The pivot bar is a solid piece of steel and the U shaped piece is wider and thicker then the lighter couplers. Yes it is heavier but I always believe in overbuilt if possible.

Looked at the coupler at SEMA. It is a copy of the original Treg Coupler made in Australia, CoupleMate have theirs made in Taiwan. It's a fair coupler with a few issues. Due to the closeness of the points of articulation and the length of the pin it binds badly. We also saw the polyurethane block in the Treg couplers we imported degrade due to UV exposure. It's nice to have another coupler available on the market, but in my opinion it's not the best out there.

Thanks for the input Martyn!

Any reason that the Couplemate/Treg design has to have the block oriented as shown? What if it were flipped over so that the pitch pivot trailed the yaw pivot instead how it is shown with the pitch pivot leading the yaw pivot?
