Introduction to Hitch Ball Selection

Whether you pull a sturdy work trailer or head out with a boat for some time off, the link between your truck and trailer stands as the key spot in your whole rig. Picking the right Hitch Ball goes beyond just ease; it serves as a basic need for safety that keeps your load steady during fast drives and rough ground.

Why Your Choice Matters for Safety and Performance

A wrong Hitch Ball might cause big problems, like trailer wobble or sudden unhooking. The correct kit has to match the exact weight of your load and the size of your trailer’s coupler. When you go with a top-notch, well-made part, you guard your vehicle, your goods, and all folks on the road.

Meet Go Trailer: Your Professional Manufacturing Partner

Go Trailer, located in Qingdao, China, works as a skilled maker with more than 15 years of experience in the trailer parts field. We run our own factory and count ourselves among the top trailer parts producers around. Our main work involves making and supplying many kinds of strong trailer parts built to hit global marks and go beyond what customers want.

Key Factors in Choosing the Right Hitch Ball

Figuring out the specs for towing gear can feel tough. To make it easier, folks who own trailers should look at three main points: how much it can handle, the ball’s size, and the shank’s size.

Understanding Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) and Capacity

The top spec to check is the weight limit. You need to pick a Hitch Ball rated for a Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) that tops the full weight of your loaded trailer. And Go Trailer gives a full lineup of limits to fit various jobs. For lighter towing, our 1-7/8″ and 2″ balls handle 2,000 lbs. When it comes to mid-level work, we have 2-5/16″ balls good for 6,000 lbs and 50mm balls that manage 3.5 tons. For tough heavy jobs, our Puck System Gooseneck Hitch Ball Kit brings a huge max load of 38,000 lbs.

Selecting the Correct Ball Diameter

The ball’s width has to fit your trailer’s coupler just right. One that’s too tiny won’t hold firm, and one too big won’t go in at all. Usual sizes from Go Trailer cover these:

• 1-7/8″: Often picked for small utility trailers.
• 2″: Common for lots of boat and animal trailers.
• 2-5/16″: Set aside for heavy towing and gooseneck setups.
• 50mm: Made for rules in Europe and Australia to work worldwide.

Measuring Shank Diameter and Length for a Secure Fit

The shank acts as the threaded rod that goes through the ball mount. Its width must line up with the hole in your hitch’s ball mount to stop shakes or breaks. Plus, the shank’s length needs to reach through the mount with enough threads left for a tight washer and nut. Go Trailer supplies different shank setups, like our 1-1/2″ and 2″ long ones, to fit various ball mount depths.

The Go Trailer Advantage: Premium Features and Durability

At Go Trailer, we do more than just the basics to offer items that hold up in rough weather and hard use. Our focus stays on building gear that lasts through daily wear from roads and loads.

High-Strength Materials and Anti-Corrosion Finishes

Towing parts face water, salt from roads, and dirt all the time. To fight this, Go Trailer’s Hitch Ball items come with good coatings. Most kits get chromed for a clean, pro look that also fights rust well. If you like a classic style, we have black forged hitches too. These coatings help your gear stay working and free of rust for many years.

Specialized Solutions: From Standard to Puck System Gooseneck Kits

We know trucks vary in their towing setups. Our Puck System Gooseneck Hitch Ball Kit shows our skill in design, made for big loads and easy fit with current truck beds. This kit gets built tough, so it deals with even a 38,000 lbs load in a steady and safe way. It fits right into systems where strength matters most, like in farming or building work.

A big plus with Go Trailer comes from our push to meet special needs in the market via our customized service group. We handle requests that go beyond standard items, drawing on years of know-how to deliver what fits best.
