60kN Truck Pintle Hook Combination

The Couplemate Mega Hook, or truck pintle hook combination, is a low-wear connection between a truck and trailer. Our patented 70mm combination allows users to tow trailers with 4.5t couplings without changing towing attachments.

Market prices may differ for hooks that look similar due to the level of engineering testing the hook has received.

This pintle hook has undergone rigorous testing to produce a reliable pintle hook combination for the truck and trailer industry.

Our pintle hooks undergo either dynamic cyclic testing or static testing, as specified in ADR62 – Mechanical Connections between Vehicles.

This pintle hook, also known as the “Mega Hook,” has been released by our R&D department after five years of development.

50mm Tow Ball vs 70mm Integral Ball

“When should I upgrade to a 70mm hook?” is a common question we receive.

Basically, a 70mm ball has a higher rating than a 50mm ball, which means you can carry more payload.

This Mega coupling allows stock vehicles to put a combination of ring couplings or 70mm ball couplings. The alternatives are ring couplings and 50mm ball couplings.

50mm Ball couplings pulled by a 5t truck and over are down rated by 20% for road use. The reduced rating on a 50mm ball is 2800kg. No down rating for trucks under 5t.

70mm Integral couplings, due to their lack of threads, are not down rated.

Note: 3.5t tow ball breakages can be caused by backing the tow vehicle’s tow bar into the coupling. This action causes hairline fractures over time, eventually leading to tow ball breakage. Tow balls tested to 8.5t without damage or deformation higher than 22mm comply with Australian Standards.

This heavy-duty, combination pintle hook prohibits damage to the tow ball when towing with a 75mm ring coupling.

Additionally, when disengaging the pintle hook, push the bar backwards and slide the locking clip into the locking hole located on the pintle’s body. This will enable the bar to remain open without assistance, allowing the operator to wind the jockey wheel up independently.

Pintle hitch ratings are based on trailer and truck weights. Use the drop-down menu to find the exact D-value for your rig combination.

Driving habits should also prevent the tow ball from hitting the coupling when reversing.

Testing

A 50mm tow ball undergoes a static load test of 85kN on the longitudinal axis and transverse axis.

The 70mm integral ball undergoes 2,000,000 cycles at full load.
