3.5t Combination Pintle Hook – 6t Ring Coupling | D-Value 34.08kN

3.5t Combination Pintle Hook – Ring Coupling. ideal for towing with a 50mm ball coupling and occasionally with a Ring Coupling. Rated at 6t.

The Couplemate Combination Pintle Hook is the best-selling pintle hook on the Australian Market. Ideal, if you generally tow with a 50mm ball coupling and occasionally with a Ring Coupling.

Please note the NHVR states that 50mm tow balls must be de-rated for tow vehicles over 5t. Refer to Vehicle Standards guide VSG-16 for de-rating.

If the tow vehicle is 5 ton or larger and this decision affects you, email steve.wotherspoon@couplemate.com.au with the words “count me in” (in the subject line). If the demand is there, I will commission a 70mm Combination pintle hook.

The capacity of the ring coupling remains unchanged at 6t.

• 50mm Electric Coupling,

We do not recommend this pintle hook if you frequently tow a 75mm ring coupling. This high-frequency towing can damage the tow ball and we recommend the CM532 for higher-frequency ring coupling towing.
