6.0t Combination Pintle Hook (33.6kN)

Combination Pintle Hook | 6.0t Ring & 3.5t Ball Couplings

The Couplemate™ CM500 Combination Pintle Hook is engineered to provide convenience and consistently safe towing. Forged from high-quality steel, this bolt-on Combination Pintle Hook is rated for towing up to 6000kg. The Genuine Couplemate™ product has a yellow horn, and is the preferred choice in the Australian agricultural, logistics and mining industries.

Combination Pintle Hooks eliminate the need to regularly switch your tow vehicle hitch. With one product, you can tow trailers with a 50mm ball coupling and a ring coupling.

For smoother towing with a ring coupling, Couplemate™ recommends investing in a Tow Ball Protector.

N.B. If you intend on mainly towing with ring couplings, Couplemate™ recommends the CM532 Premium Combination Pintle Hook.

Important Information

D-Values for Trailer & Truck Couplings

D-Values assign ratings to tow couplings. These values represent the maximum force that can be safely exerted on the component along a prescribed axis.

For example, 50mm ball couplings have a D-Value that is determined by:

• Maximum towing vehicle mass of 5000kg.
• Maximum trailer mass of 3500kg.

So, why are D-values important? When products are assigned a D-value, the developing engineers rigorously test the component to ensure its safety. You can use the configurator below to check that the Premium Combination Pintle Hook is suitable for your application.

You will note that some resellers advise products are ADR compliant. To be ADR compliant and tested, the components requires a D-Value after testing and the results submitted to Department of Transport, Canberra. A CRN is then issued, and this certification proves compliance.
