Couplemate offers a range of pintle hooks for various towing applications, with a focus on durability and compliance with Australian regulations (ADR62/02).
They primarily offer combination hooks for versatility and heavy-duty truck hooks for industrial use.
Combination Pintle Hooks (Ball & Ring Coupling)
These products offer the flexibility to tow trailers with either a 50mm ball coupling or a pintle ring coupling.
