Have one for gooseneck and bumper pull. Use them all the time! Work great. Still on first air bag on the bumper hitch after probably a good 3 yrs of hard use. Have spares just in case too
@@AmericanAFDumpsters yeah pretty sweet you can get replacement bags. Bought a few when they had good sale on St. Patrick’s Day ☘️ earlier this year. Everything else lasts a while.
Very cool hitch! Very tempted to go hook lift trailer before hook lift truck when the time comes! Only thing I’m worried about is the engine loudness on the trailer..feel like I might upset a few people at early and late picks/drops..
Too many failure points have been added by using this device. First off is the bolt head used to stop the anti-bounce feature air bag. That can snap off or shear the metal it goes through. Then theres the added leverage on the receiver hitch on your truck due to the extended length (like putting a pipe on a pipe wrench to give it more torque). Then there's the added stress points on all the plate holes where the pins pass through. All in all, you're relying on an unknown engineer somewhere who designed this device who may not realize the type terraine you operate on. I'd put that back in the box and get something else. I'd never trust that thing, just on the basic appearance of the design. Its an accident waiting to happen. Somebody is making money on it though, to be sure. You want to limit stress in this area, not increase it. Even flaws in metallurgy could become catestrophic. If towing one should stick with the tried and true. Reinventing the wheel is not necessarily good.
Yea I’m not sure about that. Lots of engineers much smarter than I am made this thing and they have a ton of great reviews. It’s nothing new and has been around for quite sometime. So far, it’s working great for me. Just hailed almost a 10k load and it did it without an issue!

Right on! Good to know!! Didn’t even know you could get a replacement bag!

It’s not an obnoxiously loud sound, and the cover really quiets it a good amount.
@@AmericanAFDumpsters thank you for this! Hard to tell how loud it is through the video. Appreciate ya!
I bet that gona be louder than your hooklift truck
🔥
🙏
That looks like a beefy hitch!
It really is, and heavy!!! As you could tell by my 👴 old man grunt when I picked it up 😂
