Product Description
The Demco 16698-81 is a black weld-on EZ Latch A-frame trailer coupler for a 2-inch hitch ball, rated for 10,000 lbs gross vehicle weight. It is designed to be welded to the front of an A-frame (V-shaped) trailer tongue, and the EZ Latch locks automatically when the coupler is dropped over the ball. It is a good choice when building a new trailer or replacing a worn A-frame coupler.
Welding should be done by a qualified welder. Make sure the hitch ball and tow vehicle hitch are rated for the trailer's weight; the setup is only as strong as its lowest-rated component.
Compatibility
- 2-inch hitch balls
- A-frame trailer tongues (weld-on)
A-frame angles and tongue sizes vary. Compare your existing coupler to the product photo, or contact us with your trailer details before ordering.
