Round Tube Slider
Designed for short-bed trucks to provide turning clearance and prevent damage to truck and trailer in tight places at low speeds. Without a slider, a 45 degree turn may cause damage. However, with a slider and a minimum 13" pin box extension, the extra clearance eliminates interference on turns up to 80 degrees.
- 12" Travel - front to back
- Round tube design allows for smoother operation
- Angled steel rollers reduce binding
- Lock pin for additional security ensures slider unit will not release
- Rubber grip handle for comfortable operation
Note: 13" Minimum extended pin box on trailer is recommended.

Easy to install with the supplied hardware and instructions. Any do-it-yourselfer should have no problem. Why pay some shop $800 to install.
