Today we are reviewing part number 40330 from Draw Tite. This is a forged one piece ball mount with a one inch rise or a two inch drop. The towing capacity is 16,000 pounds and the towing rate capacity is up to 2,400 pounds. As you can see it has a drop of two inches from the top of the shank to the ball mount platform and it has a rise of one inch from the top of the shank to the ball mount platform. It measures from the center of the hitch pin-hole which is here to the center of the ball hole-which is here and that is eight and one half inches. The ball mount platform itself is one inch tall.
It has a double powder coat finish so it should resist corosion and rust very nicely. That's it for part number 40330 from Draw Tite-the forged ball mount with a one inch rise or a two inch drop rated at 16,000 pounds.

I was at a farm meeting and university rep. was pointing out the dangers in hauling trailers without proper hitch assemblies.The local hardware chains do not have products made for heavy farm trailers.You guys do have all the equipment anyone needs for this type of hauling.Was happy to correct my light setup before something bad happened.Ignorance is not bliss.63696

Just received your Forged Ball Mount " rise, 16000 lb for pulling my Case 580-E backhoe. It is exactly what I was looking for and is a quality mount that will give me peace of mind when pulling any load. Your service was excellent and shipping was a day early. I shopped the web to see if I could get a better price, but you beat them all, plus you knew your product. Thanks John F. 55122

I had a great experience ordering from you. Your organization kept me completely up to date with the order & shipping process and delivered the exact products I ordered. Attached is a photo of the 16,000 lbs capacity hitch and 30,000 lbs 2 5/16 ball you sold me in use. The boat and trailer total about 12,000 pounds. Thanks again.39173

Hitch looks good. One issue that I think may be something to think about. The hitch that I ordered is rated @ 16,000. There is no where on the hitch that the weight is stamped. This could be problematic when I get inspected by the DOT and have to try and convenience them that the hitch is rated for the 14,000 # trailer that it is connected to.10329
