This will protect your 5th wheel hitch in your 5th wheel trailer when you use this Curt Lube Plate.

Good solid plate



by:

Since I have a TurningPoint hitch I use a Wedge behind my Kingpin. So it required marking the outline of the wedge and trimming the Lube Plate on my bandsaw to fit precisely on the wedge. So far it seems to work fine. So much nicer than all the grease.



by:

5th wheel hitch and hardware went on truck just as described. Everyone at ETrailer is very courteous, helpful and knowledgable. If you have any questions or issues, they are there to help you. Have dealt with them before and will deal with them in the future as needed. Thanks !!!!



by:

Love the service provided great friendly folks to work with. Very quick response time and
parts delivered quickly. Thank you all and look forward to future orders with you all..



by:

Does what it’s supposed to do. Nice not having grease on the plate.



by:

e-Trailer ships quickly and carries good products. Helpful tech support when needed. I get all my trailer and towing gear here.



by:

Very easy to use, and don't have to deal with grease on the surface of the hitch

The Curt lube plate has held up nicely for more than a year. Weve taken the trailer on 8-10 trips during that time frame.

Perfect fit on my 2019 Solitude kingpin.

Works great. Saves on having to lube and have grease on everything.

Still working great



by:

Perfect! Arrived ahead of schedule in perfect condition. Great service from E-Trailer!



by:

Very knowledgeable and helpful fast delivery will buy from again



by:

I made this purchase so that I did not have to keep removing my 5th wheel hitch to use my gooseneck ball attachment. This item worked out well and made it much easier to hockup my dump trailer.



by:

Great product!



by:

Works great. Much easier than lubing the hitch constantly.



by:

Works great! I use a similar product on my tractor trailers and I like these just the same. They are reasonably priced, easy to install and last forever! It’s still very important to grease the jaws and king pin but they really preserve the plate and hitch.



by:

Anna was very helpful and the package was delivered next day. That is what I call excellent service!!!! Thank you!!



by:

Works great. Cheap and easy.



by:

Great item. Thanks



by:

I have had one of these on all of my 5th wheels. They are the way to go.



by:

We love them! Keeps things cleaner! Easy to use!



by:

Clean use and still provides great lube action for the fifth wheel



by:

Great product, heavy duty, good heavy welds. Sharp edges, had to grind, but worth it. A lot cheaper in cost than other ones, always happy was price and products from etrailer. Super fast shipping.

  • How To Choose the Correct Lube Plate
    Generally speaking, the lube plate will need to cover the skid plate on the 5th wheel hitch. There are some pin boxes out there that will recommend a specific lube plate but most of the times this classification will be from the 5th wheel hitch manufacturer. The two most common sizes for a lube plate in regards to diameter are, 10" and 12". However, most of the time the 5th wheel hitch manufacturer will call for a certain thickness so you will need to check this as well in your owner's...

  • B&W Companion Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500
    For your 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 the B and W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3700 is the best option you have for the factory rail kit. The Companion hitches are among the nicest hitches around and are considered by most as the best fifth wheel hitch. This would be a great solution. This also will easily work with a Lippert Trailair pin box. For a B&W Companion hitch I recommend using a 10 inch diameter lube plate. We have the Reese Lube Plate, # RP83002, which is my top choice, and the...

  • B&W Companion Latch Handle Stuck and Wont Unlatch
    I am a big advocate of preventative maintenance, a little bit of maintenance can save a lot of time and frustration down the road. So I recommend lubricating the hitch well and making sure that you are in line with the trailer on level ground so unhooking is a little easier. The B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3400 has 4 main points that need to be lubricated. The polyurethane bushings (that the head sits on) need a thin layer of white lithium...

  • Does The Demco Recon 5TH Wheel Hitch Need Lube or a Teflon Plate?
    I recommend using a Lube Plate # 16721 over covering the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550043 in Grease # L74FR. The lube plate is much cleaner and you will not have to constantly clean off the dirt and apply new grease over time.

  • Is it Possible to Adjust Jaws on Curt Q16 5th Wheel Hitch
    I spoke with my contact at Curt about your Curt Q16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, part # C16120, and he said a little play is to be expected in order for the pin to rotate freely. So the jaws should not fit too tightly around the king pin. The jaws are operated by springs. The first time you used your 5th wheel hitch the springs may have been a little stiff. By the second time you used the 5th wheel you likely loosened up the springs and the jaws, resulting in the play you noticed. Also if...

    Congrats on the new truck! To add a 5th wheel hitch to your long bed 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500, I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch item # BWRVK3710 for a 20,000 lbs capacity or item # BWRVK3715 for a 25,000 lbs capacity. These 5th wheel hitches will mount directly to the puck system for easy installation and removal. I really like B&W's hitches because of the reliability and the Companion's 1" thick dual jaws will give you a 360-degree jaw to kingpin contact. This system...

  • Does The Curt PowerRide 30K Require A Lube Plate?
    We do carry the Curt PowerRide 30K hitch for your 2024 GMC 3500 with the factory prep. The hitch you are looking for is the # C36WR. The 30K gross towing weight and 7,500 pin weight rating make this one of the strongest hitches on the market today. You can use a lube plate like the # 16721 with this hitch, but it is not required. The built in lube plates are made to wear down and will need to be replaced over time. There are "ridges" on the built in lube plates. Once the ridges are no...

The Companion Slider has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will give you 12" of travel for making tight turns and backing.

This system minimizes the chucking, jarring and noise that can occur when towing a fifth wheel trailer. This not only provides a more...

  • Is There A Specific Way To Install A Lube Plate With The Curt CrossWing 5th Wheel Hitch
    Curt typically provides the lube plate # 16721 you're referring to with all of their 5th wheel hitches. It will slip up onto the king pin of your pin box and it doesn't matter which side is facing up or down. This lube plate will help prevent scratches from the pin box on the head on your Curt CrossWing # C32DR.

  • Lube Plate Recommended for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch
    For their Companion series of 5th wheel hitches, B&W recommends using a 10 inch lube plate. I'd recommend the # 16721 from Curt. The lube plate would protect the skid on your hitch from getting scratched up, and would eliminate the need to use grease on the skid plate so you won't have a huge mess with grease everywhere.

  • Lube Plate Compatibility With Demco 21K Autoslide 5TH Wheel Hitch and Lippert Rhino Box Adapter
    Demco recommends using a 3/16" or thinner Lube Plate # 16721 with their Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550035. With the addition of the Demco Autoslide Locking Plate for Lippert Rhino Pin Boxes # DM76FR you have I recommend using a dry lube on the mating surfaces to reduce wear. A good silicone dry lube like the Spray # RM-747 will not attract and hold dirt like grease.

    It looks like you are already on the right track. A 10" lube plate like the Curt # 16721 would work great with your Pullrite 5th wheel hitch. According to the folks at Pullrite you can also use their dry lubricant graphite spray, but a lube plate will basically do the same thing with no greasy mess.

  • Curt A16 5th Wheel Hitch Coupling Issue Troubleshooting
    It sounds to me like the Curt A16 hitch # C16120 may need to be lubricated. You might also have a spring or some other internal component that is about to fail. Lubricate before each individual use and every 1,000 miles thereafter. Black graphite grease is recommended for the jaw, pins and the lower bearing assembly jaw. High-pressure wheel bearing grease is preferred for the skid plate. NOTE: In severe cold temperatures a lighter grease, such as white lithium, may be substituted for the...

  • Best Lube Plate for Demco Hijacker Autoslide Hitch
    The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550034 can only use a lube plate that is a maximum of 3/16 inches thick so you can use the # RP83004 that is 12 inches diameter and 1/8 inch thick or the Curt 10 Inch # 16721 that is 3/16 inch thick. I recommend using the Reese # RP83004 as it is wider for more pin box contact and yet thinner to allow the capture plates to more easily engage. Standard pin boxes measure between 12 and 14 inches wide. The lube plate will...
