You know that feeling when your flatbed trailer bounces and your truck feels every bit of it. That vertical shock hits hard. This air hitch bolts to a pintle plate and uses an air bag to absorb the impact and give you the smoother ride you want.
The core of this Shocker Hitch coupler is the air bag. It changes the way your trailer moves. It takes the edge off when you hit the throttle, stop suddenly, or run into rough patches in the road. Instead of that shock and bounce transferring straight to the truck, it gets absorbed right at the hitch. Your trailer stays steady, and your truck doesn't feel like it's getting beat up every time the road gets rough.
Unlike traditional gooseneck hitches, this coupler bolts directly to a pintle plate with keyhole mounts. It's made for flatbed, industrial, or semi-style trailers that don't use a bed-mounted gooseneck ball. Once it's bolted on, it stays locked and centered.
Every load's different. One day it's stack of treated lumber for a deck rebuild, the next it's a compact tractor with a brush cutter. That's why there's a valve built in for the air bag. Just add air for heavier hauls and let some out when the trailer's running light. It keeps the truck and trailer in sync so the ride stays smooth, no matter what you're hauling.
Towing capacity is limited by the lowest rated component in your setup.
Only works with low-profile 5th wheel plates like on a flatbed. Not for use with camper 5th wheel plate due to the height.
