Today we're going to take a quick look at the Bulldog collar lock coupler with low-profile latch, part number BD028499. Bulldog covers this coupler with a limited 5 year warranty that has a gross trailer weight capacity of 12,500 pounds. It's designed to work with standard 50 degree A frame trailers and it's a well done application so you'll just weld along the edges of the coupler to secure it to your trailer's frame. It has the cut out assembly for a jack where there's the main hole for the body of the jack and three bolt holes spaced apart according to industry standards for mounting the jack to the coupler. Now we're going to go over the coupler's mechanism. There's a collar that has to slide back and this hinged jaw will then be able to open up.
There's a pin in place that stops the collar from moving back accidently. So, we'll remove the pin and then we can operate the jack. We'll grab this lever and pull it, the collar slides back and the jaw pops open. Now, there's a shoulder here on our jaw that holds the collar back so it doesn't close while you're trying to hookup or unhook your trailer. To close the jaw, we can either just hit it closed or push it down while holding the latch and slowly let the collar over it.
We've got a 2-5/16 ball with us so we can show you how it works with an actual ball. The coupler is closed, so we'll grab our latch and open it up and the hinged jaw pops open, fit our ball into place and the coupler closes. Now our ball is secure, but it allows enough movement for it to track behind our tow vehicle. Now we'll just push our latch down and open our collar and the ball comes free. Again, we'll hold the collar back, push the jaw down and we can let the collar slide forward.
Lastly, we'll go over one measurement and that's the overall length of the coupler. It measures about 16-1/2 inches. That's it for a quick look at the Bulldog collar lock coupler with low-profile latch, part number BD028499. .
