You're lining up your equipment trailer again and the coupler won't engage the ball cleanly. This cast coupler uses an eZ-Latch that automatically engages when lowered onto a 2-5/16" ball. Includes mounting hardware.
When your trailer gets hooked and unhooked often, a fussy latch slows everything down. The eZ-Latch lets you lower this coupler over your 2-5/16" hitch ball without tugging the latch open first, then it locks automatically once lined up. Your hookup routine gets simpler, faster, and easier to repeat.
Disconnecting should not turn into a wrestling match after a haul. Lifting the handle releases the coupler socket from the ball, giving your trailer a straightforward uncoupling step when it is time to park, unload, or switch trailers.
For equipment, dump, utility, and work trailers, the connection needs to match the job. This cast steel ball coupler is SAE J684 certified and rated for 15,400 lbs GTWR, giving your trailer hardware a defined capacity for heavy towing setups where a loose or questionable coupler is not worth keeping in service.
Road debris and close contact around the tongue can be hard on exposed latch handles. The low-profile eZ-Latch handle is contoured so hazards can slide over the top, and its impact-resistant polymer-nylon-resin construction is corrosion-proof. Your coupler keeps the latch area easier to operate after normal exposure to the road and weather.
When your trailer sits between jobs or trips, the eZ-Latch design gives you a 5/16" diameter side hole on the coupler body for a coupler lock. Installing a 1/4" diameter lock (sold separately) through that hole keeps the latch from lifting, helping your trailer stay secured while parked and keeping disconnect control in your hands.
Finding the right bolts is a common delay when replacing a coupler during a trailer rebuild or repair. Included mounting hardware removes that extra step, so you can focus on fitting the coupler to your mounting setup and getting the trailer back into service.

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here from Etrailer, and today we are in Fort Worth, Texas at the National Association of Trailer Manufacturers Convention 2026, where we have quite a few of our vendors that we have at etrailer. And let's put a face to the name of those companies and also see what products they offer. I'm here with Easton from Demco. I'm a huge Demco fan. They have awesome products, American made, and the easy latch is one of my personal favorites for hooking up trailers. But you guys have a few new configurations.
Yes, sir. What do we have All right, first of all, this big one, this is our new gooseneck. So we have this available in round and the square tube that you're seeing right here. Like our other couplers name to fame, the easy latch lowers down and automatically latches. Composite handle with a lifetime warranty.
We also have a new 15.4 K adjustable mount coupler for the channels. And a new 18 K A-frame. Kind of a weird look, but pretty cool. So Easton looking at this coupler, it's kind of a unique design, but obviously you have a spot here, to put your jack. Yep.
Brad What's this gap here for Easton So we had to actually remove a lot of metal to shave the weight off, but this is also a weld point to get to that 18,000 pounds. But another cool thing about this, they can, if they don't want the jack, they can cut this off right here and remove that whole jack hole. Just this portion is needed to make that weld strong enough to make an 18,000 pound. Well that's really, I mean, just to be able to kind of get the welder on the top know that it's stacked up really good. Yeah, it's gonna be nice and solid.
So again, just, it's a coupler, but, and you go, what else can you do with it But innovation is still there and Demco is doing it. It's a unique look. It is, it is, it's very unique. I can't say I've seen a coupler that looks like this. Yeah, right. So the easy latch, I mean, obviously it makes it easy, but what are some of the, what are the benefits of it Why would someone wanna swap their coupler to something like easy latch Yeah, so couple things, American made. Like I said before, these composite handles have a lifetime warranty no questions asked. So if a customer breaks 'em, we replace it for free. And then like you just saw, it will automatically latch. You don't have to open this up or anything when you're lowering it onto the ball. So it automatically latches. No safety pin is required. We exceed all DOT and SAE requirements for safety a pin. So that's, it's a much safer, easier to use coupler. And honestly, the peace of mind too. So many times I've hooked up trailers, even personal life or at work, you go, oh, it's latched. Yeah. But not always. And you start moving and it shifts. The cool part about this is, you know, it latched. It gives you that nice audible click, but also it's really, touch points are great. Yep. Touch points are fantastic. It's super easy to use. I love the fact that, you know, it's down here. Once you pull it in, it's gonna pop that down, you know, it's latched. So a super great addition. Again, if you're hauling all the time and you just wanna make that coupling uncoupling a lot easier rather than a rusty, you know, handle to do that. Yep, you don't have to kick it or pinch your hand or anything. It's just, it's very simple, dummy proof. Yeah, no brainer. And this really nice, pretty lightweight too. Yep, so it shaved off a lot of the weight. We've had a 21 K for years and years and years. Finally lowered the weight to 15.4 K, so it's quite a bit lighter than that 21 K. Very cool. Well Easton, thank you so much for taking the time to give us a look at some of the easy latch from Demco products. Yeah, thank you.

If you've never used one before, you'll love the eZ-Latch system!

One year later and the coupler still works fantastic. Not a single issue and it quickly and securely connects the trailer to my car or ATV. The paint is holding up on it too, no rust. Excellent product, and Id 100 purchase it again.
