Today were going to take a quick look at the Bulldog collar lock Coupler with high profile latch part number bd028386. Now Bulldog covers this coupler with a limited five year warranty. It has a gross trailer capacity of 7,000 pounds. Its designed to be used with two inch trailer balls and 50 degree A-frame trailers. It also has the standard configuration for mounting a jack and a large center hole for the body of the jack as well as three slotted holes for the hardware to secure it. Now this is a weld on coupler so youll just weld along the edges of the coupler to secure it to your trailers frame.
Now were going to over the latching mechanism and show you how it works. Theres a pin in the latch that keeps it from being opened unintentionally. Youll need to remove this pin in order to open the coupler. You can also replace the pin with a coupler lock that prevents the latch from opening again securing your trailer when traveling down the road but it also helps protect against theft when storing your trailer for the winter. So first well remove this pin so we can operate our coupler.
As we pull this latch open its going to pull back on our linkage sliding the collar back and then the hinge jaw on the coupler head will open up. The jaws spring loaded so its going to come open automatically and it provides a shoulder for the collar to rest against so that it wont close. To close it well hold the collar back, close the jaw and let the collar slide forward. Now weve got with us a two inch trailer ball so that we can show how it works with an actual ball. Again well pull the latch back and the jaw pops open.
We can then fit our ball into the socket. Well hold our collar back, close the hinge and let the collar slide forward onto the jaw. Now our ball is secure and completely captive but its got enough movement that the trailer will track smoothly behind the tow vehicle. Well pull our jaw open, our balls release and our trailers unhooked. Thats it for a quick look at the Bulldog collar lock Coupler with high profile latch part number bd028386..
