Use with actuators or standard couplers to create a foldaway tongue up to 48" long so that your trailer can be stored in even the smallest garage. Weld-on mounting creates a clean look, and the unique offset design guarantees superior performance.Good stout looking product wish the tolerance was a little tighter for the bolt and pin it has a small amount of end play. The trailer it is going on will typically be under 3000 lbs so shouldn’t have any issues. Thank you etrailer always great doing business with you folks.
Very easy to install, I bought my boat in 1990, I wish I had installed the unit 20 years ago. My 16 year old son installed it in about 30-45 minutes. Great product, I can now store my boat in our smaller size garage with room to spare, 5-*****
The hinge fit the 2x3 tubing perfectly. It is very substantial and more than adequate for my boat trailer. My trailer is too long to fit in my garage and this allows me to fold the tongue so it will fit. The unit arrived on time without damage.
Perfect fit. Easy installation. Very pl eased.
Instuctions shows to mount and weld it with the four small pinning lobes on the swing away tongue part rather then the aft trailer tongue. The safety sticker shows it's installed with the two large pinning lobes on the swing away arm. I installed mine to follow the safety sticker rather than the instructions. My hole towing load will be under 1000lbs so I wouldn't think it would matter either way due to the 4 ft swing away is rated 2600 lbs. I can't see any reason why it would change the towing load being mounted either way. Otherwise really happy with the pruduct.
Exactly what I ordered, good quality product, extremely quick delivery of products
The Fold-Away coupler Hinge worked great on my boat trailer. In a matter of minutes, it was welded on and now my trailer fits perfect in the garage. Ordering service was easy, fast and efficient, receiving my order within 3 business days of placing it.
I bought the 2x3 weld on tongue hinge for my boat trailer 2 weeks ago as my boat trailer was about 6 inches too long for my garage. I ordered on Wednesday by regular shipping and received it on Friday. The service was great and the price was the best I could find.
Worth the money! Heavy duty product!
Works well. Nice to be able to have the extra room around the boat when it’s stored for the winter.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanky ou!
I just had the hinge installed. From what I can tell it will allow me to use a smaller garage freeing up my other larger garage. To me it's all about quality and functionally. Both appear to come with this hinge.
The product is very useful now I can fold my trailer put in the garage

Review from a similar Fold-Away Hinge Kit in Folding Trailer Tongue
great add on feature to my utility trailer! by adding this fold away coupler to my existing 4X8 trailer tongue and a 40" additional tube, my trailer is more versatile for my uses, with the longer tongue it is easier to back up without Jackknifing, I can add canoe racks and carry 18' canoes nicely balanced over the axle and no worry of hitting the back of the vehicle. when trailer is not in use folding the tongue back out of the way is nice for garage storage or driveway space. my trailer is rated at 2200# capacity, and by the charts provided by Fulton, the tongue length I added matches the rating of the coupler. installation directions were good, hardware is good quality.
Review from a similar Fold-Away Hinge Kit in Folding Trailer Tongue
I purchased this Fulton Fold-Away Hinge Kit for a Folding Tongue to replace a rusted one on my 15 foot Mitz flats skiff. I would NOT use this item on any trailer carrying more than 1,000 lbs. there is no side to side play HOWEVER there is considerable up/down play no matter how tight you set the hinge bolt.

Installation was easy. I installed it in a Shorland'r trailer. It took me about 2 - 3 hours including clean-up. I am 100% satisfied! All the hardware, Torx drive, prick punch and safety stickers were included. Instructions were clear and easy to follow, but I was surprised it called for torque of 75Lbs. on each bolt. Tools used were a pencil, square, high tension hack saw (18TPI), file, prick punch (included), hammer, safety glasses, 18V portable drill w/ 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 & 1/2 bits, Torx socket (included), 3/4 box-end wrench, 12" adjustable wrench & torque wrench. I also added a sheath to the wiring to reduce any chaffing that may occur across the new hardware. You may want to consider additional safety chains depending on haw far back you reinstall them on the tongue. One other note: The 3x3 box tube tongue on my trailer was a bit small. The coupler easily slid over the 3x3 box tube. I had to draw up the bolts to ensure a tight fit. I used a large adjustable wrench on the Torx socket with a small length of pipe on the end of the wrench (for mechanical advantage purposes). It drew up and tightened just fine. Overall, it was an easy install. It did exactly what I bought it to do!
