Video Transcript for Review of Weigh Safe 180 Hitch 3 inch Shank - WS34MR

Hello, neighbor! Steven here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at our Weigh Safe 180 hitch with a two ball ball mount for your three-inch hitches rated at 21,000 pounds capacity with nice polished chrome balls. Now, folks, this two-inch ball is rated at 8,000 pound capacity while the two and five 16th-inch ball is rated at 21,000 pounds capacity. The maximum tow weight for this whole unit is 2,200 pounds. Now, some quick dimensions on here, from the center of this pin hole to the center of the ball is right at eight and a half inches. And then back to the farther pin hole to the center of the ball, center to center, is nine and five-eighth inches.

Now, from the back of the shank to the center of this first hole, I got one and seven-eighth inches. And then from the back of the shank to the center of this hole, I got three inches exactly. Now, as I said before, this gives you a six-inch drop or a seven-inch rise depending on what orientation you have it in and where you have the ball at. These rise or drop increments are one-inch increments. Now, as you can see, you get two different size balls like I went over.

It's adjustable. It's super easy to adjust. The whole shank assembly is one piece of billet at 6061 T6 aluminum and the mounting platform here as well is that same aluminum. So super strong, super lightweight. (hitch knocking) The balls are hardened steel with a nice chrome plating over them.

So, everything here is corrosion resistant. It's not gonna rust on you anytime soon and it's all SAE J684 certified. (inhales) Now, I wanna show you how to use this real quick. You just simply take off the protective rubber dust cover here off of the dual locking pin. (cover knocking) And I wanna point out you just get this locking pin to slide the ball for down.

A hitch pin, you should probably already have one, but if you need one, especially a lockable one that is sold separately. You can get them here at etrailer.com as well. You unlock the pin, pull the dual pin out. (pin scraping and knocking) Now, that pin itself is aluminum housing, but all the lock and everything is hardened steel, that way no one can just cut through it or anything. So, as I said, you can slide it up or down as needed, rise or drop. You wanna swap the two-inch ball to the two and five-16th, simply slide it up off, (metal scraping) flip it 180 and right back in place. Now, your locks on the other side, (metal scraping) and you simply line the holes, lock it in place, (metal scraping) put your dust cover back on, and now you're good to go with your two and five-16th inch ball. Folks, this is a very simple but yet nice robust ball mount. This is again the Weigh Safe 180 hitch two-ball mount for the three-inch shanks, rated at 21,000-pound capacity. I'm Steven. Thanks so much for watchin'! As always, stay safe while you're towin'.
