Video Transcript for Review of the Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler w/ High-Profile Latch

Today were going to take a quick look at the Bulldog Collar Lock Coupler with high profile latch part number bd028382. Now Bulldog covers this coupler with a limited five year warranty. It has a gross trailer weight capacity of 5,000 pounds. Its a weld on design so youll fit it over the tongue of your trailer and weld along the edges. Its designed to work with three inch wide trailer tongues. Well take a measurement of our inside width here and we get our three inches.

Overall the coupler has the length of about 16 and a quarter inches. Its designed to work with two inch hitch balls. Next were going to show you how the mechanism itself works. Theres a securing pin here that youll need to remove in order to open the latch. The holes line up here and when the pins inserted it prevents the latch from coming up.

You can also replace this pin with a coupler lock. The coupler uses a captive system where this jaw hinges around and fits around the ball. The collar slides back this jaw will open up freeing the ball. To do that well lift the latch and as we lift the latch itll pull the collar back and release the jaw. The jaw is spring loaded so itll come open on its own.

To close it hold the jaw down and close the latch. Now weve got a two inch trailer ball with us so we can show you how the whole system works with the ball. Well pull the latch open. The jaw opens. Well fit the coupler over our ball and then we can close the jaw and the collar over it.

Thats it for a quick look at the Bulldog Collar Lock Coupler with high profile latch part number bd028382.

Produced is depicted having a lunch pin to secure item in the locked position. It arrived with only a cotter pin which I will not use out of safety concerns.



by:

My opinion a Bull Dog hitch is the only good trailer hitch on the market

I love the bulldog collar coupler, so easy to use. No pinching of fingers sliding like on old latch.

This is how I received my merchandise I was lucky the part was still
In side the box

Collar lock couplers are the way to go for hook up and trailer safety. Will get new collar lock welded on and send pics of my upgrade.

Super fast shipping.
Quality products
After
years of just using the trailer on the farm I wanted to make it road worthy.
The hitch (Bulldog) and wiring harness were the last two items I needed to get it rolling again.



by:

The best coupler we have used for our construction business. I have been using these for 14 years now without any problems. We replace them every 5 years at about 160,000 miles when we purchase new trailers. I currently need three now but they have been out of stock for several months. Still waiting for new stock to arrive so I can order. I feel safe with this type coupler and my employees also like the security it provides.



by:

LOVE this Bulldog hitch! I welded it to my new custom built motorcycle trailer and I will never go back to the other kind again. So much easier to get a positive connection. I also like the integrated lock hole in the latch. It's definitely worth the money.

  • Availability of Weld-On Coupler for Kayak Trailer with Lower Capacity
    We have more weld-on couplers than the # BD028382. For a more properly rated one for your setup the part # DL13800 would be a great option. It is for a 2 inch hitch ball and fits a 3 inch wide channel. It has a 3,500 lb capacity.

  • How Is Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler Installed On Trailer
    The Coupler you referenced, part # BD028382, is designed to be welded on the trailer tongue. It is meant to fit trailer tongues that measure 3 inches wide. I have attached a product review video for this coupler you can check out. We do not have a bolt-on coupler with the same hinged ball style socket, but we do offer 2 inch couplers that may work for you. I have attached a link to our product page that features the bolt-on couplers we offer. Most are designed to fit 3 inch tongues and...

  • Weld Reese 74950 Tow Champ to Trailer
    The Reese 74950 Tow Champ is not designed for the purpose of welding it to the front of a trailer to create a trailer tongue. If you are looking for parts to custom fabricate an item then I suppose you can start with something such as this, but that is not its intended purpose. We do carry the Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler, # CT-3002-Z and the Bulldog Collar-Lok style, # BD028382.

  • Mounting Tab Dimensions For Bulldog High-Profile Latch On Collar-Lok Coupler
    I have attached a photo of the Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler, part # BD028382 you can check out. The photo has the dimensions of the mounting tab that the # BD024200 latch repair kit is designed to work with. The mounting tab measures 2 inches wide and 2-3/8 inches tall. A 3/8 inch slot is cut in the material that is used for the pin clip that holds the latch assembly in position. The material is .240 inches thick and is welded to the top of the coupler tube.

  • How Does the Bulldog High-Profile Latch Repair Kit Attach to the Trailer Coupler
    It sounds like you are used to using a Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler, like part # BD028288, and that your new coupler is the Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler w/ Pin, # BD028244, which is designed to be used as you have indicated. You have to grasp the coupler and pull the collar back to release the jaw.

  • Replacing The Moveable Parts Of A Collar-Lok Coupler With High Profile Latch
    I'm not sure what part you are referring to as the movable half. If you are talking about the sleeve and spring loaded clamp that fit around the hitch ball, you will need to replace the coupler. For a 2 inch ball, you will need something like the Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler w/ High-Profile Latch - 2" Ball - 3" Channel Tongue - 5,000 lbs, # BD028382 or for the 2-5/16 inch hitch ball something like the Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler w/ High-Profile Latch - 2-5/16" Ball - 3" Tongue - 12,500 lbs,...
