Video Transcript for An In-Depth Look at the Bulldog Collar-Lok Coupler w/ High-Profile Latch

Hello neighbors, Steven here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at this Bulldog Collar-Lok coupler with a high profile latch design and it's made for a two inch ball. As you can see, this is for a round trailer tongue and it is a well-known application. Now folks, this is gonna be perfect for those heavy duty couplers such as the utility trailer, livestock trailer, cargo and construction trailers. The nice cargo lock design here is gonna offer automatic, continuously tight fitting for absolute security. So you can see it's spring loaded here on this guy right here where that gap is.

This collar goes over there. So if I pull this pin and I open the latch here, I get it all the way open, it automatically spring loads open. You can see that spring in there and the collar here is actually holding that open. So again, nice high profile handle latch there. The steel tubing is super strong and durable.

As you can see, it's been painted a gray color. You can paint it whatever you want, obviously. And a few things I like is the visual indicators that it's either open or when it's closed, the visual indicator that it's closed. The collar will cover this, locking it, and then you also have the pin inside with the handle down. So it's a very, very nice design as far as number one, durability.

And number two, just knowing that it's actually closed. So I'm gonna grab a ball here that says a demo. So again, a 52 inch ball, and I'm gonna have to invert this so I can show you here. But as I could say, get the spring in there so the ball goes in. If you get the latch pulled back, you close that and then the collar will slide over again, closing that.

And as you can see, the ball's not going nowhere, so it's nice, tight closed again. It's closed here. You can put the pin back in here and you can be rest assured that the ball's not coming out. No one can accidentally open it. All that stuff. Taking it off, pull the pin back. Now this is probably gonna drop 'cause it spring loaded. There we go. And again, it opened by itself after, well, I pulled this, but it stayed open by itself and that spring latch popped it out so that it's ready to go for the next time that you re-hook onto a ball. I'm gonna put that ball away. So again folks, that's been our look at this Bulldog coupler lock. Some measurements I wanna mention now before I close, the whole thing overall is about 10 3/4 inches long. Again, if it's a two inch ball size, it's rated at 5,000 pounds capacity. That's all stamped on top of the coupler head itself as well. Now as far as the tubing itself, the outer diameter here is 2 1/4 inches wide. And the inner diameter there is 1 3/4 inches thick, or wide, sorry. The hole inside is 1 3/4 inches inside. So if you're welding this on your round tubular trailer front, that's the measurement you're gonna need, obviously. Well folks, that's gonna wrap it up. This has been our look at the Bulldog Collar-Lok coupler with the high profile latch, again for a two inch ball with a round tongue. I'm Steve. Thanks for watching.
