Video Transcript for Review of Demco Adjustable Trailer Coupler - Coupler Only - DM05557-97

Hi, everyone. Steven here with etrailer. Today we're looking at our Demco Slide-Lok Trailer Coupler. It's an adjustable channel-mounted coupler, and it's been primed, and it's gonna work with a 2 5/16 inch hitch ball rated at 12,500 pounds gross towing weight. Now, folks, this does fit a 3-inch wide channel bracket, so this would go inside of the channel, and then you would use the bolts you already have to secure it in place. You simply pull the safety pin out here that keeps the collar from opening, and, at that point, when you pull the collar down, this spring-loaded side is gonna pop open which would then let you put the ball in.

Obviously it's gonna be down like this. And then whenever you put the ball in, you would simply squeeze this back together. That's gonna automatically slide down, so watch your fingers. I do have a ball here, a 2 5/16 ball just for demo only, just to show you how this works. So, again, you'd pull the collar, and then you'd go down on the ball, and then you would simply push this together.

Now it is locked in place, and then whenever it's time to unload or uncouple, you simply pull the collar back, (ball banging) and it's going to uncouple that and let you use your ball again for something else and then park your trailer. So it is a pin-style fastener that holds that collar up in place. So, again, once you get it hooked up, you're gonna put this pin back in place here, and that's gonna keep it from being able to slide back and open back up. So, again, folks, prime finish, payment to match whatever your trailer color is, and, again, rated at 12,500 pounds capacity. Again, you should have that channel bracket and mount of the hardware already.

If you need some new ones, we do sell 'em separately here at etrailer. You can reach out to us if you need assistance finding that. I'm Steven. Thanks for watching, and have a great day.

Great products and they stand with you til it is delivered at your door



by:

The coupler, channel and bolts were packaged together without proper packaging materials to keep the parts from damaging each other when in transit. The once powder coated coupler took the brunt of the damage. I will probably have to repaint it, unless you want to send another



by:

Great product and great customer service! This coupler works great on my utility trailer and and is well built. No flaws that I can discern.



by:

For 15 years, we have successfully used a slide-lock design ball coupler on all our trailers. We started using the Demco Slide-Lok about a year ago. All my drivers like it and have asked me to replace our current couplers with this one. It's the easiest coupler to couple and uncouple we have ever used. The slide works very smoothly. I will continue to replace our couplers with the Demco Slide-Lok when replacement is needed.



by:

Bought this and used it in a demco 5 position 3" channel coupler for a military trailer build. Exactly what i wanted to get rid of the old hydraulic actuator pintle setup.
