Trailer Coupler Solution for a 30 Degree Trailer Frame

Question

Question:

I was wondering if there was an A-frame trailer coupler to fit a trailer wih an approximate 30 degree frame, rather than the standard 50 degree frame, please? Otherwise, can I make wedges to suit the BD44150WH301 bolt-on coupler, or do you recommend welding in some way? Many thanks for your time!

All of the A-frame couplers we sell are designed to fit 50 degree frames.

As long as you, or the person doing the welding, is a qualified welder who knows what they are doing you could use the # BD44150WH301 on your trailer and then have wedges used so that the angle of the trailer and coupler match up.
