The Demco Trailer Coupler # DM69FR was designed with simplicity in mind. You only need to place the coupler over the hitch ball and lower it; ball and coupler will automatically engage. There will not be any more play and the connection will be as secure as other couplers and hitch ball connections.

Answer 1

We certainly do! The hole in the #DM69FR coupler that the locking pin would pass through is 5/16, which would easily accept the 1/4 inch diameter locking pin used by the etrailer #e98888 Coupler Lock. I've linked to a product demonstration video…

There sure is Jonah. The Demco Trailer Coupler item #DM69FR has a standard 4-1/2" on center mounting bolt pattern. It has 5/8" diameter bolt holes. What is the spacing between the bolt holes on your Big Tex 14Ph trailer?

Hey Larry, we sell a bolt/hardware kit for the Demco Adjustable Coupler part #DM88XR with the part #DM6166 which the price for that is down below. Does your trailer have the channel needed for this?

Hey Randy. Drilling the 5/8" holes out to make them 3/4" is going to effect the integrity of the Black Demco Trailer Coupler item #DM69FR. I recommend going with the White item #DM99VR which already is pre-drilled for 3/4". It has the…

Generally the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole part #DM14793-81 is very easy to release. There is a lock/pin hole located just under the latch that may have a pin in it preventing it from opening. I have linked a photo showing exactly where…

Personally I prefer the Demco Trailer Coupler #DM14976-52 with the composite handle over the Coupler #DM15791-81 with a metal handle. I feel it is easier to operate as it does not have the safety latch like you get on the metal handle. Since most…

Answer 11

Good question; the bolts in the Hardware Kit for Demco Adjustable Channel Mount Couplers #DM6166 should be torqued to 150 lb-ft during install of a Demco coupler like #DM14040-81 to a bracket like #DM66134.
