Is the Release Lever and Gooseneck Ball on B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch a One Person Job?

Updated 08/02/2020 | Published 07/29/2020

Question:

When flipping the ball, will the release lever lock in the open position to allow this to be a one man job or will I need someone to pull the lever and hold it while I get into the truck bed and flip the ball?

The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs # BWGNRK1384 has a locking position on the release lever to allow one person to do everything without assistance. The release has a position to allow the pin to remain released so the same person can jump in the bed, flip the ball, and then jump back out of the bed and re-secure the pin. I've attached a video to show this function.
