Expert Reply:

The Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler part # DM16680-52 will fit any trailer with a standard 50 degree a-frame which is almost all a-frame trailers on the market today. Therefore, yes, the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Trailer Coupler will fit an ATC trailer. You'll simply need to mount the coupler, use the holes as a template to drill your own, and then you can continue bolting on as normal.
