Question:
Can this pintle hitch be flipped into the rise position if needed?
asked by: Chris
Expert Reply:
No, Chris, the adjustable # WS97WR and # WS52ER, and all Weigh Safe pintle hitches, are only to be used in the drop position. The sliding ball mount with built-in scale is designed for safe use in the downward position only, no matter which attachment you have on it (pintle or ball).
Are you mainly needing rise for one specific trailer, or do most of your trailers sit pretty tall already? You may end up needing a pintle hitch that can be in the rise position, such as the BandW Tow and Stow Pintle Hook with 2inch and 2-5/16inch Balls - 2-1/2inch Hitches # BW77BR.
