Published 10/02/2025 >
Question:
My lowboy equipment trailer has a lunette ring and weighs about 20K when loaded. Will the WS97WR handle that kind of weight? hello from Ohio

Yes, Jon, and hello from Missouri!
The Weigh Safe Adjustable Drop Hitch 8" # WS97WR is rated for 22,000 lbs GTW and 2,200 lbs tongue weight, so it’s built to handle a heavy-duty equipment trailer like yours with a lunette ring. The 8" drop also helps if your truck sits tall, keeping the trailer level for safer towing. Also if you have trailers with 2" or 2-5/16" couplers, this will work for that as well with the pull of a pin.
Do you usually run that trailer fully loaded, or does it vary depending on the job?
