Published 10/02/2025
Question:
My dump trailer is 18k when loaded. is there a pintle hitch for it? Would the WS89WR handle that safely?

Expert Reply:
Yes, Cole, the Weigh Safe Pintle Hitch 8" drop # WS89WR is rated to 22K GTW, so your 18k dump trailer is within spec. The built-in scale is especially useful here, since you can double-check tongue weight before hitting the road with a heavy load. It's amazing how much of a difference you can see on the scale when shifting the cargo/load just a foot or so up or down the trailer.
Do you usually run it maxed out with gravel, or does the load vary job to job?
