Weight of Class 8 Air Safe Shock Absorbing Ball Mount  

Question:

Expert Reply:

Thanks for letting us help Cameron. The Air Safe Shock Absorbing Ball Mount - Mount Only # AS38FR weighs 87.5 lbs. That's before adding a ball mount or weight distribution bracket, which will add another 20-30 lbs to the overall setup. These are definitely some heavy duty hitches! Of note, this is the Class 8 ball mount which is the heaviest in Air Safe's lineup.

Because of the weight, quite a few customers use a transmission jack or another hydraulic lifting device to help position the Air Safe in their truck's receiver. If you don't have access to something like that, I'd definitely recommend having a second person help you lift and position the hitch. At over 100 lbs fully assembled, it's not something you'll want to wrestle into place by yourself. Make sure you lift with your legs!

What type of trailer or equipment are you planning to haul with the Air Safe?
