Two Ball Sizes in One Hitch

The supplied Versa-Ball combines both a 50mm and a 70mm tow ball into a single interchangeable attachment. Simply rotate the ball mount to the required size, making it quick and easy to switch between trailers without carrying multiple ball mounts.

This makes the hitch an ideal solution for owners who regularly tow different caravans, horse floats, machinery trailers, agricultural equipment or commercial trailers fitted with different coupling sizes.

Adjustable Height

The 5" drop provides three selectable mounting positions, allowing the tow ball height to be adjusted to suit different trailers. Correctly levelling the trailer helps improve towing stability, promotes more even weight distribution and enhances braking performance.

Heavy-Duty Construction

Manufactured from high-strength fabricated steel, the Gen-Y Mega-Duty Hitch is built to withstand demanding towing conditions. Precision-machined components and a durable powder-coated finish provide excellent strength and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for regular use in harsh Australian environments.

Interchangeable Hitch Platform

As part of the Gen-Y Mega-Duty range, this hitch accepts a variety of interchangeable attachments. Should your towing requirements change, the Versa-Ball can be replaced with compatible Gen-Y accessories such as a single 50mm ball, an Australian Tongue for DO45 couplings or a Pintle Lock.
