Gen-Y 2" Drop 4000 Kg Torsion-Flex Hitch & Australian Tongue

The Gen-Y 2" Drop 4000kg Torsion-Flex Hitch with Australian Tongue combines Gen-Y's patented Torsion-Flex suspension technology with an Australian Tongue, making it an ideal towing solution for trailers fitted with DO35 or DO45 off-road couplings. Engineered and manufactured in the USA, this premium adjustable hitch is designed to deliver a smoother towing experience while reducing the harsh shock loads transferred between the tow vehicle and trailer. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Rated to tow up to 4,000kg with a maximum 400kg tongue weight, this hitch is well suited to heavy caravans, camper trailers, off-road trailers, horse floats and commercial towing applications. The adjustable design allows the coupling height to be matched to different trailers, while the integrated Torsion-Flex system helps improve towing comfort on both sealed and unsealed roads. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Patented Torsion-Flex Suspension

Unlike a conventional rigid hitch that transfers every bump, pothole and corrugation directly between the tow vehicle and trailer, the Gen-Y Torsion-Flex Hitch incorporates heavy-duty rubber torsion cords inside the hitch body. These cords absorb much of the impact energy before it reaches the vehicle or trailer, helping to create a noticeably smoother towing experience. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

The result is reduced shock loading, improved towing comfort and less vibration being transmitted through the entire towing combination.

Benefits of Torsion-Flex Technology

 
• Produces a significantly smoother towing experience
 
• Reduces harsh shock transfer between vehicle and trailer
 
• Helps minimise trailer bounce and sway
 
• Reduces vibration transferred to cargo and trailer contents
 
• Helps reduce driver fatigue during long-distance towing
 
• Allows the tow vehicle and trailer suspension to work more independently
 
• May help reduce tyre wear and fuel consumption by reducing unnecessary bouncing and shock loading

Australian Tongue

This model is supplied with a genuine Australian Tongue, making it suitable for Australian off-road trailer couplings including DO35 and DO45 applications. It provides a purpose-built solution for customers who require compatibility with popular Australian articulating trailer couplings. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Adjustable Height

The hitch features four adjustment positions, allowing the coupling height to be tailored to suit different trailers and towing vehicles. Correctly levelling a trailer helps improve towing stability, braking performance and weight distribution.

Heavy-Duty Construction

Manufactured from heavy-duty fabricated steel with Grade 8 pivot bolts, the Gen-Y Torsion-Flex Hitch is built for demanding towing environments. The robust construction is designed to withstand the rigours of both on-road and off-road use while providing long service life. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Maintenance

The Torsion-Flex Hitch is designed to be virtually maintenance free. There are no airbags to inflate or bearings requiring routine servicing. The torsion rubber elements will naturally settle during the first few hundred kilometres of towing with a suitable load, allowing them to reach their intended operating characteristics. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Important: Always ensure the tow vehicle, receiver, trailer coupling and all towing components are rated for the intended load. The maximum towing capacity of the complete towing system is determined by the lowest-rated component.
