The Gen-Y 7.5" Drop 4500kg Torsion-Flex Hitch with 50mm Tow Ball combines heavy-duty towing capacity, adjustable ball height and Gen-Y’s patented Torsion-Flex technology in one robust towing system. Supplied with a genuine 50mm tow ball, it is suitable for caravans, camper trailers, horse floats, equipment trailers and other trailers fitted with a compatible Australian 50mm ball coupling.
Rated for towing loads up to 4,500kg with a maximum 500kg tongue weight, the 7.5" drop hitch body provides five adjustable positions. This extended adjustment range helps match the tow ball height to different trailer drawbars, while the internal rubber torsion system reduces the harsh shock and vibration normally transferred through a rigid hitch connection.
A conventional rigid hitch transfers bumps, potholes, corrugations and sudden trailer movement directly between the trailer and tow vehicle. The Gen-Y Torsion-Flex Hitch uses heavy-duty rubber torsion cords within the hitch body to absorb and dampen much of this impact energy.
By allowing the tow vehicle and trailer to react more independently, the hitch provides a smoother and more controlled towing experience while reducing the vibration and abrupt loading transmitted through the towing combination.
The 7.5" drop hitch body provides five selectable ball-height positions, offering greater adjustment than the shorter 5" model. The ball mount can be repositioned quickly using the supplied hitch pins, making it easier to accommodate trailers with different coupling heights.
Maintaining a level trailer helps promote predictable handling, effective braking and more even weight distribution while reducing unnecessary strain on the tow vehicle and trailer suspension.
This model is supplied with a genuine 50mm tow ball for trailers fitted with a compatible 50mm ball coupling. The interchangeable Gen-Y platform also allows the ball mount to be replaced with other compatible Gen-Y attachments should your towing requirements change.
A mechanical tongue weight scale is incorporated into the hitch body, providing a convenient visual guide when setting up and balancing the trailer load. Maintaining an appropriate tongue weight is important for stable, predictable towing performance.
The hitch is fabricated from heavy-duty steel with precision-machined components and two 1" Grade 8 pivot bolts. It is engineered for regular use in demanding recreational, agricultural and commercial towing environments.
The enclosed rubber torsion system contains no airbags requiring pressure adjustment and no conventional bearings requiring routine servicing.
Inspect the hitch, tow ball, pivot bolts and retaining pins regularly for wear, damage or excessive movement. Keep the mounting points clean and replace any worn or damaged component before towing.
Important: Always confirm that the tow vehicle, receiver, tow ball, trailer coupling and all other towing components are appropriately rated for the intended load. The safe towing capacity of the complete combination is determined by its lowest-rated component.
