I do have a fold-away trailer tongue coupler kit that will work on a 3x4 trailer frame, the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit part # FHDPB350101. That said, you will need to use shims/spacers to fill the rest of the gap. This is actually explained in the instructions and very common so no need to worry. view full answer...
If the tongue portion of your trailer is steel then yes you can attach a hinge kit like the part # FHDPB330301 which is for 3 x 3 inch trailer tongues. Or the part # FHDPB350101 which is for 3 x 5 inch frames. view full answer...
I believe I have a solution for you, but the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit, # FHDPB230101, was designed to be mounted so that the tongue would fold to the side. Mounting the hinge kit to where the tongue would fold up provides no lateral stability and should not be used in this way according to Fulton.
It sounds like your trailer frame is 3 inches wide and 2 inches tall. What you could use instead would be the 3 inch by 3 inch hinge kit part # FHDPB330301 and then use a spacer on... view full answer...
There are a couple factors you need to consider when determining what the maximum pivot length you could use on your trailer. You will need to consider the gross vehicle weight of your trailer as well as the maximum tongue weight that the trailer will see.
The reason you will need to consider these factors is because the more of the tongue that is beyond the folded portion of the Fulton Fold-Away Hinge Kit the more leverage the weight of the trailer will have on the hinge and the easier... view full answer...
We do have folding tongue adapters that will fit the tongue of your 1999 Four Winns 190 Horizon, but unfortunately the only way to determine the dimensions of the tongue is going to be by measuring it as we do not have that information and I was unable to find it.
Your trailer will more than likely either have a 3" x 3" tongue and would need the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 3" x 3" Tongue - Bolt On - Up to 5,000 lbs # FHDPB330301, or will have a 3" x 4" tongue as you mentioned... view full answer...
The Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit # FHDPB330301 referenced in your question does limit the trailer tongue thickness to between .188 and .120 inches for it to be compatible. This is simply because the Torx bolts that are included in the kit are a certain length and the nuts may not catch the threads when installing the kit onto a thicker tongue. We have checked with Fulton and they stated that you can replace the fasteners with a grade 5 fastener if you choose to use it on a 1/4 inch... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Fulton regarding the Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit # FHDPB330301 referenced in your question. He stated that as long as the tongue on your aluminum trailer is indeed constructed of solid, galvanized steel, you can use this hinge kit without issue.
This will be a bolt-on installation and is designed for 3 inch x 3 inch trailer tongues. I have attached the complete installation details along with a short video demonstration on this product that you can also check out. view full answer...
It looks like you are looking for a folding hinge kit for your boat trailer tongue. I can help you out with that.
You just need to take a quick measurement of the trailer tongue. I have attached a link to our product page for the hinges we offer. They are designed to fit specific size trailer tongues. For example, if you have a tongue that measures 3 x 3 inches then part # FHDPB330301 is the fold-away hinge kit I recommend for bolt-on or # FHDPW330300 for weld on. view full answer...
For your 2 inch tongue the Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler - Trigger Latch - Zinc - 2" Ball - Bolt On - 3,500 lb # CT-3001-Z is my recommendation. Then I'd use the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 2" x 3" Trailer Tongue - Bolt On - Up to 5,000 lbs # FHDPB230101 with a welded on spacer for your trailer tongue. We do not carry the actual length of tongue metal. If you don't need a folding tongue then you can use a sleeve even one like # 337RT255812 to weld over the tongue to strengthen... view full answer...
The Blue Ox Pole Tongue Weight Distributing Hitch Adapter # BXW4023 you looked at will fit a straight tongue. However, since you have a folding tongue you will not be able to use a weight distribution hitch because it cannot handle the force that will be applied to the hinge.
I have two options for you. The first is to use suspension enhancement like the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL87CD. This will add additional support to the rear suspension and help keep you... view full answer...

I recommend using the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 3" x 3" Trailer Tongue - Weld On - Up to 5,000 lbs # FHDPW330300 which will allow you to cut your tongue and add a new 3" x 3" piece with the coupler to get the extra 3'-4' you are looking for, but will also be able to fold the extra length to make storing the trailer a bit easier.
You will need to get the 3" x 3" tubing from a local metal supply shop, and will need to have the tongue welded to the coupler to complete the project.... view full answer...
The Titan brake line # T0980100 is 25 inches long and should work for you since you are adding the reverse electric lock out. You will want the flexible line to be long enough to not bind or put stress on the rest of the brake lines when the coupler is folded in. It will need to go from the back of the master cylinder, or in this case back of the lockout solenoid, past the hinge. view full answer...
I would be happy to help!
Based on the pictures you provided your trailer uses the discontinued Tie Down Engineering 70LC, and we will need to get a bit creative on a replacement as there is not a direct replacement available.
What you will need to do is use the a folding tongue kit like the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 3" x 4" Tongue - Bolt On - Up to 7,000 lbs # FHDPB340301, but you will first need to measure the size of your trailer tongue. If you have a 3" x 4" coupler this... view full answer...
The correct fold-away adapter we offer for a 3" X 3" trailer tongue is the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit part # FHDPB330301. There are no additional supports or bracing needed for this kit, simply follow the length and weight guidelines laid out in the video I did below and you will be good to go. That said, you will be limited to 5,000 lbs regardless of hinge placement.
If this was not what you were looking for please let me know but keep in mind we don't offer any sleeves, bracing,... view full answer...
I have spoken with one of my contacts at Fastway, and have been told that weight distribution can be used with a folding trailer coupler. I am assuming that you have a pole tongue trailer, so a pole tongue adapter would be necessary. The adapter would typically be installed approximately 30 inches to the rear of the coupler, if the hinged portion of the folding tongue would not interfere with the adapter, you should not have a problem.
If you are interested in part # FA94-00-0600, part... view full answer...
You would need to install the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit # FHDPB330301 on the smaller 3 inch by 3 inch section of the tongue on the coupler. It would fit on your trailer that has a length there of 7-3/4 inches and would work well. It would add a bit of length to the tongue when folded out, but it still would fit and work just fine. view full answer...
The Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit # FHDPB330301 referenced in your question can indeed be used to extend the short tongue on your boat trailer, as long as you follow the tongue and gross trailer weight ratings based on your pivot length (like you mentioned). Doing this may very well reduce your trailer's current capacity, but as long as you remain under the reduced limit, you can do this without issue.
This particular kit is designed for 3 inch x 3 inch trailer tongues. You will... view full answer...
The Apogee Adapt-X 500 folding utility trailer, like # AT74FR does not include a spare tire holder. You can certainly add one, but the problem lies in finding a spot to install a spare tire without interfering with the trailer's ability to fold.
The best spot to mount a spare tire carrier would be the front wall of the trailer bed, above the trailer tongue as shown in the provided photo. I'd recommend using the Fulton Hi-Mount tire carrier, part # FSTC1000301. The carrier provides enough... view full answer...
