How Much Can I Tow With the Anti-Wobble Device with Lock # 63232 and a 10,000 Lbs. Hitch

Question:

I need to know if this part is strong enough to pull 7200lbs on it. My hitch is rated for 10000lbs but, I commonly tow my Jeep that weights 6000lbs. I use the Jeep to pull my boat that weights 6000lbs with a 7200lbs rated hitch. Will this pin handle 7500lbs at least or will it shear off before those types of weights are towed behind my vehicles.

The Anti-Rattle Device and Lock, # 63232, is made of chrome plated steel. It does not have an official capacity because it has a higher breaking point than a hitch or ball mount that would be used with it. I have included a link to a video showing how the lock works.
