Adjustable Dual Ball Mount that Can have Ball Platform Reversed for Storage Position
Question:
CAN THIS HITCH BE REVERSED FOR STORAGE? AND CAN A LOCKING PIN BE PLACED WHERE THE BALL ATTACHES
asked by: ALAN
Expert Reply:
We have ball mounts that do allow the platform to reverse so that it's out of the way and you'd be less likely to bang your shin on it, but the Fastway E Series ball mounts like the # FA42-00-2600 have a machined stop on the shank that prevents this. Instead, you would want to use the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount part # BWTS10040C which is a very similar ball mount setup that can have the platform reversed like you are wanting. The Tow & Stow has a 10,000 lb capacity, 2" and 2-5/16" hitch balls, and offers 7" drop and 7-1/2" rise.
I attached a picture that shows what it looks like reversed as well.
For a lock set for this you could use the # BWTS51234 for just a hitch pin lock or part # 34061775-D for a set that locks the platform and the hitch pin.
