My technical contact at MasterLock let me know that the Latch Lock Set # 2848DAT has the following ratings - the 1/2 inch pin is rated for a Class I/II and the 5/8 inch pin is rated for Class III/IV.

12,000-lbs is the rating for Class III.

The coupler pin is not rated.

I have attached a FAQ article covering the differences in the Classes.
