Is There An Adjustable Trailer Coupler for 4" Wide Channel on Trailer

Question

Question:

I have a trailer that is set up for a channel mount coupler. I am looking for a coupler that will fit. The channel opening is 4 wide and the bolt holes are 1 and are 3 center to center. Do you have something that will work?

I do have an option for you but we don't have any trailer couplers for an adjustable channel 4" wide as this is not a very standard size. The best option for parts availability would be to switch over to a 3" channel like the Buyers Products Coupler w/ 5-Position Adjustable Channel part # 3370091555 which comes with the coupler. It's rated at 15,000 lbs but if you need one with more just let me know or you can look through our selection below.

In order to swap from 4" to 3" you will need to cut the old channel off and have a welder weld on the new one.

Yes, you can use the Pintle Hook Mount, #63059, in either a rise or drop position. If you need a bolt on pintle hook, use #C48205. It has a 10,000 pound capacity so it has more than enough capacity for your trailer.
