Is Dexter Zinc-Plated, Leverlock Coupler Available in a 7K Weight Rating
Question:
Do they make this coupler in 7000#?
asked by: Doug
Expert Reply:
To get the Dexter Zinc-Plated, Leverlock Coupler # T4845000 in a higher weight rating you'll need to bump up to a hydraulic actuator like what we see with part # DX89FR which has a 7.5K weight rating.
For an alternative standard coupler solution I recommend checking out the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM13689-95 which uses an eZ-Latch, is rated for 10K lbs, and bolts onto your trailer frame. This coupler is also Made in the USA and is backed by a 1-year limited warranty so as far as quality goes, it matches what you were looking at as well.
