Can the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit # FHDPB330301 Be Mounted So the Tongue Swings Up Not Over
Question:
Technical Question RE: Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 3inch x 3inch Tongue - Bolt On - Up to 5,000 lbs. Your video and information shows this being mounted so the tongue will swing left of right. Can it also be mounted so that the tongue swings up - - - or is this not engineered to work with the forces that would be exerted in that mounting position? Thanks loads.

Expert Reply:
The Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit, # FHDPB330301, was designed to be mounted to where the tongue will fold to the side. Mounting the hinge kit to where the tongue would fold up provides no lateral stability and should not be used in this way.
