Description The Collar Style Sleeve Lock Adjustable Coupler, part #31-CTA-196, delivers a strong and flexible trailer connection. It fits a 2″ hitch ball and supports up to 7,000 lbs GTW. As a result, it works well on trailers that use an adjustable channel mount system. The channel bracket is sold separately. This coupler mounts inside a 3″ wide channel bracket. First, you slide the coupler into the channel. Then, you set it at the height you need. Finally, you secure it using the included Grade 8 hardware. Because of this design, leveling the trailer tongue for different tow vehicles is quick and simple. The collar-style design uses a pin-style latching mechanism for easy hookup. You pull back the spring-loaded collar. Next, lower the coupler over the hitch ball. Once in place, release the collar to lock it securely around the ball socket. For added peace of mind, you can also install a safety pin through the latch. A black powder coat finish protects the coupler from rust and corrosion. Therefore, it performs well in wet conditions and on salted roads. In addition, the solid steel construction provides long-lasting durability for jobsite use and extended towing. In terms of size, the coupler measures about 8-1/2″ from the center of the mounting hole to the front edge. The mounting holes are spaced roughly 2″ on center. The collar pin hole measures approximately 5/16″ in diameter. Together, these dimensions make it easy to match the coupler to the correct channel bracket. Overall, this adjustable channel-mount coupler is a great fit for utility trailers, equipment trailers, car haulers, and flatbeds that need a reliable 7,000 lb connection. It combines easy hookup, flexible height adjustment, and dependable towing performance.
