Product Description
B&W Towing Patriot Fifth wheel Hitch, 18,000lb GTW, 4,500lb VTW, Easy To Connect and Disconnect Trailers, Requires Mounting Rails
The versatile new 18,000-pound Patriot rail-mounted complements B;W's full line of hitches and is built to exacting specifications for smooth, flawless and virtually inaudible operation. The Patriot's two, solid one-inch tubular steel carriage rails are designed with sturdy center supports that prevent the rails from deforming or binding as a result of flexing under load. Hourglass-shaped rollers convey the carriage mechanism with fluid motion, regardless of topography. Once unlocked, the hitch is free to slide back into its maneuvering position and afterward, it glides up to its locked position just in front of the rear axle.
The Patriot 18K slider makes it easy to engage and disengage a trailer, as well. Thanks to its cam-lock design and three-quarter-inch-thick wrap-around jaws, an operator can couple or uncouple any trailer, regardless of the lay of the land. Pivot arms feature tough polyurethane bushings that allow the engaged coupler head to pivot smoothly, and the fully articulating head is cushioned by an integrated leaf spring.
