Weight distributing hitch
Tech > Weight distributing hitch
The simplest connection between tow vehicle and trailer is a weight-carrying hitch (WCH) system where the tongue weight of the trailer (typically be 10-15% of the trailer's total weight) is placed on the hitch and, by extension, the TV's rear axle. With large trailers come heavier tongues, and without a weight distributing hitch (WDH) system, the rear axle may become overloaded and the front axle underloaded:
WDH systems distribute the tongue weight over all of the axles in a rig:
WDH ensures that proper steering control of the tow vehicle is maintained and that the rear axle is not loaded beyond its capacity.
Our system is the ProPride 3P. For more information, check out our 3P page.
