Clevises are used in a wide variety of fasteners used in farming equipment and sailboat rigging, as well as the automotive, aircraft and construction industries. The Hyland hitch requires the same internal tongue adjustment as a standard 50mm ball hitch via the top-mounted external nut and thread.

The clevis pin is similar to a bolt, but is either partially threaded or unthreaded with a cross-hole for a split pin. These hitch types are more utilised in commercial applications and small trucks and rarely used for camper trailers or caravans as they allow a great deal of knocking and clanging which also produces a lot of wear with metal-on-metal rubbing. Well known for its range of trailer and caravan suspension and parts, AL-KO also has a number of off-road hitches in 2. Clevis Pins are currently supplied in imperial and metric sizes to ISO 2341B and DIN 1444B, in stainless steel and bright zinc-coated steel.tonne) off-road hitch of which it’s up to version three, which the company claims to be 50 per cent stronger than V2. In years gone by, there were relatively few options when it came to selecting an off-road hitch, making a choice easy.

The main pin is spring-loaded and locks into a ‘gate’, plus it’s also secured by a traditional linchpin. A simple and positive two-stage ADR-compliant locking mechanism ensures fast and safe hitching of your trailer in any terrain while allowing for self-centring as your jockey wheel is lowered. The formed head has a lip, which acts as a stop when threading the pin into the shackle, and a flattened tab with a cross-hole. McHitch took a new and alternate look at attaching a trailer to a tow vehicle with its drop-on hitch.While not used too much within the camper trailer industry, we’ll include the Ring and Pintle for general interest. While that good ol’ 50m ball does have its place and can handle long-distance travel on and off the bitumen, there are many situations it simply wasn’t designed for, and it can severely hinder your off-road ability, plus be downright dangerous. Greasable bushings ensure squeak-free workings, while the corrosion-resistant coating should keep your hitch looking like new.

Clevis joints are highly versatile and are deployed in a wide variety of industries including automation technology, the food industry, packaging industry and many others. As a part of a fastener, a clevis provides a method of allowing rotation in some axes while restricting rotation in others. Given it uses a 50mm ball; there is no need to switch coupling if you have multiple trailers in use.While the original AL-KO Off-road Ball Coupling is no longer available (it has been replaced by a design similar to the old Hyland product) the New Off-road Ball Coupling still utilises a standard 50mm ball, although clamps on differently to a standard ball coupling.

The complete unit is bushed to provide a rattle-free operation and incorporates padlock holes to deter theft. Poly block hitches are restricted in their vertical up and down movement (about 70 degrees) via a small pin in the rear of the block and the main safety pin can (at times) foul on the swivel head. A low 83mm hitch height allows for use with most door openings, and the 3500kg rating allows use on most larger campers and caravans too.Other pluses are that the hitch is quite low profile (allowing for use with most tow vehicles’ rear doors), it doesn’t require pins or other locking mechanisms to be used and it can be used with weight-distribution systems. A tang is a piece that is sometimes fitted in the space within the clevis and is held in place by the clevis pin. Since they can be either fully or partially screwed into the clevis, threaded pins provide better stability and security compared to their unthreaded counterparts. While using a clevis pin connection, clevis ends attach to a mounting point, offering seamless connection/disconnection of levers, chains, hooks, and rope.
