Assembly Weight Hitches

A weight distribution hitch (also called a load-equalizing hitch or load leveler hitch) is essentially a hitch designed to distribute the tongue weight of a trailer across all four wheels of the tow vehicle. Any time a trailer is hooked up to your vehicle, it puts a certain amount of weight on the rear axle, which is called the tongue weight. The job of a weight distribution hitch is to even out that weight over the entire vehicle so that both the trailer and vehicle ride more levelly. This gives you more control on the road and makes the job of towing easier on your vehicle.

Before and AfterThe diagram below displays how a weight distribution hitch can help level a vehicle-trailer combo. It shows the effect of the trailer tongue weight at the coupling point without a weight-distributing hitch installed, as well as the effect corrected with a hitch installed. This is a representation only, but it does help provide a visual of the weight-distributing concept.
