Trailer Tugs

Yes, our 5th Wheel Super Duty Trailer Tug comes with one attachment (for 5th Wheel/Gooseneck/Anderson trailers) and one ball hitch post (1-7/8”. 2”, 2-5/16”). The attachments and ball hitches are easily interchangeable if needed.

Traction issues are most likely caused by a lack of tongue weight exerted on the unit, assuming the unit is being used on a solid, flat surface, particularly when moving up an incline. Our weight pack accessory adds about 80 lbs worth of tongue weight to the unit, with space for up to two weight packs (for a max of ~160 lbs).

Our tugs provide safety and convenience for many industrial and abnormal use cases, including the military, factories/assembly lines, food trucks, waste treatment facilities, and movie production sets. Please contact us if you have questions about compatibility with your use case.

Tongue weight capacity will vary by unit but is generally around 10% of the unit’s total weight capacity (and slightly higher for the smallest and largest units). Generally, our automatic ball lifts have slightly lower tongue weight capacities than the manual lifts. Exceeding our stated tongue weight capacities can potentially damage the unit and cause malfunctions that could potentially damage the trailer. On the flip side, the units do require a certain amount of minimum tongue weight to ensure that there’s sufficient traction.
