Nilight 10-Ton Pintle Hitch for 2" Receiver — 20,000 lb Capacity, Forged-Steel with Spring Lock

Nilight’s 10-ton pintle hitch for a 2-inch receiver is a forged-steel heavy-duty tow hook designed to secure lunette-ring trailers up to 20,000 lb with a spring-loaded latch and tethered safety pin.

This Nilight pintle hook is built for demanding towing tasks where strength and reliability matter. Constructed from solid forged steel and rated for 10 tons (20,000 lb), it attaches to a standard 2-inch receiver and mates with lunette rings that commonly have a 2-1/2 inch internal diameter. The unit includes a spring-loaded locking arm and a tethered safety pin, delivering a secure connection that’s easy to operate on the job site or on the road.

How does the Nilight pintle hitch ensure a safe, locked connection?

The pintle’s spring-loaded arm locks the lunette ring into the hook and stays closed under load, while the included safety pin provides a second layer of retention. The pin is tethered to the assembly so it won’t be lost during frequent use.

• Spring-loaded locking arm that snaps shut over the hook
• Tethered pin and clip to prevent misplacement
• Forged-steel construction resists deformation under tension
