Nilight ATV/UTV Three-Way Hitch Adapter 3" Rise/Drop — 3500 lb Heavy-Duty Steel, Ball & Clevis Mounts

The Nilight ATV/UTV three-way hitch adapter is a heavy-duty, bolt-on mounting plate that adds a 3" rise or drop and three towing attachment points rated up to 3,500 lbs.

This compact hitch adapter converts a standard ATV or UTV hitch into a versatile towing station without cutting or replacing the factory hitch. Built from hot-forged steel with a black powder coat and a chrome ball, it provides corrosion resistance and durable connection points for trailer balls, clevis pins, or hitch-mounted accessories. The unit accepts a 3/4" ball and a 5/8" clevis, and its 3" rise/drop design increases ground clearance or lowers connection height for mowers, trailers, and utility gear.

What mounting and towing options does this adapter provide?

The Nilight three-way adapter offers three distinct connection orientations so you can swap between a ball mount, a clevis, or a standard receiver-style alignment. Each position is designed to be used with common towing hardware so fitting trailers, carts, or lawn attachments is straightforward.

• Three-way plate allows ball, clevis, and straight-through mounting positions
• 3/4" ball hole for most small trailers and utility carts
• 5/8" clevis hole for pin-style hitch connections
• 3" rise/drop for quick height adjustments without cutting the hitch

How strong and durable is the hitch adapter for regular use?

This adapter is engineered from hot-forged solid steel and carries a gross trailer weight rating up to 3,500 lbs when used within the towing limits of your vehicle. A black powder-coated finish with a chrome-plated ball enhances rust resistance so it withstands outdoor exposure and repetitive coupling cycles.

• Hot-forged steel construction for high strength and impact resistance
• Rated to 3,500 lbs gross trailer weight (observe vehicle limits)
• Black powder coat and chrome ball for corrosion protection
• Bolt-on installation eliminates cutting or permanent modification

How easy is installation and compatibility with my ATV/UTV?

Installation is designed to be straightforward: the adapter bolts to the existing hitch tongue so you keep the factory receiver intact. It's a universal-style accessory that fits most common ATV and UTV hitch tongues, but you should confirm hole spacing and receiver size before buying.

• Bolt-on design—no cutting or hitch replacement required
• Fits standard ATV/UTV hitch tongues with matching bolt pattern
• Simple hardware attachment; typical hand tools are sufficient
• Check your vehicle's hitch rating before towing

Which accessories and tasks is this adapter best suited for?

The three-way adapter adapts one hitch to multiple tasks: towing small trailers, attaching lawn-mower accessories, connecting implement carts, or mounting ball-and-clevis combinations. Its rise/drop feature makes it helpful for clearing obstacles or matching trailer tongue heights without complex adjustments.

• Towing utility trailers, garden carts, and small equipment
• Mounting lawn mowers, spreaders, and hitch-mounted tools
• Switching quickly between ball and clevis towing hardware
• Raising or lowering connection height by 3" for ground clearance

Who is this for: Owners of ATVs, UTVs, and utility vehicles who need a rugged, multipurpose hitch solution that adds height flexibility and extra mounting options. It suits landscapers, small-farm operators, maintenance crews, and outdoor hobbyists who want a bolt-on attachment to expand towing versatility without altering the vehicle. Always confirm your vehicle’s tongue weight and gross towing capacity before use; follow safe towing practices and local regulations.
