SALMAN 5T Aluminum 6061 Hitch Receiver for 2" Trailer Hitches – Grey, Dual-Pin 11,000 lb Rated

The SALMAN 5T aluminum hitch receiver converts a standard 2" trailer hitch into a 11,000 lb-rated towing anchor with dual-pin versatility.

This compact 50 x 50 x 155 mm (2 x 2 x 6 inch) hitch accessory is CNC-machined from aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum, anodized grey for corrosion resistance and light weight. Designed for users who need a strong, low-mass connection point for D-shackles, winch links or recovery rigging, the SALMAN receiver balances a 5,000 kg working load with corrosion‑resistant finishing and dual pin-hole geometry for flexible rigging orientations.

How does this hitch receiver fit standard towing setups?

The SALMAN receiver is sized for a 50 mm (2") square hitch tube and slides into most class II/III receiver openings. It secures with two hitch pins and offers two through-holes so you can orient the D-shackle for vertical or horizontal loading depending on your rigging plan.

• External dimensions: 50 x 50 x 155 mm (2 x 2 x 6 in)
• Accepts standard 2" hitch tubes and common hitch pins
• Dual hitch pin holes for horizontal or vertical shackle alignment
• Lightweight 0.76 kg body simplifies handling and installation

What strength and material performance can I expect?

Manufactured from aluminum alloy 6061, the receiver offers a high strength‑to‑weight ratio and good corrosion resistance when anodized. It is rated for a 5-ton (5,000 kg / ~11,000 lb) working load—suitable for many recovery and towing accessory uses—but always follow safe working load practices and system ratings for all connected hardware.

• Material: 6061 aluminum alloy for durability and light weight
• Finish: anodized (oxidation) grey for weather resistance
• Working load: 5 metric tons (5,000 kg / ~11,000 lb)
• Net weight: approximately 0.76 kg for easy handling

How do I use the dual-pin design for recovery and winching?

The dual-pin layout lets the D-shackle or recovery point pivot and orient to the load direction, reducing binding and aligning hardware for cleaner load paths. Use one pin for fixed attachment or both pins to retain the shackle in a chosen orientation for repeated connections.

• Horizontal orientation: shackle swings left/right for inline pull angles
• Vertical orientation: shackle faces up/down for raised attachments
• Use locking or heavy-duty hitch pins to secure under load
• Inspect pins and shackle ratings to match the 5T working load

What installation and maintenance should I follow?

Installation is straightforward: insert into a 2" receiver, align the preferred pin holes, and secure with appropriate hitch pins. Periodic inspection of the anodized finish, pin wear and shackle interface prevents corrosion and maintains rated performance.

• Insert into compatible 2" receiver and line up desired hole
• Secure with rated hitch pin(s) and safety clip or locking pin
• Routinely check anodized finish and fastener tightness
• Replace any deformed or corroded pins or shackles immediately

Who is this for: The SALMAN 5T 11,000 lbs aluminum hitch receiver suits off‑roaders, recovery specialists, fleet operators and anyone needing a lightweight, corrosion-resistant anchor for D-shackles, winch links or recovery gear. It appeals to users who require a robust 5-ton working load in a compact package that fits standard 2" receiver systems and allows flexible rigging orientations.
