Why does MB MaxLoad use only Pintle Hitch Connections?
When it comes to towing heavy-duty trailers, safety and reliability are non-negotiable. That’s why MB MaxLoad Rentals exclusively uses pintle hitch connections on our rental trailers instead of traditional ball hitches.
SAFETY:
Why a Pintle Hitch is Safer Than a Ball Hitch
A pintle hitch system is stronger and more secure, especially for heavier loads, rough terrain, and commercial use. Unlike a ball hitch, which can become disconnected if not perfectly secured, a pintle hitch uses a heavy-duty hook and lunette ring combination that locks in place and resists disconnection even under extreme stress. This makes it ideal for construction, landscaping, and industrial applications.
RELIABILTY:
Why a Pintle Hitch is More Robust Than a Ball Hitch
Pintle hitches provide a wider range of articulation, reducing strain on the towing vehicle and trailer when navigating uneven roads. This added flexibility minimizes the chance of mechanical failure and improves overall handling. Add to this, there is never a chance of attaching a trailer to the wrong size Pintle Hitch...unlike a ball hitch which can be attached to the wrong size hitch ball and disconnect during travel. The Pintle Hitch is either attached or not, no confusion of what size attachment.
Simply put, there are a lot of good reasons that farmers, industrial towing and even all of the US Military Branches rely on the Pintle Hitch to get the job done right! The pintle hitch connections offer increased safety, durability, and peace of mind, especially for demanding jobs. It’s one more way that MB MaxLoad Rentals prioritizes reliability and performance for every rental.
