SAFETY WARNING READ BELOW

ON 4/14/2004 I VISITED SOME STORES THAT SOLD RECEIVER HITCHES AND ACCESSORIES. WE WERE SURPRISED AT THE QUALITY AND SAFETY DIFFERENCE AMONG MANUFACTURES.

AT A KNOWN FOR A LOW PRICE STORE THAT PRIVATE BRANDED THEIR MERCHANDISE, I FOUND SOME MERCHANDISE THAT I PERSONALLY THINK SHOULD BE BANNED FROM IMPORTATION INTO THE USA. THE THING THAT SPARKED MY ATTENTION TO DO THIS PAGE ON HITCHES WAS THAT A FEW DAYS EARLIER I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND A REAR PLATFORM THAT EXTENDS FROM A FRAME MOUNTED VEHICLE RECEIVER WAS LOSING PARTS AS I FOLLOWED IT DOWN THE HIGHWAY.

UPON CLOSE INSPECTION I FOUND THAT THE NUTS supplied for use IN ASSEMBLY WERE JUST PLAIN NUTS. NOT A COMPRESSION NUT, AS SHOWN IN FAR LEFT PHOTO, NO NYLON INSERT, NUT ON THE RIGHT. A REGULAR NUT HAS NOTHING TO HELP TO KEEP THE NUT FROM FALLING OFF THE BOLT AS IT WOULD VIBRATE, RATTLE, AND SHAKE AS IT WENT DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I WILL BE DOING REVIEWS ON PRODUCTS THAT I HAVE INSPECTED AND I CAN RECOMMEND TO YOU AS BEING SAFE. THE PRIVATE LABEL FOR THE STORES THAT ARE SELLING MODELS NOT UP TO MY SAFETY REQUIREMENTS WILL BE NOTIFIED AS WE REVIEW MORE BRANDS. THE WAL-MART STORES WERE KIND ENOUGH TO LET US INSPECT THE HITCHES AND ACCESSORIES THAT THEY SOLD. IN ONE CASE FROM A MAJOR USA MANUFACTURE I FOUND THAT ON THEIR UNIVERSAL RECEIVER HITCH THAT THEY WERE STILL USING THE SAME NUT SUPPLIED WITH JUST A LOCK WASHER ON THE ADJUSTABLE HOLLOW BOX TUBE ASSEMBLY THAT I HAD TOLD THEM BACK IN ABOUT 1990 THAT WE HAD EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE UNIT VIBRATING LOOSE AND THE UNIT SEPARATING FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE TRAILER RAN OFF THE ROAD INTO THE DITCH. THE OTHER WAL-MART PRODUCTS WE INSPECTED ALL SEEMED TO BE OF A QUALITY OF MANUFACTURE I FELT COMFORTABLE ABOUT. MORE SPECIFIC REVIEWS WILL FOLLOW ON PLATFORM HITCH ACCESSORIES, BIKE RACKS, ETC.

THIS IS A WELL MADE, ALL WELDED RECEIVER.

THIS MANUFACTURER IN MOST CASES SUPPLIES A CUSTOM FIT, NO DRILL MODEL TO FIT YOUR VEHICLE. ALL YOU DO IS BOLT IT TO THE FRAME WITH THE SUPPLIED PARTS AND IT IS ON AND WILL STAY ON FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. THE PARTS PICTURED IN THE UPPER RIGHT ARE THE BOLT AND NO TWIST BOLT HOLDER SO WITH THE SUPPLIED WIRE YOU PULL IT THRU THE HOLLOW FRAME, ( SO AS TO HAVE A SOLID SURFACE FRAME TO HITCH, ) AND THRU THE HOLE AND YOU PUT A HEAVY DUTY FLAT WASHER, THEN LOCK WASHER, THEN NUT IN PLACE AND TORQUE TO SPECIFICATION SUPPLIED WITH THE RECEIVER AND YOU ARE DONE. A LOCK NUT OR COMPRESSION NUT IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THIS APPLICATION AS THE ASSEMBLIES WILL NOT TWIST AND MOVE AS IT WOULD ON A HOLLOW TUBE OR A PLATFORM OR BASKET ASSEMBLY.
