The Application The one person
hitch housing is part of an improved hitch/frame design for the militarys 2½ and 5
ton trucks, used for towing weapons systems, cargo trailers, and other payloads. The hitch
housing acts as an alignment and locking fixture for connecting the trailer tow hook to
the truck tow bar. Through a redesign of the housing to provide lateral motion to the tow
bar during hook-up, the new hitch permits one-person operation, reduces hitch-up time, and
provides for safer handling.
