Demco Adjustable Channel Mount Trailer Coupler — 2-5/16" Ball, eZ-Latch

Manufacturer Part Number: DM14040-97

Demco cast adjustable channel mount trailer coupler designed for heavy-duty trailers using a 2-5/16" hitch ball and a vertical channel-style mounting bracket. This coupler features Demco’s eZ-Latch automatic locking system, which engages the hitch ball when lowered without requiring the latch to be manually held open.

Channel mount couplers are commonly used on equipment trailers, dump trailers, flatbeds, and utility trailers where tongue height adjustment is required. The adjustable channel design allows the coupler to be positioned at different heights to help maintain a level towing setup across multiple tow vehicles.

Features

  • Adjustable channel mount coupler design
  • Demco eZ-Latch automatically locks onto the hitch ball when lowered
  • Cast steel construction for heavy-duty towing applications
  • Primed finish suitable for painting or additional coating
  • Compatible with standard 2-5/16" trailer hitch balls
