Part Number: DM14040-81

R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Fits a 3" wide adjustable channel bracket and couples to a 2-5/16" hitch ball.
Vehicle / System Fit: Trailer applications requiring a channel-mounted coupler rated up to 21,000 lbs GTW.
Installation Notes: Channel bracket and mounting hardware are sold separately. Minimum span needed for a pin lock is 3".
Performance Insight: The cast steel body, composite latch handle, and 500-hour salt spray rated powder coat finish make this coupler a strong choice where repeated hookup cycles and exposure resistance matter.
R&P Service Insight
Channel-mount couplers like this are often selected when trailer tongue height needs to be adjusted for level towing. The eZ-Latch design also helps speed up hookup by allowing the coupler to drop onto the ball and latch automatically.
- Hookup Simplicity: Latch can remain closed before dropping onto the hitch ball
- Durability: Composite latch handle resists corrosion and impact
- Application Flexibility: Adjustable channel mount allows height changes based on trailer setup
