10T Truck Pintle Hook | CTA-045738

Couplemate™ specialises in safe and secure towing equipment. The CM504, or the 10T Pintle Hook, is rated to a maximum ATM of 10,000kg and has a CTA number.

Product Specifications

This pintle hook has a yellow horn and is designed to tow 75mm trailer ring couplings.

  • Maximum ATM: 10,000kg
  • Maximum D-Value: 49kN
  • Component Type Approval Number: CTA-045738
  • Hole Centres: 85mm x 45mm

Important: Do not use this component in any application that exceeds the specified maximum D-Value and/or ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass). If you need a higher ATM or D-Value, you may need: PINTLEHOOK-504

Why is the D-Value important?

Towing capacity for Pintle Hooks is critical when selecting the correct pintle hook because the towing capacity changes depending on your truck and trailer weight.

Finally, the hitch rating is a force measurement due to dynamic testing (2,000,000 cycles at full load) where maximum pressure is applied to the pintle hitch. In the case of a Couplemate 10t pintle hook pintle ring on the right-hand side image, the “D-Value” is 49kN.

Mismatched towing components wear and break prematurely.
