EC-HITCHR-01An off-road tow hitch that connects a container's front bottom corner castings to a standard 2 5/16" ball hitch on any utility vehicle, tractor or telehandler. For empty containers only, behind a vehicle rated to 6.4 t gross towing capacity, built in heavy-gauge steel for rough terrain.
This is a different design from the castor-wheel tow bar, engineered for off-road and agricultural towing over rough ground, and it's supplied as a complete kit with fixing screws and extra-thick custom bolts. The 6.4 t figure is the gross towing capacity required of the towing vehicle — it isn't a rating for the container being moved. A loaded 20 ft box can reach 30 480 kg, and neither this hitch nor the off-road wheel kit it pairs with is rated to carry that. Move the container empty, then load it once it's in position.
For off-road container towing on farms, mines and construction sites, paired with the matching off-road wheel kit and towed behind utility vehicles, tractors and telehandlers.
