In 1991, we designed and patented a truly
innovative solution to the gooseneck
dilemma; how to get the ball out of the bed
when not towing a trailer. The solution was
simple and ingenious. A 4" hole is cut in
the bed to accommodate the ball and the
mounting system is beneath the bed, bolted
to the frame. A spring-loaded handle is
attached to a 5/8" steel locking pin that
goes through the ball. When you're using the
hitch, the handle allows you to retract the
pin and stow the ball, upside-down, in the
same receiver. The design was quickly
accepted as a great improvement to the
welded-in-ball and fold-down plates used at
the time.
We have designed a Turnover Ball for
every full-sized truck on the market so
there is a model that fits your truck
exactly. We do this so that installing the
hitch requires the least amount of
modifications to the truck frame...
modifications that could void the
manufacturer's warranty. From the cross
members
and center section
,
to the sideplates
and socket top,
each part of our hitch is designed with you
in mind. Even our safety chain brackets
are installed specifically for your truck.
You can trust the Turnover Ball...
it's time tested.
The Turnover Ball has been
professionally tested and is rated to 30,000
lbs Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) and 7,500 lbs
Vertical Tongue Weight (VTW). But even more
important to us is the fact that the
Turnover Ball is time tested.
Customers have been hauling their precious
cargo with the Turnover Ball for over
fifteen years, and it has an impeccable
safety record. It's easy to see why; we're
committed to quality! All components are
made at our state-of-the-art manufacturing
facility in Kansas. Because we're so
confident in the Turnover Ball, we offer a
lifetime limited warranty.
