Things to know about Pintle Hook Transport
What is a pintle hook in trucking?
A pintle hook is a crucial part of a pintle hitch system, which is widely used for heavy-duty towing purposes. It is typically mounted on the frame of a truck or commercial vehicle and is used to connect to a lunette ring on the trailer. To ensure secure towing, the trailer’s tongue is attached to the pintle hook using a looped chain or a similar connecting device. To establish a sturdy towing system that can handle heavy loads and substantial movement, a large pin, called a lunette, is inserted through both parts and then secured with retainers.
What are the disadvantages of a pintle hitch?
Pintle hitches offer several advantages, such as increased range of motion. However, they also have some disadvantages, including a rougher and noisier ride. Additionally, they are generally not compatible with weight distribution systems.
What is required when using a pintle hitch to tow a trailer?
Pintle hitches operate through two primary components: a pintle hook and a lunette ring. The pintle hook connects to the towing vehicle, while the lunette ring is affixed to the trailer being towed. The pintle hook jaws encompass the lunette ring and are then fastened with a safety pin (provided).

Hauling a trailer with a pintle hook from Texas to FL
We hauled a trailer with a pintle hook attachment with a semi from Texas to Florida. This was a rush delivery because it was for FEMA’s disaster relief, and the trailers had to be picked up that day and delivered in two days on a Sunday. There was a bad hurricane, and this was one of fifty that needed to be moved. Not only did we take the call at 9 p.m., but we got the job down within hours and completed all fifty.
