The Wacker Neuson Hitch is a genuine OEM component designed for LTN and LTV series light towers, including the LTN6L, LTN6C, LTN6K, LTN8K, LTV6K, LTV8K, and LTV6L models. As a direct OEM replacement, this hitch is manufactured to the same specifications as the original part, ensuring a correct, hassle-free installation on compatible Wacker Neuson light tower units. This part is sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, so you can be confident you're receiving an authentic component that matches the original configuration. If your light tower hitch is worn, damaged, or missing, part number is the factory-specified replacement to get your unit road-ready again.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original design tolerances, ensuring the hitch coupling geometry and load rating match the unit it was built for — no guesswork on fitment or towing capacity compliance.
- Direct Bolt-On Replacement: — Mounts to the light tower frame using the original attachment points, making this a straightforward swap with no drilling, re-fabrication, or adaptation needed.
- Broad LTN and LTV Series Compatibility: — Confirmed fit across multiple Wacker Neuson light tower families, including LTN6L, LTN6C, LTN6K, LTN8K, LTV6K, LTV8K, and LTV6L models.
- Restore Towability: — A damaged or worn hitch can render a light tower immovable between job sites. Replacing it with 5000178780 restores full towing capability so your unit stays in rotation.
- Towing Safety Compliance: — The hitch is a load-bearing towing component. Using the correct OEM-specified part helps maintain proper coupling integrity and compliance with safe towing practices for trailered equipment.
The hitch on a towable light tower is the primary coupling point between the unit and the towing vehicle, transferring all towing loads during transport between sites. A worn, bent, or broken hitch compromises the connection between the tower and the tow vehicle, creating a towing hazard and leaving the unit stranded when it's needed most. Replacing a damaged hitch promptly with the correct OEM part keeps the light tower safely mobile and ready for deployment.
