The Wacker Neuson Pintle Hitch is a genuine OEM towing connection component designed for the LTN and LTV series light towers. This is a direct-fit replacement sourced from Wacker Neuson, ensuring correct dimensions and mounting compatibility across a wide range of LTN6L, LTN6C, LTN6K, LTN8K, LTV6K, LTV8K, and LTV6L light tower configurations — including Tier 4F, Cold Weather, and 50 Hz variants. As a genuine OEM part, is built to the exact specifications of the original component it replaces, so you can be confident it will seat, secure, and perform correctly from the moment it goes on. Keep your light tower road-ready and compliant with a properly functioning hitch that holds up to the demands of regular tow-in/tow-out deployment on active job sites.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Towing Hardware — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original specifications, with correct load ratings and mounting geometry for the LTN/LTV hitch interface — not a generic tow hook.
- Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting pattern and pintle ring configuration, so installation is straightforward without fabrication or adapters.
- Broad LTN and LTV Series Coverage — Fits LTN6L, LTN6C, LTN6K, LTN8K, LTV6K, LTV8K, and LTV6L light towers across multiple build configurations, including Tier 4F, Cold Weather, and 50 Hz variants.
- Tow-Ready Connection Point — A properly functioning pintle hitch keeps the light tower securely coupled to the tow vehicle during transport, preventing dangerous separation on the road or at the site entrance.
- Towing Safety Compliance — The pintle hitch is a load-bearing safety component. Using the correct OEM part ensures the connection meets the design load capacity of the trailer frame and complies with towing regulations.
The pintle hitch is the primary towing connection between the light tower trailer and the tow vehicle. It consists of a forged hook and locking mechanism that engages a lunette ring on the tow vehicle's drawbar, creating a secure but articulating connection that accommodates movement on uneven terrain. When the pintle hitch is worn, cracked, or missing its locking hardware, the trailer becomes a towing hazard — the connection can work loose under road vibration or come uncoupled entirely during transport. Replacing a damaged or worn hitch with a genuine Wacker Neuson 5000178795 restores the safe, rated towing capacity the light tower was engineered to handle.
