Key Features
- Genuine OEM Coupling Integrity — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this hitch coupler meets the exact load-rating and dimensional specs required for towable light tower transport — no guesswork on coupling engagement or latch security.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Engineered to mount to the trailer tongue of LTW-series light towers using the original bolt pattern and coupler interface, making the swap straightforward for any field technician or service crew.
- Broad LTW Series Coverage — Confirmed fitment across LTW6K, LTW8K, LTW20Z-1, and LTW20Z-3 model families, including Standard, Cold Weather, Custom, and V-series configurations in both LED and metal halide variants.
- Maintains Safe Towing Performance — A properly functioning hitch coupler locks securely to the tow vehicle ball, preventing separation during transport. A worn or damaged coupler creates a serious towing hazard and puts the unit and other road users at risk.
- Towing Safety Critical Component — As a primary hitch connection point, this coupler is a safety-rated component. Using a verified OEM part ensures the coupler meets the rated tow capacity and latch specifications required for legal, safe road transport of the light tower.
The hitch coupler is the primary mechanical connection between a towable light tower and the tow vehicle. It clamps over the ball on the tow vehicle hitch and locks in place to secure the trailer tongue during transport. When the coupler is worn, cracked, or the latch mechanism fails, the connection between the light tower and the vehicle becomes unreliable, creating a significant road safety risk and potential equipment loss. Keeping this component in sound condition is essential any time the light tower is moved between job sites.
