Tow hitches can also be attaching to a tow-bar to a set of main gears or the nose of an aircraft. There are several kinds of hitches. They could be in the form of a tow pin and jaw with a trailer loop. This design is normally used for agricultural applications with large vehicles where slack in the pivot pin allows articulation and swiveling. It can likewise take the form of a tow-ball to be able to enable the same movements of a trailer. The towing pintle is one more category of hitches which is utilized on military vehicles worldwide.

The ball-mount is the device which the ball attaches to in North America. There are receiver kinds of hitches accessible which use removable ball-mounts. Another design is the fixed drawbar type of hitches. These kinds have integrated ball-mounts. It is important for the ball-mount to match the SAE hitch class. The ball-mount utilized in a receiver type of hitch is a rectangular bar that fits into a receiver that is connected to the vehicle. There are removable ball-mounts accessible which are designed with a various drop or rise in order to accommodate varying heights of trailers and vehicles to allow for level towing.

It is essential to have the right combination of trailer and vehicle to be able to safely tow a load. There should be correct loading both vertically and horizontally on the tow-ball. There are sources and plenty of advice obtainable in order to prevent problems.

Outside North America, tow-ball vehicle mounts are referred to as the tow bracket. On all passenger vehicles, the mounting points are defined by the vehicle manufacturer and the tow-bracket maker. They must use these mount points and prove the efficacy of their bracket for each vehicle by completing a full rig-based fatigue test.

Various pickup trucks have outfitted on the back bumper 1 to 3 mounting holes placed in the center area. The application of these was to be able to help accommodate tow-balls. The ones on the farthest right or left are normally utilized by drivers in rural settings who tow wide farm equipment on two lane roads. The far side mounting enables the trailer and all that being towed to be further away from the opposite side of the road.

Individuals should utilize extreme caution whenever using the bumper of a pickup truck for towing instead of using a frame mounted hitch, in view of the fact that the bumper does not supply as much strength. Bumper towing is normally reserved for towing lighter kinds of loads. The weight ratings used for both bumper mounted hitches and frame mounted receiver hitches can be seen on the pickup truck's bumper and on the receiver hitch. There are numerous pickup trucks with no frame mounted receiver hitches. These usually utilize the rear bumper, particularly in instances when it is not a full size pickup.
