Grade 5 Steel Hitch Pins
These Grade 5 steel hitch pins are built for attaching trailers in automotive, agriculture, and lawn-care settings. The red headed design helps them stay visible during quick hook-ups. They suit operators who need a reliable pin for everyday towing tasks. Not intended for buyers who need a locking mechanism or a different diameter.
Red Headed Visibility
The red head makes the pin easy to spot in grass, mud, or low light so you can confirm it is seated before driving off. This visual cue speeds up repeated connect and disconnect cycles on the job site. No additional accessories or software are included with the hardware.
Direct Manufacturer Shipment
Orders of 75 or more ship free and the pins ship directly from the manufacturer, reducing handling steps before they reach your shop. The Grade 5 rating indicates a standard strength level for general purpose towing applications. Not suited for users who require a higher grade rating or a specific corrosion-resistant coating.

Questions about this item
Does the steel pin need any lubrication or scheduled replacement?
The Grade 5 steel pin is designed for repeated hitching cycles; inspect it for wear or bending before each tow and replace it if deformation is visible.
What fails first when the pin sees constant trailer tongue weight?
The Grade 5 steel shaft reaches its shear limit before the red head or retaining clip, so the pin itself is the component that yields under sustained vertical load.
How hot does the pin get during a full day of towing?
The pin runs at ambient temperature because it has no moving friction surfaces or electrical resistance; only the surrounding hitch receiver warms from trailer motion.
