Product Details
The Air Chamber and Plunger Kit from Buyers Products functions as a shock absorber, extending from the vehicle to the eye of the trailer's drawbar, utilizing the truck's air brake system to minimize movement between the pintle hook and the eye or ring, while also securing the pintle jaw during transit. This kit is designed to work in conjunction with an air compensated pintle hook to effectively cushion shock and reduce wear, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications, including semitrailers used in both off-road and over-the-road scenarios. For optimal performance in off-road conditions, it is recommended to reduce the load by 25% and utilize a swivel-type trailer drawbar. Key features include the reduction of wear and tear on the towing hook and drawbar, the absorption and cushioning of shock by maintaining proximity between the drawbar and pintle hook, and the prevention of uncoupling by locking the pintle jaw during transit. The kit includes necessary components for installation and use, ensuring compliance with relevant certifications and standards for safety and reliability in demanding environments.
