Weight Distribution & Sway Control Hitch

The Equal-i-zer is made in the USA and offers best-in-class sway control and weight distribution.

Weight Distribution Keeps you Safe

Have you ever driven by a vehicle towing a trailer and noticed the trailer tongue or back of the tow vehicle sagging? Without weight distribution, the trailer’s tongue weight added to the tow vehicle can cause it to “teeter-totter” over the rear axle which lifts the weight off the front wheels. This can cause a serious loss of steering and braking control, and can also contribute to a setup that is more likely to sway.

The Equal-i-zer hitch’s weight distributing design effectively transfers trailer tongue weight to all the axles and helps keep the front of the tow vehicle firmly on the road.

Without an Equal

The Equal-i-zer hitch keeps you safer than any other trailer hitch on the market, helping you tow with confidence and ease. Ball mounts and other weight distribution hitches fall short. They don’t provide the same level of sway control and weight distribution needed for passing semi trucks, unexpected quick braking, and driving in crosswinds or bad weather.

The Equal-i-zer hitch gives you a safer ride by providing both sway control and weight distribution. This provides better steering, braking, and sway control, which help eliminate stressful driving situations and work to keep your family and your investment safe on the road.

Industry Leading Sway Control Hitch

The Equal-i-zer is made in the USA and offers best-in-class sway control and weight distribution.

Points 1-2: The Patented Equal-i-zer Hitch Head

The patented Equal-i-zer hitch head creates two powerful points of rotational friction that work to stop side-to-side sway before it starts. The sway control is activated by downward pressure from the trailer tongue and upward pressure on the spring arms. The spring arms link the hitch head to the sway control brackets and distribute trailer tongue weight. The tension of the hitch head pinching the two spring arm sockets are the points of friction that effectively hold the trailer in line behind the tow vehicle and combat sway.

Points 3-4: Rigid Trailer Brackets

The Equal-i-zer hitch’s unique rigid bracket design provides two additional integrated friction sway control points. These friction points are activated by loading the spring arms. The Equal-i-zer’s rigid brackets eliminate the unwanted side-to-side spring bar movement. Equal-i-zer’s original design, combined with the stability added by the rigid brackets, makes it the best protection for your journey.

Our Integrated 4 Point Sway Control® provides the highest level of resistance against sway. There is no other hitch on the market that offers as much sway control as the Equal-i-zer.

Integrated Sway Control® Provides a Safer, More Comfortable Ride

The Equal-i-zer hitch eliminates the need for add-on sway control devices and the hassle that goes along with them. With an Equal-i-zer hitch, you don’t have to worry about restrictions on backing up or a tight turning radius. There’s nothing extra to hook up or take off. When the weight distribution is engaged, the sway control is engaged too, providing your family the best protection possible.
