No, any grease you have in the gun is fine. If you are buying grease specially for it just buy general purpose.
No worries we will sell you the back end of the off road trailer hitch to complete your unit so you can have a complete OzHitch.
You are best to get the 33mm single hex impact socket for the OzHitch nut. This works great.
Maximum height excluding handbrake is 98mm.
This really depends on the situation. It you return a hitch because for some reason you changed your mind etc there will be a restock fee. If the hitch is faulty all fees are wavered and all funds including postal are refunded.
Yes all hitches come with the large connecting bolt.
Yes this should eradicate the hammering entirely. All parts have close tolerances and nylon type bushing so no rattles.
Yes, the bushes on the main swivel body and the vertical pin need some grease but not a lot as they are not a spinning high velocity bush. The grease is only for a bit of lube to stop squeaking and unnecessary wear. All offroad caravan hitches need some grease.
The pin can use a spray with silicone instead of grease. This is what I personally do. So no mess on the pin and easy to wipe of and reapply when it gets dusty.
Yes if you notify us on purchase of the hitch that you have a Treg and require spacers we can include them for you.
Most hitches are used/sent to Original equipment manufacturers OEM so are not generally sold in many accessory outlets. Better to buy on the site as we offer a 100% money back guarantee.
Yes everything can be bought as a spare part. Lost pins are the most common spare to carry.
The handbrake is separate to the hitch so that it can be fitted remotely further away from the coupling. The OzHitch was designed to overcome problems with hitches being too high and fouling with doors and gates, so we made it possible to put the handbrake further away and separate to the hitch. The hitch also has the same bolt hole pattern as 2 of the OzHitch’s so if you wish it can be bolted straight to on the back.
Yes the handbrake has its own onboard ratchet so it can be fitted anywhere you like.
Handbrake fits to the back of the 3.5Ton 4 bolt hitch through the same bolt holes/pattern as the hitch. Always suggest fit handbrake remotely away from hitch. This prevents door clearance problems etc.
As above I always suggest fitting remotely.
We recommend that you carry a spare connecting pin. These can get lost or stolen so it is worth having a spare. If you are going on a long trip then it is also worth carrying a set of spare bushes. Both of these two spare parts weigh very little and take up a very small amount of space. Getting spare parts to outback Australia, is not a quick process.
Yes its perfect for Pajero’s and works a treat as the maximum height of the hitch is only 98mm high from the top side of the bolt on plate to its highest point.
The conversion is relatively straight forward. You will need a grinder, 20mm drill bit or a large rat-tail file. Best to watch the video or read the explanation on the conversion page.
Yes… the OzHitch comes with adjustment bolts on the underside of the receiver so so you can adjust the receiver straight and also stop it from rotating.
The only bolt included is the bolt to bolt down the car side receiver. The trailer side requires you to buy the bolts separately. Available under accessories on the site.
Yes the OzHitch comes complete with the car side and trailer side including the bolt to attach and the connecting pin.
Our caravan hitches is suitable for all camper trailers and caravans up to 3.5 ton. Narrow internal width between drawbars use the 3.5 ton 4 bolt or if you have 100 mm or over, the 2.5 ton 4 bolt or 3.5 ton 6 bolt can be used.
The 6 bolt unit was designed specifically with the ability to be retro-fitted with another manufacturers bolt pattern so that it is easy to exchange. Always advisable to use all the holes but quite safe to just use the 4 holes so long as 2 of the holes used are the front 2.
Yes OzHitch can be fitted on its side and inverted no problem. DO NOT fit the car side cradle inverted or on its side.
We most definitely suggest the removal of the main shaft and bushes if you are going to weld on, as the bushes may suffer distortion or melting depending on the level of heat.
No U-bolts are not designed for this and leave far to much room for error and can be quite dangerous. Much better to just weld it on.
OzHitch can be welded as they are steel cast, not iron. So welding is fine.
Once the off road trailer hitch is returned, it will be checked thoroughly. If the unit was faulty, then we will pay for the return fee. However, if you simply didn’t want it for some reason, you will be required to pay the freight. This will be deducted from your purchase price as a refund.
