Hitch Crafter

Hitch Crafter has released a commercial-grade 5th wheel hitch featuring a 50,000-pound towing capacity designed specifically for professional hot shot trucking and heavy-duty hauling. This new model includes self-lubricating bronze bearings to reduce maintenance and an expanded mounting plate to improve trailer stability and weight distribution across the truck frame.

Hitch Crafter is a family-owned and operated manufacturer based in Lexington, North Carolina, that has specialized in high-capacity towing equipment since 2002. With over 22 years of experience, the company is a leader in custom-fit 5th wheel hitches, gooseneck hitches, and specialized truck bodies for the professional hauling and RV industries.

Hitch Crafter manufactures and installs a wide range of specialized equipment, including 50K 5th wheel hitches, gooseneck hitches, and custom hot shot bodies. Their products are engineered for universal compatibility with Dodge RAM, Ford, GMC, and Chevy trucks ranging from 2500 to 5500 series models, providing professional-grade strength for pickup truck platforms.

The hitch improves safety by utilizing a wider mounting plate that increases the contact surface area between the hitch and trailer, significantly reducing trailer sway during highway transit. For maintenance, the integration of self-lubricating bronze bearings at the main pivot point eliminates the need for manual grease applications, protecting the hardware from friction-related wear during long-distance commercial hauls.

The company offers nationwide distribution and provides specific attachment brackets to ensure a secure, professional fit for all supported truck makes and models.
