I needed a forklift part and wasn’t sure which one fit. They asked for the model and serial number, got back to me quickly, and made sure I ordered the right one. Really helpful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum tongue weight capacity of this receiver? A: The 2-inch receiver is built for heavy-duty use and typically supports up to the vehicle's front axle rating; always follow the vehicle manufacturer's towing and accessory weight limits.
