Shocker Hitch 14K 2 Inch Air Receiver Hitch Base Frame with 2 D-Handle Pins

Description

Meeting strict Class 4 drawbar towing mandates, the Shocker 14K Air Receiver Base Frame forms a modular towing foundation. Sized for standard 2in receiver boxes, this base manages 14,000 lbs pulling force with 1,400 lbs tongue capacity. It dampens severe chassis bucking, though operators must supply their own compatible Shocker ball, pintle, or clevis mounts.

Constructed around laser-cut ASTM A572 Grade 50 steel side plates, this base chassis withstands brutal tractive forces. The solid cold-finished 2in steel shank fits Class 4 truck receiver tubes directly. Net base weight registers 40 lbs with an overall horizontal depth of 13-1/2in. Industrial gloss black powder coat seals the welded steel frame against gravel abrasion and winter road salt brine.

Key Features of Shocker Hitch SH-200-200

Fleet operators buy Shocker Hitch SH-200-200 to assemble custom multi-trailer towing rigs on heavy fleet trucks. Supervisors review commercial air base frame pricing for fleet standardization programs.

• Solid 2in square steel shank slides into all modern Class 4 receivers.
• Rated for 14,000 lbs gross pull weight with 1,400 lbs vertical tongue strength.
• Modular vertical channel accepts standard Shocker ball, clevis, and pintle mounts.
• Internal heavy cord air spring absorbs vertical chucking during transit.
• Dual hitch pin holes in the shank provide adjustable bumper step clearance.
• Includes two heavy D-handle steel pins with safety clips for quick attachment swaps.
• Thick welded steel side gussets prevent lateral frame twist under severe sway.

Dynamic Pneumatic Base Bench Analysis

Dynamic pull tests confirm the bare frame reduces cab vibration transfer by up to 65 percent. Tensile load testing demonstrates the solid 2in shank survives 25,000 lbs drawbar pull without measurable yield. Air spring pressure curves show linear progression from 15 PSI empty up to 80 PSI loaded, keeping 1-1/2in of active travel stroke under full tongue weight.

Attachment Rigging Field Operating Guidelines

Installing modular ball mounts involves sliding the attachment into the front channel and inserting both D-handle pins. Setting bladder pressure takes a basic tire chuck. Do not operate this base frame without locking the D-handle wire clips, and never exceed 1,400 lbs tongue load.

• Lubricate the central pivot bronze bushing using grease every 30 days.
• Check cold air bladder pressure with an analog gauge every 14 days.
• Inspect channel pin holes for elongation or wear grooving every 90 days.
