Built-In Shock Absorption Mechanism:
The internal construction of the Gen-Y Hitch torsion pin box includes pivot points that allow for movement between the box and the king pin. This dynamic capability is crucial in absorbing shocks and vibrations from road travel. Inside the pin box, tubes with inner bars are surrounded by rubber cords, which twist to follow the king pin's motion. These cords limit excessive twisting and compress to absorb shocks, effectively preventing road shock from damaging your truck or trailer and ensuring a smoother towing experience.
This Gen-Y Hitch torsion pin box is an excellent investment for anyone looking to enhance the comfort and safety of their fifth-wheel towing setup. With its advanced shock-absorbing capabilities and robust construction, it provides a significant improvement over traditional pin boxes, offering a smoother ride and greater peace of mind while on the road.
